Gee! Could you mean Wendy's?I was referring to a commercial made famous by a little ol lady that said. "Where's the beef"?
If you remember the commercial you would know the rest of the story.

For me, work one day like a bat outta heck and then take the next day off. It works.I went about 6.5 hours with a pressure washer Saturday doing the house, concrete steps, and sidewalks. OUCH on Sunday!
1988 I was traveling up the interstate when I passed a woman on the side of the road with her hood up. At the time I believed thst that state police monitored channel 9 for emergency calls. They don't.I can remember PAY PHONES ON THE INTERSTATE..
Mom broke down once and sent ME walking until I found one.. she gave me A DIME to phone home to get DAD to come get us..
The pay phone didn’t work properly so I walked back to the car..
Mom gave me ANOTHER DIME and told me to “go back, call the operator and tell her what happened and it took your dime..”
I did.. and the operator connected the call.. Dad came and got us.. AND.. a few WEEKS LATER I got a letter addressed to me..pre-teen.. It was a letter from MaBell.. a check for 10 CENTS.!!!
This is what ended her stint at Wendy's.I was referring to a commercial made famous by a little ol lady that said. "Where's the beef"?

Remember this commercial from 50 years ago?
Some interstates, I recall the Mass. Pike being one of them, had these radio call boxes on the side of the road every few miles where you could summon help if you had a breakdown. Not sure when they disappeared, but I'm pretty sure it was before cellphones became common.I can remember PAY PHONES ON THE INTERSTATE..
No such thing as too much beef IMHO, though I do wish 5 Guys' buns were a little less flimsy. Haven't been in a Wendy's in ages, they don't really have much of a presence around here. Only one I know of offhand is in Newport, Vt, and it's awful.Back then she was looking for just one burger patty. At some places these days it is hard to find a burger with just one patty. Rather than "where's the beef?", today it is "there's too much beef!" as far as my tastes are concerned.
Probably the same ones who demanded $15 minimum wage are the ones complaining about the price hikes.And social media is outraged over price hikes, layoffs and automation as if fast food has margins to cover the added costs.
