Good thing this went away:
If you want fast food spaghetti go to Jollibee. They’re famous for it.
I can’t vouch for how good it is since I’ve never gone there (even though there is one not far from where I live). It’s a very successful fast food franchise based out of the Philippines, and they serve Filipino style spaghetti, which uses a sauce made from tomatoes, banana-based ketchup, and brown sugar (so it’s much sweeter than Italian marinara). Also, Filipino spaghetti has sliced hotdogs in it. (Jollibee also adds ground beef and diced ham as well.)
I grew up in a Filipino neighborhood and ate plenty of Filipino food as a kid, but don’t ever remember eating that. I’m not sure if I’d like it, it certainly sounds horrible. But it’s one of their key dishes and they are a huge success, so what do I know.
The McHot Dog didn’t get rave reviews either.
Wendy’s has experienced several breakfast menu flops starting in the mid-1980s. The latest iteration seems to be doing better, but the company has been cautious about revealing data.
Maybe the Wendy’s master plan to jack up prices at busy meal times will be a resounding success, who knows?
I vaguely remember that, I don’t think I ever had one. I did get the grilled hot dogs at Burger King and they were pretty good. Also, Burger King shocked me with how good their tacos were. Of all things, they served a really good taco. Sadly, both their hot dogs and tacos are long gone. 
I love Wendy’s breakfast, it’s my favorite place to grab a breakfast sandwich. I love their potato wedges and their Breakfast Baconator is possibly the best fast food breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. It has been a long time since I’ve actually ordered it since I don’t eat fast food barely ever, but dang it is good. I would believe that their breakfast is successful because in my opinion they have done a fantastic job with their menu items.
Apparently the reverend is a perv with little to no self control. I think that a man like that would not be deterred by a burlap bag.
Seconded. Those potatoes are amazing.
Guess I’m having Wendy’s for breakfast tomorrow now…
I often walk into McDonald’s and make note of who walked in before me. Inevitably it’s a couple, 20-30 yrs old, who head for the ordering kiosk. By the time I walk to the counter, look at the menu, order, and get my drink… you guessed it… they’re halfway through their clicking: Go to the “Burgers” screen, scroll down, figure out that a McCrispy is in the “Chicken” menu, choose the Spicy McCrispy, say no to Deluxe, get sent to the “additional condiment choices” screen, then back out and over to the Fries and Sides screen…
I hear them: “Where’s the McChicken, oh, I think it’s on the… Value Menu? Wait, don’t click that, unless you want two for three dollars…”
I often wonder, do they not see us boomers just walking in and leaving with food while they’re dinking around?
.
Hey, go in Thursday right when they open and maybe it’ll be two bucks…
NASDAQ shows Wendy’s stock rose $0.05/share - 0.028%
My speculation is that these people, despite being young, aren’t particularly tech-savvy. If you really want to save time, just order on the app first then come pick it up. It’s even faster than traditional ordering since the transaction has already occurred and presumably your food is waiting for you when you arrive.
They don’t start prepping your order until you check in at either the drive through or the counter or announce your arrival on the app (curbside)
Naturally, like XKCD, there’s a TVtrope for that.
I bet the app is at least as awkward to use as the lobby kiosk. Plus the tiny screen adds its own difficulties. So the total time expended is probably as great or greater with the app. What the app saves, is time at the store, since you already blew 4 minutes pecking at the app back at your desk or whatever.
Now if you often order the same thing and the app or the kiosk has a way to recogize you and has a favorites button for “@Atamasama’s usual lunch”, now that could get pretty quick.
I know the one time in my life I tried to use a McDs order kiosk (about a month ago in an empty lobby), it was a 5 minute ordeal to order an Egg McMuffin combo meal plus one extra Egg McMuffin. @digs was right; far quicker to talk to the human, assuming they are available to be talked to.
Quite possibly. I haven’t used the app though I’ve used apps for other restaurants (and ordered on web sites). Experiences definitely vary.
Yeah, who could have anticipated that a place that serves food would have to accommodate a couple of hours of extremely high demand that only happens at lunch and dinner.
This may not be as reprehensible as Wendy’s surge pricing, but Massachusetts Republicans are having to deal with a candidate who’s just slightly…out there.
It’s not about self-contol. It’s about him proving power over females. The weapon of choice, of course, is his member, but it’s not that he can’t control himself. He is controlling himself. The evil is in how he controls himself to prove that power.
The ordering kiosk at my local McDonald’s has a search function.
Another nifty service from my local Micky Dee’s is delivery. It takes about five minutes for the scooter driver to get to my apartment from the two closest franchises (one is 1 km west of my apartment; the other is 1 km east).
No Wendy’s surge pricing?
Here, at least, it’s location-based. If I order from home, it will generally be just getting finished as I walk in to pick it up. It’ll switch from a waiting order to an in-progress order once I get to within about one-eighth of a mile (if I’m set to pick up in the lobby).
This differs if set to pick up through the drive-through; that doesn’t start until I give my code at the speaker.
Like anything else, if you get used to it, it’s fast. When I was working in one job, I’d go to McDonalds once a week and since I always eat the same thing, it was much quicker than waiting in the line of people at the cashiers.
“Clarifying” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. “We didn’t realize this was gonna go viral” is more like it.
