Wendy's: Those Sneaky Bastards...
Created and posted for your consideration by Matthew Glenn at 10:44 AMBeing 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!
