$5.35 after taxes. I just want answers on why it’s wrong and Wendy’s will never answer me 🥲

In your county. Taxes here (Sacramento, California) are 8.75%

Not that we'd begrudge a few pennies from a Wendy's purchase.

You don't get to keep your 4 for $4 marketing when you raise it to $5. It smacks of capitalism desperation.

Yeah I’d be fine if it were just the tax, but literally marketing something one way and charging a 25% markup is just false advertising. Either change the name of the deal or change the price.

Am I petty for making such a fuss about $1, hell yeah, but is it annoying that “value” meals from every major fast food chain are going up while keeping the same name/title, absolutely
