I’ve already stopped going to Wendy’s; I’d love to add you to the list of places never to patron again.

You can just assume it is every US company because it is.
This stuff doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
CEOs talk to each other about this kind of shit and plan together.
Just like how “AI” has been shoved into fucking everything by everyone even though it is useless and makes a lot of people upset.
Expect all of them to do it so you don’t have a choice and they all did it to “stay competitive with each other.”

They actually use consultants like McKinley, who are the coordinating force behind a lot of the obviously self-destructive decisions companies are making in lockstep

I have no actual list outside my head.
atm, Wendy’s because of their plan for dynamic pricing based on how busy they are, and ‘my local KFC’, because I had to wait 50 minutes for my order (for 2), and they gave away the last of something I ordered to someone who came in like half an hour later, and they weren’t going to be making more. (that and KFC is way over priced for their standard menu if you aren’t getting some kind of ‘deal’)
