> Do you think Wendy's is going to pass the savings along to consumers?
I picked up a watermelon from my local farmer's market this weekend. It was about the size of a bowling ball and was $6. I went to Kroger and found watermelons 3x the size, shipped from across the planet, for $5. "Normal" operations are quickly becoming luxuries. Seriously, there's no reason for me to ever buy from a local farmer except to make myself feel wealthy.
Likewise...
It's going to be more like a survival mechanism or a "staying relevant" rather than a "hey suddenly I can sell you a burger for $0.82."
