Wendy's is an interesting case.  When they first came to town, they were
great.  You could get a good, fresh burger practically as quick as you
could walk through.  Then something happened (and this was before Dave
Thomas died) and they went to pot.  Then after Thomas, they got worse
and the last time I went, it seemed that the concept of providing food
to customers for cash was a novel concept to the staff..
