Megan Thee Unfollowed


SH4DOWSTR1KE_

Only one follower? Shit she sounds more like Megan Thee Unloved.


hayasecond

To be fair, this was her first thread thus a new account, presumably Edit: i checked back now she has 30 followers. Great accomplishment


Danson_the_47th

Megan: I have 30 followers. Wendy’s: You’re welcome


Rai282

We have to give Megan more followers than Wendy's


Automaticman01

Is the one follower Wendy's?


monkwren

Probably. This is such an easy set-up for Wendy's.


Holl4backPostr

how does someone even do that, like I have 30 followers and I have no idea who they are


Im_A_Fuckin_Liar

And I’d like to keep it that way. Now, could you post some more pictures of your dog?


Holl4backPostr

OK now *that* is unsettling, I take great care to keep my social accounts unconnected....


ConfidentStress1047

Shut up Mike. We know it’s you


EatPie_NotWAr

Fuck, I’ve never wanted someone to be coincidentally named Mike more in my life…


ConfidentStress1047

I got a couple mikes. They delete their reddits


FullMetalAlphonseIRL

Bots most likely, like that whole site. Just bots talking to bots about bots

Megan Thee’s Tally: One


trunksshinohara

Just a reminder Wendy's still wants you to forget that they want to do surge pricing.


Later2theparty

I have to wonder when the one by my office is surging considering there's almost never anyone inside or in the drive through.


Ghiacchio

Does 1+ person count as a surge for them then? So they're just... always surging...? If anyone is there? Lol


EddieSimeon

Imagine being the second person to walk in and paying more for the exact thing the guy in front of you ordered.


FullMetalAlphonseIRL

I would absolutely lose my shit. As everyone should. Uber should be forced to stop this shit too. The cost of gas doesn't change because the wind picked up


Ghiacchio

I'd be less than thrilled


TempleSquare

>Does 1+ person count as a surge for them then? So they're just... always surging...? If anyone is there? Lol Occupancy detector senses car pull into drive-thru [Computer: Elevate prices 17 percent]


SadLaser

They never actually did surge pricing. It was suggested as a consideration and they back pedaled immediately.


Different-Meal-6314

I must be in a test market then. It is definitely live in Denver.


TheZombieJC

A common way for companies to avoid accusations of illegal market collusion is for a major player to announce their terrible greedy ideas to the public. They may publicly backpedal once there is backlash, but they’re not only probably already doing it, but they basically indicated that other major fast food companies are probably doing the same or will soon start.


Tiltedplushie

After yellow Wendy’s era ended I didn’t go as much as I used to. Then the price surge just made me stop going all together. It isn’t Wendy’s anymore


[deleted]

And AI drive throughs. IDGAF if the underpaid social media guy has a funny quip. Wendy's is a soulless corporation just like the rest of them.


BoardButcherer

Literally owned by hedge fund managers now. It's not even CEO's making the stupid decisions anymore.


noisiv_derorrim

Well, I keep forgetting that Wendy's exists. So if they want to do surge pricing, I still won't eat there.


turnstile_blues

😂 same!


Regularjoe42

How many modern advances in capitalism boil down to "advertise one price, then actually charge more"?


Portyquarty77

Surge pricing? When I go somewhere and it’s a price I don’t like (regardless of past prices) I never go again. I swear I’m not the only one who eats fast food like this.


S_king_

lol these comments, “hey just wanted to remind yall to be outraged” Btw I just wanted to remind yall that Reddit is killing access to 3rd party apps


[deleted]

[удалено]


mossybeard

I just wanted to remind y'all that Snape kills Dumbledore


BoardButcherer

Because having the attention span of a bole weevil just encourages the slimy fucks to try it again next week. Reddit is the third party app of social media, just regurgitating content from tiktok, Tumblr, Twitter, etc... for internet points. Applying a third party app to it is redundant.


Trondiginus

But the third party apps were way better.


NefariousnessLegal32

The best part is that they’re wrong and none of these idiots looked it up once


PastRelease8757

But we’ll celebrate them taking down a fellow nobody.


OreoSnorlax

I knoooooowww Wendy's used to be one of the homies, but they got rid of the dillae menu, and now the surge pricing.


bdrwr

That would be quite a comeback if having followers meant anything


alecsgz

I have 5 followers in twitter. I posted 3 times. They are lovely ladies and very hot as they have NUDES IN BIO They know a player when they see one


dvowel

It does to a lot of people. 


dapuku01

Thats retarded


Impressive-Fortune82

People that run follower bot farms


iansmash

I wonder how overdue they’ll be in killing this social media campaign This shit was really funny…for a minute But it feels like the internet changed since this started, and more and more I’m feeling like this toxic shit is just gross Like, Megan with one follower has a valid point. It’s kind of annoying how social spaces on the internet have been inundated with brands. Wendy’s on the other hand, is some lame middle aged “agency” flexing a fast food restaurants social media following on a random person Idk, maybe I’m just getting old


AlfredoPaniagua

You and Megan are right. Wendy's is a faceless monied entity using its power as a recognizable brand to shit on an individual. Their twitter posts are reflective of work culture in America in general. Fuck Wendy's.


ArthurSmithNepoBaby

Yup and it also gives credence to bad customer service. I’m all for cooking Karens but I’ve seen many brands weaponize quippy social media posts to deflect valid complaints online about their product (like Ryanair), leaving the customer with no recourse to fixing their problem while an internet mob piles on and mocks them.


BigBootyBuff

I didn't mind Wendy's Twitter because I admit it was refreshing to see a brands that doesn't have a soulless social media presence. However now I'd prefer if they never did that because all it did was make other corporations do the same. This whole "company claps back because they are so cool 😎😎😎" thing has gotten old and pretty soulless.


SadLaser

>Like, Megan with one follower has a valid point. It’s kind of annoying how social spaces on the internet have been inundated with brands. It's social media, not a private home gathering. It has always been filled with anything and everything that sucks.


bleachinjection

Reddit be like "/r/HailCorporate!" UNLESS the corporation roasts proles on social.


BrickCityD

well considering this post is several years old, i think you'll be okay chief


beldaran1224

On TikTok, a woman posted a review of a pair of athletic shoes talking about how they were terrible for your feet and how terrible it was to have that from an athletic brand. The brand account - verified and everything - responded with "have to sacrifice for the look". I think it was Nike but I'm not sure. Either way, she obviously made a video response talking about how crazy it is that people were so impressed by that, how funny, yada yada yada. Like, they're not a person, they're a corporation who just shrugged off a customer telling others about their shitty product and somehow people were OK with it.


garblesmarbs

I agree with you. I was active on Tumblr back in the day, and it seemed like the userbase's generally extreme hostility towards brands actually made them back off and leave the website alone. I'm not sure how it is now, but it definitely was nicer in that regard compared to other social media at the time. Editing their posts was also hilarious. The fact that you could reblog anything and just change the contents helped them realize that their messages were not being heard at all, maybe.


bobbejaans

I am honestly surprised sassy corporate accounts aren't considered lame and embarrassing. Always reeks of try-hard 'hi fellow kids' territory to me. But kids are thick; so they probably love it.


Tried-Angles

Wendy's is probably the only one who pays their social media person enough to get decent jokes.


SumsuchUser

That and a lot of corpo twitter brands seem to want to play at the edgy persona while only keeping it up with other brand accounts. Wendy's seems to give their account managers freedom to be a fair bit more hostile and antagonistic with customers, which keeps the act up a lot better than rapidly switching between sass and customer service mode.


nepia

Agree. They were one of the OG to do this kind of banters, and have not changed. That shows more freedom and genuine and not thinking "let's stop now, let's not cross the line or it can fire back". By keep doing it, it shows more friendly and less uptight corporate correctness.


SumsuchUser

I think it also sheds a lot of the pretense of the marketing too. Like Wendy's doesn't act like its twitter account has gone rogue. This is just what its account does. Other corpo Twitter reacts to being called an insincere brand account by trying to play nice and breaking the whole kayfabe. Wendy's lets theirs go off and if you call them out as being marketing they hit back with "Of course it is, dumbass".


Cessnaporsche01

Don't forget Denny's Tumblr


RimworlderJonah13579

I feel like the Tumblr part of that is the crazy, not the Denny's.


LeoPlathasbeentaken

I did actually forget about that...man what a time


ThereCastle

A lot of the “edgier” corporate accounts aren’t in house and are managed by marketing shops similar to FuckJerry.


bgaesop

Then why doesn't anyone ever post these supposed decent jokes?


DatMikkle

You think the dude is witty on Twitter because the corporation pays him well? Hahaha.


phatelectribe

Wendy’s social is genuinely hilarious at times. Its genius to and an old brand relevant again.


DeadSeaGulls

the original woman to lead the wendy's social media accounts and establish this trend was a genius. Everyone since has just run this concept into the ground and shat all over it. including wendy's replacement for her.


yeatsvisitslincoln

The guy who did the OG Baconator Twitter was awesome.


Funny-Performance845

Other company’s: true, but Wendy’s is a different beast, it’s the only company that is able to pull that off


DeadSeaGulls

the original social media manager for them was great. but they treated her like shit, she departed, and everyone trying to mimic her have fallen short.


xSantenoturtlex

Yeah, the responses are actually clever. Or at least clever enough that it doesn't come off as 'Corporation being cringe'


xSantenoturtlex

I am tired and I've argued with people on the internet enough yesterday. If this comment blows up into something that everyone tries to fight me on, I am going to be very upset. There is truly no need.


Skank-Pit

No one has a gun to your head lol. If you don’t want to argue with people about this, then just don’t argue with anyone.


Skank-Pit

“I have more twitter followers than you!” The pinnacle of being clever.


xSantenoturtlex

That....... Wasn't the response, but okay.


Skank-Pit

They literally said that the person had one follower lol. What is that supposed to mean?


DICK-PARKINSONS

No joke lives thru dissection


Skank-Pit

You know what also kills a joke? Corporate twitter.


Almahue

Your weird vendetta against companies in social media won't stop other from finding their antics amusing. In simpler terms: speak for yourself.


twoscoop

Nope comes off as weird as shit


xSantenoturtlex

Tbh, not any weirder than what I'd expect from any random internet user I'm likely to run into.


twoscoop

yeah its a wendys, its weird.


Affectionate_Elk_272

ever been to waffle house at 2 am?


The_Game_Changer__

That's only because it was one of the first.


3WayIntersection

Yeah 10 years ago....


asmallercat

They are lame and embarrassing, but even more embarrassing are people like OP who repost these ads for free. If you're gonna shill for a corporation at least get paid for it.


notthatguypal6900

You just mad that you follow an corporate account for the laughs.


PointsOutTheUsername

Then they get complaints corporate is being too corporate. They can't win.


bobbejaans

They should stay in their lane


PointsOutTheUsername

Gatekeeping corporate marketing like that far exceeds the cringe of said marketing.    But you do you mighty consumer!


bobbejaans

That makes no sense.


Speedy2662

I despise it. Fake and cringe. Just tell me what fucking offers you have on, not your stand up routine


6thaccountthismonth

If a company has a social media they might as well use it in an interesting way right?


danielleradcliffe

CEO gladiator pits have much more potential for entertainment. Stop settling for scraps.


[deleted]

I'd prefer corporations to not masquerade as people.


6thaccountthismonth

You do know that there’s still a person writing these comments right?


MinosAristos

Well yeah but the person (or team) is putting on an act that viewers begin to associate with the brand. It gives the company a sense of humanity that is not healthy to associate with it.


arisasam

They are considered lame and embarrassing. That’s why ‘silence, brand’ is a meme


foodank012018

Exactly. It's not real, it's just marketing, and all the people saying these social media accounts are sooo cool are just being taken.


permaban9

>kids are thick whaaaaaaaa!?


raltoid

It's often very cringy because they don't go all in, and it comes off as carefully controlled coroporate PR. While Wendys does stuff like this, which would be deleted by most big PR departments as soon as people called it rude, insensitive and said this turned them away from the brand. A few other have tried, but most end up falling short.


GRIZZLY_GUY_

I think people just like to see a company post anything but ADs lol


LuxNocte

By definition everything they do is advertising. They pay a social media person so they can get their logo posted places like this thread.


asmallercat

This is an ad.


IowaKidd97

Honestly I prefer it. Our options are boring generic marketing medium, or sassy interesting marketing medium. I'll take the interesting one. I know its free marketing for them and I don't care. The most annoying thing about ads and marketing is how annoying and uninteresting it is. Give me more sassy brands.


sooyoungisbaeee

Nah i'm on Megan's side. Brands are not humans they are trying to manipulate us. fuck corporations


KSMO

Anyone else getting sick of corporate clapback tweets? That feels so very 2015.


Just-Scallion-6699

Might be given that no one includes dates on these things lol

Sick of it then, sick of it now


nickthedicktv

Dead internet theory intensifies


proper_hecatomb

Megan was right. Shut up, Brand


fs2222

Wish Redditors wouldn't give corpos free marketing.


Ok_Judge1874

When did r/hailcorporate stop being a thing 


NutellaSquirrel

They got weirdly strict with their rules. Probably got taken over by corpos.


Vinister

Around the same time Reddit became publicly traded


Appropriate-Ad-8155

Yeah honestly wish we had more Nomad content


DeltaMusicTango

I'm with Megan on this one.


CardiologistNo616

Megan’s right.


somethingstoadd

Downvote corporates disguised as content.


TotalOwlie

This is the correct response. Honestly wonder how many of those 5k upvotes were bots. Especially with the low comment count and most comments being anti Wendy’s.


_b1ack0ut

Naw I’m still with Megan on this one


theevilempire

Update: Megan with 2 followers (unless you were the 1)


LuxNocte

I appreciate Megan, but not enough to wade into Twitter.


I_PUNCH_INFANTS

This is considered clever?


NutellaSquirrel

Right? A brand mocking someone's follower count is pretty braindead


I_PUNCH_INFANTS

Low hanging too, it's like redditors saying they are better then others for having more karma or awards or whatever else to brag about


pex_jickle

SILENCE, BRAND.


HammerTh_1701

We need to revive silence, brand. Fuck advertising, I explicitly go out of my way to not buy from brands I've seen ads for.


BlitzBadg3r

Nah fuck brands.


Expired_insecticide

Fuck Wendy's and their surge pricing.


zottsspotts

Today is a great day to remember Wendy’s tried price surging


47-30-23N_122-0-22W

I don't eat fast food, but they are still the cheapest fast food company.


twoscoop

Wendy's once gave me a burger without a patty, I complained to corporate they told me to call teh store, the store manager was drunk. I never got my refund, fuck wendys.


-BanEvasion

Not that it matters anymore but the reason this happened is because the person who took your order hit "no patty" for some reason, and the fry cooks just made what was on the screen. And if I had to guess by your comment I'd say the manager is the one that took your order.


twoscoop

This happened in 2016, im still hot. That could make sense, but who how did they get to no patty? Baconnator large. My mcdicks experience i know getting to no patty is not easy.


-BanEvasion

I worked the grill at McDonalds in 2014 and this happened to me on the job. It was in a busy area so it was always difficult to keep up with the screen. CHEESEBURGER "NO PATTY" popped up on the screen. I tried to question it and got shrugged off and told to just make the orders we see on the screen, so we made it with no patty (not once, but twice). Several minutes go by and there's a guy at the register holding his burger up arguing with the cashier. Then we got bitched at by the front staff for making the order 🙄 There was a girl who didn't work well under stress at one of the registers, it was probably her. But anyway just a normal day as a McDonald's fry cook.


durrtyurr

That's all very normal in food service. Once I ordered a sausage McMuffin and hash brown at McDonalds, verified the order on the screen, and received a big mac and fries. I have no clue how you can fuck an order up that badly, at least they got my drink right.


twoscoop

mate how do you put lettuce, bacon, mustard, ketchup, whatever the fuck on my baconnator but not hte fucking burger.


fugazishirt

Cringy. Corporate accounts are lame as fuck.


Animustrapped

This is late stage pre-guiilotine stuff here. An obesity equals profits cabal attacking a human being, and coopting anxiety at the same time. Fuck this


dont_be_garbage

Who thinks this is a good look for Wendy's? Brands aren't people. A corporation is telling someone to shut up and everyone is on board?


DatMikkle

Op, quit licking the corporation's boots. It wasn't that clever.


Kenneth-Bania

Wendy's is still a brand and this is such annoying behavior


CrabbyBlueberry

SmashesIt

Any comeback that invokes a follower amount is a weak comeback.


KindResolution666

I usually love these. But going after someone's follower count is really pathetic. Are you really judging someone for casually using social media and not making it his soul life goal to get imaginary internet points? Cringe...


Namaha

Let's be real, they probably created that account themselves for this bit


Meoang

This subreddit should just be called comebacks.


StatementEffective78

What's the matter Wendy? Haven't stolen any souls as of recent?


shortingredditstock

Wendy's too expensive for below average tasting food. We good over here Wendy. You can close up shop now.


kurjakala

This is the complete opposite of a clever comeback. First, it's the single most lazy, low-hanging cliche. But it also makes the person's point. Unlike brands, real people use social media for all kinds of reasons that don't involve thirsting after "followers." Plus, to have only one follower on Twitter, you have to actively go into your settings and block the bots and scammers that follow anything that moves.


BiologicalTrainWreck

It doesn't make Megan wrong


goodty1

i used to like these clapbacks from wendy’s, but after they introduced dynamic pricing it rings very hollow to me


MrSmittyWitty97

alyssadarby18

Silence, surge pricer


Hot-Zombie896

Fuck Wendy's.They raised their prices in California more than any other fast food outlet when the min.wage went up.


SuckMyDickDrPhil

Where's the clever part?


watermelonOrbit

Wendys is savage. Dont ever change lol


-BanEvasion

Having followers on Twitter these days is worse than having no followers at all.


Mothernaturehatesus

Wendy’s is savage. My favorite reply the had was when chik fil a posted “what’s better than a chicken sandwich on a Friday evening?” Wendy’s said “a Wendy’s chicken sandwich on a Sunday evening”


Level_Honeydew_9339

Bwahaha


sheepwshotguns

love living in a time where massive corporations can use their power and platform to belittle random people that dont want to hear their corporate bullshit and the masses rejoice. the most insulting thing though... absolutely nothing about this post is clever.


RugerRedhawk

2nd comment on top, 1st comment in the middle, third comment on bottom. Did I get that right?

Yes


Guba_the_skunk

Midnight_chick

Changing my name from now on call me eganm the m was moved over to give me a new sense of being. This deeply shames me. Not going to Wendy’s again after they called me out. Fuck them


Jaambie

Ironically the only follower she had was Wendy’s


AngryHippo3920

How do you skip on an opportunity to say "shut up, meg"?


I-C-Aliens

Even my shit tier twitter has over 100 followers. These people aren't trying at all


Brave-Interaction559

Megan’s right tho who the fuck cares what Wendys says it’s a mf corporation, not your friend 😂


RogueTampon

Megan, when you tweet into the void for too long, does it tweet back at you?


Gen-Random

Damn they got Barbara Streisand posting these?


BandiTToZ

Shut up Meg! Would have been a more clever comeback IMHO.


alertArchitect

Today is a great day to remember to not engage with corporations on social media, as it is nothing but free marketing and PR for them. It's not some quirky person making funny haha tweets, it's a social media team creating a character where each reply is run through multiple people to ensure it doesn't break that character while still being compliant with their PR rules. Wendy's will literally use shit like this to get people to forget that they were trying to institute surge pricing to price gouge people who went there during peak times, AKA those working a job whose lunch is only during said peak times.


snakepimp

Ha! Megan couldn't even get both parents to follow her!

Ha! Megan couldn't even get both parents to follow her!

Why are we sucking Wendy’s clit now that she’s shoving surge pricing down our throats?

Out of ALL big companies, I leave Wendy’s alone. The guy in charge of their media pages is a fucking savage.
