that's probably WHY they're raising prices: to compensate when a lawsuit comes along.

P.S. I still dislike your signature. :|

Since this old thread has already been bumped, i'll jump in. I haven't noticed the increase, but don't go to Wendy's often enough to really matter to me. I also don't like the OP's sig, IMHO the first and last sentence describe the thought process behind most of the policies supported by the DNP. Then again, this isn't P&N, so I'm just some moron in off topic. :)

2 jr bacon + 2 chicken nuggets + lemonade + frosty >> *

WOW! for one dude?! wow...

Really not that much. Those burgers are tiny. I usually get two of them, a baked potato, and if I'm feeling particularly hungry I'll get the nuggets.

*shudder*

1900 calories, 99 grams of fat, 31 grams of saturated fat, 181 grams of carbs.

You don't think that's a lot for one meal? :)

Wendy's Chili is delicious. Make sure to get grated cheese on there.

I don't know where you came up with those numbers. With the chicken nuggets, it's 1350 calories, 55 grams of fat, 20 saturated, and 155 carbs.
Without nuggets, it's 1090 calories, 41 of fat, 16 saturated, and 131 carbs.
Since my daily caloric intake should be at least 2000 calories and I only eat lunch and dinner, no, I don't think that's a lot for one meal, it's just about right.

Make sure to ask if it's corporate or a franchise store. If she works at a mall, it's definitely a franchise.

She works at a regular Wendy's, she is a manager.

Those are like White Castle, you have to eat 50 billion of them to fill up.
