Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

Probably a PR stunt. If heard more about Wendy’s the last 2 days than the last year.

Half of the people that read this will probably think it's far-fetched but it's more than likely spot-on, and we should expect to see more enragement engagement in the future.

I absolutely hate wrestling now because of their whole "there's no good or bad. There's only 'heat'" to talk about engagement. It's what musk does too.

And I have already said fuck that noise.

Engage or not, you're in my go fuck yourself list. And all I will do is shit on your brand. And no, shitting on your brand does not actually increase sales. Look at BP. Look at Kellogg. I will nuke your fucking brand.

Oh god. It's like the stupid mobile game ads or tik tok ads. Please no.

Honestly Taco Bell and McDonald's are better. I'm sick of Wendy's. Fries suck, burger okay, always left full. McDonald's breakfast especially. It's still shitty food that's bad for you and overpriced, but it gives me the right feel. Wendy's kinda just sucks.

Wendys breakfast potatoes hit harder than any hashbrown but otherwise I agree.
