      $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

    So, is it that number 4 is supposed to be $4 or that you order 4 number 4’s and only have to pay $4?

      Haha sorry if the title is confusing. The meal is supposed to be those specific 4 items that you pay $4. Guess it would read more correctly as “4 for $4” but I was dumb and said for $5 since their pricing is deceptive. (Sorry if you’re just making a joke and it whooshed over my head 😅)
