Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury
The fast-food chain’s “dynamic pricing” idea was seized upon and mocked by furious Baconator lovers and rival companies alike.
Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

now that it’s over, and i know it’s different bc it’s not a starvation wage mega corp, but remember when a bar in michigan did exactly this? i remember reddit being so enamored with this
Seems fun as a novelty, and it happens at a specific stated time of day. Dynamic pricing by a fast food chain makes no sense, especially when the schedule isn't disclosed, except to scam unwitting customers out of their money.
I totally agree.
It's fun as a novelty. Not when it's an excuse for the business to gouge you even harder.
Oh man I've been there, great bar.
What part of having the greed of capitalism invade your fun time makes it great, exactly?
market pricing is simply a tool that can be misused haha. it has never been exclusive to capitalism and of itself has nothing to do with greed.
i understand that you have good intentions but please learn how to have fun before attacking people on the internet.
What bar isn't run by greedy shitbags?
I hate bar culture. Everyone who frequents bars complains about "needing" more money, then they spend it on $7 shots while the entire bottle is $11.
$4 beers (plus tip) when the entire case is $15.
Just another shining example of useful idiots being taken for a ride without even realizing it.
