Do you complain when your have to pay an extra $1.00 to add a piece of cheese on a sausage biscuit?


Totally different.

That's an extra ingredient added to an established food item.

Nuggets already come with sauce, and I'll be damned if I let the Hitler of Wendy's determine how much sauce I like per nugget.

As I see you are trying to use logic a 10 piece is equal to a 4 (piece) + 6 (piece) = 10 (piece) which gets two sauces.


I would counter with 2 sauces for 10 piece is also inadequate.

ETA: They fricked up their own program with 4, 6 or 10 piece nuggets.

Just do 4, 8 or 12 piece and give 1 sauce for every 4 nuggets since the 1 sauce per 4 nuggets is a perfect ratio.

yes, a cost that is built into the price of the meal. this is longstanding.


That doesn’t make sense… fast food preparation mostly automated when it comes to dispensing condiments like mayo and mustard… the amount that’s dispensed is the cost built into particular product… you don’t think R&D departments have figured this out???… anything else is extra…

I counter again with, "How many sauces do you get if you order a 10 piece?"

She says, "two".

So I wrap up my closing argument with, "So 4 piece gets 1 sauce, a 10 piece gets 2 sauces, but a 6 piece, which you acknowledge has more nuggets that a 4 piece, gets the same amount of sauce?"

She confirmed.

You might wanna do the math on 6+4 again to see why a 6 piece and a 4 piece got 2 sauces and a 10 piece gets 2 sauces.

bullshite. Wendy's, McDonalds, BK, CFA - all of these restaurants for as long as I can remember have given virtually unlimited condiments to go along with nuggets. you're telling me that now suddenly Wendy's has an entirely new business model in which condiment disbursement is highly regulated and severely limited? no way.

That reminds me of the weirdest conversation I've had with a drive-thru worker.

In the early '00s jack in the box finally made its way here and I was regularly ordering the potato wedges. After about a year I had gone to get my usual and after receiving my wedges I noticed that I didn't have sour cream so I asked for some. I don't remember how much she said but I distinctly remember her saying "Jack decided to start charging extra for sour cream." It took me a second because I was hit with a visual of this woman talking to a guy with a ping pong ball for a head before starting her shift.

She was fully committed and it threw me so much I thought I was having an acid flashback.

Just because the math kind of works, doesn't make it right.

But lets entertain this idea.

1 sauce is for 5 nuggets by your math, correct?

Okay, then why do I only get 1 sauce for 6 nuggets when a 1 to 5 ratio is their rule of thumb?

that's possible, didn't they change hands not too long ago? I notice several have closed down around here, in areas where other fast food chains are doing well? WhataBurger sold out years ago and they have gone downhill as a result
