Burger chain Wendy's looking to test surge pricing at restaurants as early as next year (cw: meat)

This smells like some suit's stupid idea where everyone was afraid to tell them it was a stupid idea and they got carried away.

I have no doubt in my mind that this will quickly disappear as soon as a location accidentally sells 1¢ cheeseburgers for an entire day due to something glitching out in the system.

No way that works for a fastfood restaurant that's very frequently going to be placed near other restaurants. I'm just gunna' drive to another drive-thru restaurant dude. I'm not paying your fucking prices. Unless they all do it, I guess.

I hate digital menus so fucking much. They're always jumping around and cycling through so you can't read the menu, and half the time they're just showing ads for the place you're already at! Also fuck qr code menus, never eating at a place that uses those.

Also they keep saying that prices will raise and lower depending on demand, but there's no way in hell prices will actually drop compared to the current baseline right?
