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!

What straight out of MBA school dipshit thought this up?
If the lower limit is close to continued operating costs then I’m all for it. Plus, we can cut down on the corporate dipshits on payroll who decide pricing if the prices automatically adjust to Supply Demand Equilibrium.
You should know that’s not how it’s going to work
Yeah this means “Our lowest prices will continue to increase normally to ensure the profit margin we currently have. We are then going to gouge customers when things get busy.”
Want to pay more and wait longer? Try Wendy’s new peak pricing.
Oh, wonderful! Just what I was looking for!
But if you preorder now
You’ll get not two, but one Wendy’s burger for the price of two!
