I was informed the fish sandwich did not sell well over the Winter, and it was a corporate decision to remove it from the Wendy’s menu. What boggles my mind is that right now is the season of Lent, the season of fish on Fridays<\/a>, the one time of the year when Wendy’s should<\/i> be offering a fish sandwich! In fact, McDonald’s created the first fish sandwich just so they could attract Catholics during Lent. I know Wendy’s offers special sandwiches every month or so, so why would it be so difficult to add the fish sandwich right now, between late February and mid-April?
    I have to admit I feel rather insulted by this, by the fact Wendy’s is apparently not interested in my business this Spring. Don’t they own a calendar? Why would they want to turn me and 60 million other Catholics away every Friday? How could they be so insensitive? Why doesn’t their website<\/a> have an e-mail address? And, lastly, ?!<\/b>   [3\/5\/04 3:52 PM]<\/b>
    Update<\/b>: I spoke this afternoon with a woman from Wendy’s corporate office. She assured me Wendy’s is indeed selling a fish sandwich during Lent. She confirmed it is selling in Ohio restaurants (where the corporate office is) but has no idea why the item is not being sold in my area, adding she’d heard from ten other Michigan customers a similar complaint. It is somewhat understandable if a franchise outlet does not sell the item, but even restaurants owned by Wendy’s are reportedly not selling the fish sandwich in Michigan, and she has no explanation why. She promised to look into the situation and get back with me.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
