People not buying Wendy’s $1 March Madness deal
After a Reddit post was made about the March Madness deal, fans were displeased, writing: “Nice try, Wendy’s.”
“Nah they can all go straight to Hell. I don’t care what they offer on their menu for what price, I’ll never eat there again,” another wrote, clearly angry.
“Wendy’s is dead to me ever since they suggested price surging,” one stated dramatically.
Another comment predicted that Wendy’s might be in trouble in the near future, claiming: “Surge pricing at work in reverse, nobody will go there anymore and so they lower the prices temporarily to stimulate demand.”
McDonald’s also went viral in March, as reports indicated that more and more people were ditching their Big Macs for Taco Bell.
