Wendy’s. Their new CEO admitted he was taking shortcuts with the food quality to save money and you can tell.

First they changed the chicken patty from a whole white breast in that orange spicy crispy coating to the flat processed chicken patty, then they changed the grade and thickness of the tomato, and now the lettuce….. it was such a good sandwich.
I don’t eat fast food often but when I had a bad day I’d get a spicy chicken, a jr bacon, a loaded baked potato, and a frosty to put me into a food coma for the rest of the day

Yep. People always mention just the lettuce, but the biggest thing I noticed was the chicken going to shit.
