    there’s a lesson that I learned in college that I still follow today: never eat lunch at lunchtime. unless I’m traveling I’m not eating at peak periods anyway so I really wouldn’t be affected by this pricing change.

    I still don’t like it though. unless that wendy’s is the only game in town (literally) this isn’t going to be good for business.

      What do you mean when you say you “learned” to not eat lunch at lunchtime? We’re you punished?
