So a company that has items as low as one dollar can't make it in this economy? But I was told repeatedly that "Happy Days Are Here Again" by the fool box.

They should just organize a spinoff. Call it the ‘sup restauraunt chain, short for “What’s up?”, where the UP comes from UnderPerforming...

How about turning some of them back into Roy Rogers! I miss Roy’s. Lord knows I bought enough holsters of fries for the long commute home. (In NJ, and I finished them before I got back to NYC, and before Bloomberg was mayor, but I’m sure he was still planning ...)

"Let's furlough about 2 million Federal workers, and see if that gets the Economy moving in the right direction?"

The Wendy's in Nicevklle Florida would screw up my order abojut a third of gthe time I went there. I quit going for several years and tried it again about a month ago. I ordered a double with nothing on it but mustard and got one with cheese.

Earlier this year, we stopped at the one in Greenville, Alabama and it was the dirtiest Wendy's I have ever visited.

I've never seen more empty storefronts in my life. I imagine all the heartache and broken dreams these failed businesses represent.

And then I picture Zippy on one of his five-star vacations.

I never disliked Wendy’s food, but I rarely stopped at them if there was any other choice; and haven’t been in one for over 15 years, because...

I can NOT drive and “drink” a Frosty; and on the road, I’m not interested in going in to sit & eat; I want & need to keep on truckin’.

I could NOT get a SHAKE! And I got tired of asking if they had shakes yet. Not serving milkshakes at a burger joint is like not offering grilled onions & mushrooms at a steakhouse.

I can eat a burger & fries behind the wheel, using one hand and not looking at the food (I know where my mouth and hand are!) but, I can’t do that with a large drink cup & a spoon; and the Frosty could never be sucked through a straw until it melted.

That was okay (The Silver Goblet Milkshake) at Bob’s Big Boy, as I was seated to spoon it up; not trying to drive.

Call me a cliche, but when I get a burger & fries, I want a MILKSHAKE with it.

And, more to the point, a CHOICE of flavors, not Chocolate-Take-it-Or-Leave-It! Yes, MAYBE chocolate; but sometimes pineapple, or banana, or raspberry, or cherry, or a mixture of two or more: that’s why I go to DQ.

I understand that they do (allegedly) have some shakes now; and even a choice of flavors, but it is years too late to entice me back.
