doesn’t surprise me in the least about Wendy’s, they won’t take a bill larger than a $20. Corporate decision, even though they know it’s costing them money, they don’t care.

It only costs $1 for a large iced tea at Mc’d’s

They went bankrupt didn’t they? They closed all but a couple in NC. I think Greensboro and Charlotte are the only two left.

Not much of a writer either.

Not to mention folks like me that really pay attention to what type of workers they have- I even peek in the back if I possibly can. If I suspect the crew are illegals I will never ever return. I would rather deal with a spaced out teen that has no idea how to make change- at least they are likely citizens and they need to learn how to work somewhere- I encourage them every chance I get.

"I think a good number of Fuddruckers restaurants have already closed across the county."

In my geographical area, I know of five closed Fudds I could drive to in 30 minutes, and only one still in operation.

“5 Guys is about the same cost as Wendy’s...and 100X better.”

Huh? The only time I went to Five Guys it was 10 bucks for a burger, fries and drink.

At my local stores:

Wendy's...Double Baconator Combo (medium): $7.99

5 Guys: Bacon Cheeseburger (which is 2 patties), regular fries (enough for 2-3 people) and drink: $10.57.

The size of the fries plus the quality of the burger makes 5 Guys a better value, at very close to the same price.

Yes I know of at least a dozen that have closed.
But twenty years ago, when they were just starting, people would wait in line for 30 minutes to get in.

My eating experiences there were always good. They actually made malts with malt added.

All I can think of was my bicycle trips to McDonalds around 1960.

Burgers 15 cents.
Fries a dime.

The Colonel would be spinning in his grave if he knew how low-rent his product has become.

Go to YouTube and look at what the KFC target demographic was 35 years ago. Now look at today's.

Same with McDonald's...my son calls them "Ghetto Burger" and suggests that Homie the Clown would be a much better mascot today.

That's $1.82 today adjusted for inflation.

Price today? $2.00. But the quality in 1960 was far superior, without a doubt.

...never seen anything like the media hit on Palin

Oh, Nixon got it 24/7 from the press, too, BUT He was in office! and they pretty much quit after he resigned.

But you are right, nothing like thae attack on Sarah Palin--AND she is a private citizen!!

She must have them dribbling in their Depends.

It was a different time. I was 11 or 12 yrs old. Mom gave me two quarters and I rode my bike a couple miles to get there - wow I was hot stuff.

Our family stopped at a Wendy’s yesterday and the tab came to $31!

You obviously didn't avail yourself of the items on the value menu. Here, I'll help: "junior bacon cheese burger, value fries, small chili, to go". Less than $4. The kids just need to know their place, and their place is the value menu.

Words of wisdom.

A Republican attack obama? Are you:1. dreaming. 2.Hallucinating. 3. Joking?

A Republican member of Congress called him when he was lying about obamacare. The other Republicans almost lynched the guy. a lesson learned.

I’m not surprised. We don’t eat at any of these places.
