Wendy’s planning Uber-style ‘surge pricing’ where burger prices fluctuate based on demand - Lemmy.World

everything in the world is getting worse in the stupidest way possible for the worst reasons!!! will employee wages be dynamic based on demand! of course not!

Does this mean Wendy’s restaurants should have a lighted sign at the road that changes like gasoline prices showing the current price of a burger?
Nah. You’ll just be expected to flip through all the different fast food apps and check prices on your phone while you drive around the travel plaza. Good luck, pedestrians.
I don’t get the point of ordering by app if you have to go through the drive-through line anyway. I mean I know why they want you to do it, but I don’t understand why anyone would.

I don’t “app” at all and have turned around and left multiple restaurants when asked to scan a QR code for a menu.

I’m 100% with the boomers on this.

Ugh. The kid was desperate to go to this restaurant called The Sugar Factory, which has insane milkshakes. The menu was a QR code and it linked to a pdf of the paper menu they no longer had that you just had to zoom in and scroll around on. It was like 4 pages long too.

Also, it was totally not worth going to. Overpriced and not good.

I don’t know what I was expecting with a name like The Sugar Factory but my blood pressure spiked looking at this picture.
I did not get one of those. I stuck with booze.
I’d drink alcohol too if I was here…
