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’ve found it helps with accuracy. Especially when ordering for a family of 5. Plus it’s nice to pass my phone around and have people input their orders, rather than trying to blurt it all out at a drive thru speaker.
