      They will still do it as planned. They were morons for bragging about it. Papa john’s already let’s you pay like $2 or $3 during peak to have your delivery bumped to the top of the list. But they sold that as a feature Wendy’s isn’t offering you anything but the chance to get fucked over.

      Maybe they also looked at how much it would cost to update every Wendy’s with digital signage when they barely have enough money to staff the stores.
