Price of the patty going up: Wendy's plots new 'Uber surge-style' menu where prices jump up and down during the day in line with demand

[IIVI]

I can't see Dave Thomas being cool with this.

 

[Ski Mask]

Well im going in on a month of being a Vegetarian with no plans of stopping. So this isnt gonna hurt me at all.

Tho im glad i was able to try thr pretzel and nacho burgers before i made the change

 

[Blessings]

knee-jerk reaction is to say this shyt will not fly, and to short Wendy's stock around the time this goes public

I agree especially if other fast-food restaurants follow
However, there should be a mandate to display the base price

 

[the cac mamba]

It's not a new concept.

Isn't this how "happy hour" and the pretentious "dinner menu" work at established restaurants?


They just dressed the idea up with millennial lingo

happy hour is a discount, to try to get people to stop by after work

this is just some bullshyt

 

[the cac mamba]

It is, but those places have set hours for those type of things while this is literally stating that prices could change at any minute

surge pricing is because drivers are in short supply. no part of wendy's business model equates to changing prices because the drive thru is busier the customer is already waiting longer for food

4 for $4 going to be 4 for $8 at Noon in working class neighborhoods

That sh*t gone be $8 at 9/10 pm too. Them lines be long as hell during the late night.

 

[Gritsngravy]

these corporations ain’t going to stop till they bleed everybody dry

 

[verbalkint]

What about dynamic wages for the increased labor during high traffic?

If COL aint do it doubt this will...

 

[Patrick Kane]

Nah this is absolutely insane

What in the entire fukk

I hope Wendy’s goes out of business with this shyt

 

[NoMorePie]

Wait until McDonald's does this

 

[ItsPeople]

Unrestricted capitalism, you have to keep feeding the monster.

 

[ThaBoyBam]

Someone making good money came up with this shyt

 

[Da_Eggman]

welcome to hell take a seat

 

[Ski Mask]

Are the wages gonna fluctuate as well during the surge or is it just the business gonna keep that extra profit

 

[the cac mamba]

part of the appeal of fast food is knowing what the price is. how do they not know this
