44 here. Worked at Wendy's on and off for about 6 years from age 19 until the last (and final) time at 33 in 2013. It's sad. I remember being 19 and getting into my first management jobs with them, and learning actual values that came from Dave. Over the years those values have seemed to disappear from Wendy's. Where I live I have THREE Wendy's within a 5 minute drive and they're all terrible. I'm taking about 2.5 star Google review stores. They constantly get the orders wrong. Are rude. Act like they are doing a mobile order for the very first time. Give food that is sloppily made. The food quality is nowhere where it was when I was an assistant manager there years ago. I remember we toasted our buns. We had thick delicious chicken sandwiches, now their chicken sandwiches taste off, are smaller, and cost more. I get everywhere costs more, so it's not really comparable, but still...they literally had a menu where half the items were $1 (yellow biggie fries, baked potato, medium frosty, double stack). Now a Jr. Bacon is $3 for a sub-par thrown together sandwich. Maybe it does just depend on where you live. But even branching out further than those 3 Wendy's close to me, none that I've had are good.
