Wendy's: Those Sneaky Bastards...

Being in a hurry and not paying attention can cause accidents, being in a hurry, not paying attention, and being hungry is dangerous.

Such was the case this afternoon as I left the house for a 12:30 appointment to get our Scion state inspected so I can renew the registration. On my way, my stomach growled and I realized I made the dumb choice of not eating before going to the car shop for the inspection. "With my luck" I thought, "this is going to take an hour". And I was right it turns out.

So, on the way to the shop I swung into Wendy's to grab a quick bite to eat while I waited for the car inspection. The Baconator caught my attention because the meal is so damn big that I wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day, great value at $6.19.
Except what I didn't pay attention to (because I was in a hurry, not paying attention, and hungry) was that it was $6.19 for the SMALL COMBO. When I asked for my combo meal, the woman slyly replied "Medium or Large sized?" Sneakily not giving me the SMALL COMBO Option I was looking at.

Now I understand I'm the retard for falling for the trick, I should have said "I'd like the Small" and recognized the trickery going on by upselling me to the Medium, but my brain wasn't working correct your Honor, and so I got sold a combo meal I could barely finish for .60 cents more.

Now you laugh at my cheap assed-ness but the economy sucks right now, money is tight, even if it was just $.60 if Wendy's does that 100x a day that's an extra $22,000 a year they're making just off of dumb asses like me!

So I say to Wendy's: YOU SNEAKY BASTARDS!

    I think the upshot of this is that they tricked you into getting something you didn't want. That is really dead wrong and they should be called out for it.

    THATS WHY IT COST ME OVER $15 TO FEED US YESTERDAY! Oh my goodness! I got two adult combos and two chicken nuggets off the "not so Dollar" menu and when I looked at the receipt my combo was over $6 for just a basic burger and fries!
