Most of the Wendy's around here have closed. Bummer, because I really like their COBB salad. Fought the traffic to get to the nearest remaining Wendy's a few days ago, and made two discoveries. 1: the price of the salad has been reduced to where it was about four years ago. 2: the salad is smaller than it used to be, and the ingredients have been downgraded, particularly the romaine, which is mostly stem now, instead of leaf.
Wendy's isn't the only one.
