    I remember when Dave Thomas was still alive. I loved Wendy’s quality over most everyone else, so I would prefer them even if something else was closer or cheaper.

    THE VERY NEXT WEEK after Dave died, there was a very noticeable drop in burger patty size and quality. I basically stopped eating at Wendy’s after that.

    I’m sure this is also what Dave would have wanted.

      There’s a reason why the powers that be have been focusing on promoting businesses over people.

      People have standards. People have pride. They can feel shame. Businesses can’t. There’s no one to blame when they lower their standards. They’re predictable and easy.

      Pretty sure there’s a similar story with the Costco founder being the only thing keeping them from raising the price of their hot dogs.
