    Lmaoooo They skimping already before the quarterly report.

  3. Had to pay for all the astroturfed Reddit posts somehow.

    I’ll keep an eye on my location. This is just restaurants in general. I try to eat at new places I like a lot in the first year because this always happens in capitalism.

    I’d be surprised if things have already actually changed as a result of the buyout. The deal just got finalized this month.

    New parent company cutting corners to save money. RIP Dave’s.

    They have always varied in size. Just a few weeks ago I got one of the smallest tenders I’ve got from them. Went again the other day and got one of the largest tenders I’ve ever seen them give out.

    Portions are small, and HOLY COW it’s SO overpriced.

    No fuckin way that buyout is a direct result of this small piece of chicken. That turn around is way too fast. It takes months for upper level management to even decide who all should be at those meetings, let alone implement new factory protocols.

    Did they change their nutrition information? Bet they didn’t. Should be able to sue for that

    No, they’ve always been inconsistent with portion sizes. Roark Capital also hasn’t started fucking with the stores yet. The sale just happaned. I know a guy who works at one, and as of yet, nothing has changed.

    I watched a bunch of youtube videos showing these huge tenders and when I finally went for the first time the other day they were tiny. Very disappointed!

    I literally got this last week and the chicken was 3x the size of the bun.

    Here’s hoping you didn’t get lucky.

    For fucks sake, the buyout just happened. Not enough time has passed for them to even make a fucking decision to change anything.

    Got Dave’s today and was easily the largest portion size I’ve ever had from them. 🤷‍♂️

    becaus 99 percent of people do not eat them they are realizing to pick the ‘small size wings’ for this challenge and give the big ones to everyone else

    Still too soon to see the effects of the buyout, I went to one today and they hooked it up. Ordered 2 tenders with slaw and got 2 small-ish tenders and a 3rd that was a behemoth. Pretty new location though so maybe that has something to do with it. Extra hot it was very good

  18. Here we go with this BS. It’s likely not the buyout. Dave’s has always varied in size. Much like every other place..

    I also doubt anything would go in effect this quick.

    I went there today, they were bigger than normal! Maybe you just got a bad batch

    This happened to me before the buyout as well, it’s somewhat random even at the same location. Went later and got a massive piece. They haven’t made any changes yet.
