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?

There’s a sketchy af gas station near me where they have a $0.899 advertised “gas price” sign. Only instead of “regular” or premium gasoline that it’s advertising on the sign, it instead says “fountain” for fountain drinks, despite those signs universally displaying gasoline prices instead.

I boycott places like that. Even if it’s two prices for cash/credit, no and fuck you. You just lost a customer forever. Considering my fuel tank is 55 gallons that’s actually significant.
Auxiliary fuel tank? That’s 25% larger than the biggest passenger vehicle I’ve driven.

I full time in a 30ft RV.

Also, if I’m stopping for gas I’m usually coming in to buy some other stuff too. Or I could go down the street and spend my money there.
