Why is it that I never stop to eat at Wendy's?

Almost 3 years living in the US. I have heard they have good soup or something.

What am I doing wrong

 

Nothing?

At least as far as eating (or not) at Wendy's goes anyway. As someone who's lived here longer than you, I can assure you that eating there is not a requirement. Hope you've otherwise enjoyed your time in the States though.

 

Where in the US are you Burn?

Where do you go instead? McDonald's, Burger King, White Castle, Whataburger, Jack in the Box, In and Out, or something else?

 

NC

Bojangles, Sonic, Chipotle. Overall the chains not very impressive

 

Chipotle slaps

 

You are doing right. Stay away from fast food it is poison. Most US food is GMO poison grown with glyphosate.

 

I've eaten at Wendy's twice in my life and neither visit occurred within the last two decades. I think I'm considered family by my local Chinese place though...

 

To be fair we had wendy's here I never went to it , and it was nearby
lol

 

Only good thing at Wendy's is the Spicy Nuggets. Mega cheap and halfway tasty. I wouldn't bother otherwise.

 

All fast food in the US is ok not great. Haven't gotten fast food in many years for that reason

 

It's all mediocre, but it has one thing going for it. It is consistent. You know when you order it in North Carolina it will be the same as Minnesota, Texas, or California. So if you're someone who doesn't like spicy food, has dietary restrictions, etc, you can find something that you can eat when you don't know any of the other options.

 

Most annoying thing about fast food is that each chain has its own version of menus that comes with sides and other moveable parts, and I only have so much time to stand in the line to decipher the madness.

This is probably also more me as a foreigner + masks due to covid, but it's hard to understand the staff explaining to me just what types of drink I can or can't get with the menu before they charge me extra.

 

I have similar issues. It seems like each chain's menu is the sort of thing that needs to be studied for a while before you can even know what they have and what's a good deal. Sometimes I'll stand off to one side and let a couple people order before me so I can look at the menu board(s) for a bit before I go up to the register and order. I probably come off looking like some kind of Austismo, but I am, so people can deal with it.

Side note: I had Wendy's earlier today, and was surprised to find the Jr Bacon Cheeseburger was half decent. Overall experience was maybe 6.5-7/10. Probably gonna be a while 'till I go there again, but this thread had me thinking about it, so I went.

 

this is why I like the machine interfaces to order

 

burger, fries, coke, done

its not hard

 

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.

 

well if you want to get specific you say,

"Hi can I get a..... (the pause is important) .... double baconator...... MEAL...... with pub fries instead of regular fries.... with a coke. Yes pub fries. Large. No....that's all."

 

Don't eat any fast food man, it is terrible for you and why most of the United States has an obesity problem. Processed food, + fake sugars, and no exercise is why we have a giant health problem. Try eating at a local bbq place or a local burger joint, almost always better, cheaper, and better ingredients.

If you have to do wendy's can't go wrong with a junior bacon cheese burger. Stay safe.

 

Portions are out of control too. I bet that local BBQ place or burger joint serve up meals that are 1500+ calories.
