That’s roughly around the time I’m rolling out my Surge Boycotting strategy.
I can’t wait!
Fuck that, boycott now!
The Baconator is clouding my decision making abilities.
It won’t when it’s $20 for just the burger.
I’ll be using Surge make a sandwich at home.
Worst case of food poisoning I have ever suffered was from a Baconator. Fuck Wendy’s with fire.
The economy doesn’t care what people aka consumers want anymore. At shareholder insistence, they sabotage the future for a short term stock boost, knowing infinite growth on a finite world is over. This is terminal stage capitalism, and it’s not just gonna be Wendy’s, or in the food sector. The snake is eating its own tail as the scam runs out of room.
Capital markets were sold as seed funding to grow businesses, now they dismantle business ability to provide the product/service they existed for in the first place at any remotely decent quality. Economies are supposed to be lowly tools, existing solely to benefit and serve society, a method to more efficiently distribute goods/services within said society. The tail is wagging the dog.
The customer is the shareholder. The consumer is a means to an end. Same as it ever was.
The consumer/employee is livestock to the owner class, to be exploited at both ends, and discarded when it is exploited to the point it can no longer produce.
This shit can fuck all the way off
capitalism is nearing perfection their workers must be excited about all that surge pay
mmm yeah… that’s it.
Also, I’m sure they will not use the conversion rate at higher prices to test out a higher base price.
I mean, if they want to but I’m getting fast food less and less. My wife and I got two numbered breakfast meals from McDonalds and it ended up being $27~. Yeaah I’ll just make breakfast at home.
Breakfast from a local diner costs less around here.
Jokes on them, every single fast food place near me has already priced themselves out of contention as far as I am concerned.
You’re a fucking convenience freckle-bitch, not an $11 burger.

I’m gonna surge the fuck outta here.
Bye bye Wendy’s. Dave is rolling in his grave right now.
the good Mexican place in town feeds us better food for less than we would pay at 2/3rds of the fast food places in town. The exceptions being Cookout and Taco Bell. Either way, my family has been moving further and further from fast food going from once a week to maybe once a month if we are driving somewhere and don’t have time for something else.
I don’t know whether to quote from Snow Crash or Libertarian Police Department.
Have read Snow Crash more than once, but hadn’t heard of that New Yorker article. A+++. Loved that he had to put a quarter in everything.
This will really hamper my 0 visits to Wendy’s without coupons.
Nooo not the le epic company with the funny tweets
Wendy’s isn’t a parody account?!
Psst. Hey kid, want to buy a Baconator?
Isn’t it almost $15 for a meal now anyway? Not worth it for fast food.
$5 for a biggie bag.
4 for $4 (RIP) was my go-to when I was poor. It’s not great or healthy but it was by far the cheapest option at a job where bringing my own lunch every day wasn’t feasible
Kind of like how dealers give your first few hits for free,fast food companies spent the past two decades getting people addicted to cheap fried foods. Now that the overwhelming majority of people are addicted, they can charge whatever they want.
