    This is why I stopped ordering from them.

      Also, they have Palantir AI tangled in their management and running the supply chain.

      The same company that is trying to make the entire world a surveillance state, and are giddy about their AI being used to kill military targets.

        It’s completely on brand though.

        CEO: I want to have state of the art AI-enabled surveillance on all aspects of our business. No vertical, no horizontal, no customer, will escape the gaze of our panopticon!

        VP: Sir, this is Wendy’s.

      I stopped ordering from them because they pay their employees garbage wages and expect them to perform like they’re being paid at a king’s ransom.

      Case in point the Wendy’s near me was running with two people for over half a year. This was long after the pandemic by the way.

        This is an app called “Goods Unite Us” on Android. I think they have a site and iPhone app too.

          Cool, but I’m skeptical of how accurate this is. According to the app, Amazon predominantly supports Democrats (by a 2 to 1 margin), and donated to Kamala but not the Orange Pedophile. That seems fishy seeing how Bezos was getting the VIP treatment at the inauguration. Am I misunderstanding something (won’t be the first time)?

            It does seem out of date. I hadn’t used it in awhile. I hope it’s not shovelware.

          Or you can just use the website and not take up room on your device and let them data mine you.

            The app has zero permissions and takes up ~65MB.

      I stopped ordering from them because of the heartburn and reflux. I stopped meeting friends there because of their morals. And I’ll mock them endlessly for sponsoring their own destruction.

      I hope that the employees from all these Wendy’s (nutsonyourchin, I’m sorry!) land jobs at Costco and that local restaurants succeed at establishing roots in the ashes of this cursed company.
