I was wondering what you guys think will happen to Wendy's if the economy keeps getting worse. All of the chuds are being told to invest in the S&P500, and so small cap is getting left behind.
To be clear I don't invest in Wendy's but it's a good benchmark for a bad small cap business.
>>62287504I'm amazed every day they're still in business
5 years ago everyone put them in the upper tier and 10 years ago they were considered top tier with their twitter shitposts and anime girls.Why did they get so bad and lose the simple mindset of charging reasonable prices and not hiring like 20 pakistanis to work at all the local wendys near meTheir app is also inferior to the mcdonalds app
Honestly if Wendys wants to become popular in the west then they should just change the logo to wendy getting blacked in doggystyle position then it might be popular with the US and UK crowd again
>>62287504Bearish...they pay chefs 300k
>>62287558What do you mean chefs? You mean the fat torta Mexican bitch that serves me with an attitude?
>>62287585Either youre too much of a newfag, im too much of an oldfag, or the chef at wendies making 300k meme is just too rare these days. Maybe youre just a slop bot. The world may never know. Ill probablt have a baconator tomorrow.
WEN to the moon when they rebrand Wendy as a slutty succubus anime girl and put out "export all foreigners" X posts.
>>62287504Wendeez nuts hit your chin
>>62287550Gee Rabbi such words of wisdom
>>62287550Hot
>>62287504Wendy's is still better than Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonald's and Arby's.
>>62287514>Why did they get so bad and lose the simple mindset of charging reasonable pricesThey're still much better than their competition.I can get a double Baconator and a drink for under $9. Same stuff at Five Jews is over $17. The Baconator tastes better, too.
>>62288152Forgot obligatory. The one thing I do hate about Wendy's is that every time I eat one of their Frostees I get the shits. They do taste pretty good, though.
>>62287504Wendy's is important to mothers, the working class, and moon crickets. It's not going anywhere.
>>62288031It’s not even close to Arby’s But the rest is accurate. The truth is there are actually some decent fast food places these days Culver’s, In and Out, Chic fila, Raising Caine’s, etc.
>>62288152five guys has literally always been overpriced though.
>>62288183I do wonder how far the consumer can be sucked dry of their savings before these restaurants give way though. What will the fed do about it... print money to save the cyclical consumer businesses? I'm not too sure.
>>62287504Nothing bad will happen to wagie farms in general because they're a jobs program.I was in Miami 1.5 years ago, on my way from the airport I stopped at a Checkers (of all places to be innovative), GPT took my very specific order perfectly in a professional tone in english.No high off his ass zoomie retard fucking it up.No spainglish fucking up "no deceo unos pickles uhhh sir no ... no tomato sauce eh ketchup you say me?"No downs case "ummmmkaayyyyy"No bitchy cunt tilted because its been 10 mins since her last smoke break.No "uhhhhh suuuuurrrr, thats not muh job"Just an AI speaking in a normal tone and getting my order right, then repeating it back.Tech for a robot to flip burgers has been around since 00s.These businesses exist to keep plebs busy all day, to keep them from rioting and looting.
Double Stack Biggie Bag, with a diet coke, and a small Frosty. $8.43. Take my money bitches.
>>62287504It's all about the owners.They charge more to get more profit and the dip, the workers and costumers don't matter.
>>62289967It's a valid observation and will be put to the test by 2030, as AI will have propagated across the US and UK more by then
>>62289994I think wendys has had an interim CEO for a long time. It doesn't seem like anyone wanted to even own it. 2+ billion in debt will do that I guess
Didn't buy much stock. Fine with it going either way. Easier way to keep tab on it being pre-dumped so it can't go much lower. This is an investment strategy for when there is a bubble in nearly everything. Get a little bit of the stuff that dumped before the crash. If it goes up in spite of it, fine sell it in the middle of everyone else is going through years of loss. If it goes down a bit like everything else in the crash, wait a while then buy the dip. The only mistake is buying too much right now.
>>62290012It isn't more common for exactly that reason.I think people may think when they read that, that I mean some sort of robo call center bot or slow high latency stilted robot.The robot spoke to me with maybe a half second delay, answered all my questions, removed the items I wanted removed, it was like talking to a person.Its not a sales job.You don't need to like the person who's notarizing your food order for 20 seconds, just like theres no art to sticking whoppers in the automated whopper machine and carrying them to an automated time warming box. It would be better food and service, at higher volumes, for 1/20th of the cost (AND fast food would actually be FAST again) for them to automate everything. They don't do it because its a jobs program. There is no other cope.That is why it exists.
>>62288031>Wendy's is still better than Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonald's and Arby's.MCD is the best not even close. I haven't seen a Wendy's or BK that wasn't a fucking mess and the food wasn't shit since before Covid. Even the Wendy frosty has gone down hill. I love when retards complain about MCD prices just use the fucking app not as cheap as it used to but still pretty good.
>>62288196None of those are near me though.>>62290391I haven't eaten fast food in at least 1 year.
>>62290414>I haven't eaten fast food in at least 1 year.Ya I eat fair amount and used to prefer Wendy's but its really fallen off. THE QPC is tops imo, I was bummed when the brought the Chicken Strips back they used to be better.The Mcflurry is pretty good the I liked the smores one they had a few months back
>>62287504Wendy's is still one of the biggest abusers of DEI and will be sued for it soon like IBM/etc. Hopefully they'll go tits up and stay that way.
