It gets even tougher when we run out of money. Luckily, local fast food joints are trying to make our lives better. Wendy&#8217;s, now located at 1707 E. Race Ave. next to Kroger, Burger King and Hardee&#8217;s have introduced special deals for only $4. Both Hardee&#8217;s and Wendy&#8217;s offer four items with their deals, while Burger King offers five. Which one should you pick? Refer to the graphic above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The only thing harder than deciding between those options is typing it out on an empty stomach. Which one rules supreme? Wendy&#8217;s, and here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Wendy&#8217;s deal tops Hardee&#8217;s because its burger has bacon while Hardee&#8217;s does not. If you don&#8217;t like bacon, you might as well eat at McDonald&#8217;s. Hardee&#8217;s offers a spicy chicken sandwich, and while it sounds appealing to receive two sandwiches, one small drink will only douse the flames for so long. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Wendy&#8217;s vs. Burger King was a tough matchup to decide. Wendy&#8217;s takes home the gold because its customer service edges out Burger King&#8217;s. I ate at the recently opened Wendy&#8217;s on Race Street, and it was heavenly. Managers walking from table to table asking how the food was, workers wishing customers to have a good day as they left \u2014 these are things BK does not currently offer. I believe the consistency of Wendy&#8217;s fresh food proves to be more reliable than Burger King and Hardee&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Now will the customer service at Wendy&#8217;s sustain this type of work? I doubt it. But with Wendy&#8217;s drawing in customers with its new building and improved service, I believe it is the best choice for your tightly-budgeted wallet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is tough as a college student.
