    The Wendy's around here can't get but 3 people to work per shift. Make it commission. But if they were too busy, the sandwich guy wouldn't have enough spit for your burger.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    If there are no customers in there already does that mean things are free?

    The Wendy’s close to us is pretty good. But I don’t like that kind of pricing.

    Surely this means the drive thru will be moving you along a lot faster?

    The one closest to us is dirty. The one second closest to us has a crew that can't figure out how to use the cash register and then when filling orders skips from on to the other and never gets them right. The one third closest to us is OK, if we want to drive that far.

    Man the one nearest me if there's two cars in the line your waiting 10-15 minutes to get through. This is just another reason not to go. I get progress but they haven't been right since they changed the frys and all their marketing.

    Interesting. Some will stop going due to higher prices I am sure. But, others will see that as an opportunity to get through the line faster due to lower demand.

    I also suspect there will be a lot of whining and such and in the end, very few will change their behavior regards where they eat because of this.

    Our Wendy’s is across the street from Chic-fila. They can look out their window and see how to run a business

    We have one Wendy's in a nearby town. We like to eat there every now and then but the dining room is rarely open due to a shortage of workers. Sux to eat in the truck. There is a McDonald's next to Wendy's, they don't seem to have those issues with workers and keeping the dining room open. The McDonald's near where I live has no staffing issues either, dining room is always open.

    I have tried twice to test the Wendy's breakfast.

    Drive thru speaker 7:15am: "Um. We ain't open yet ain't no manager here"

    Driver thru. Place order and pull up. Hand card. "We can't take no card. Da machine ain't work. You got cash?". Yes, I have a $20. "Do you have exact change 'cause we ain't got no change?". No. Have a nice day.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    We once stopped at a local dinner on the way up to Maine. Stood like idiots for about 5 minutes trying to get seated. I finally walked into the kitchen where I found 3 employees taking among themselves. I said I’ve been waiting for about 5 minutes to get seated at a table. I was told sorry we are short staffed and I will have to wait. We walked out, crossed the street to McDonalds where they must have had a dozen workers pounding out burgers. How do businesses stay open like this ?
