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.
Eh, I don’t like interacting with people, so I’ll take any chance to minimize it, if not eliminate it entirely. So I use the app to specify how I want my burger (and my kids’). I’d rather do curbside, but if that isn’t an option, just giving a name or code at the intercom is better than having to repeat things 3 times and/or wonder if they heard me when they don’t say anything…
