Wendy's is instituting a "Surge pricing"

[Anonymous]

I don't eat fast food often, but if I do, it's usually because we are in a rush or time crunch for some reason. If I have to now worry about surge pricing for the exact moment that my food crisis happens-I'd rather just get convience store nachos!

That's what a huge spike in minimum wage will do to food prices.

That’s not it at all. The problems with the supply chain have continued to reverberate- in some places there are still legit problems, and in others the vendors got used to the higher prices.

I don't eat at fast food places, but if I did, this would make me stop going.

And the franchise owners and up are still making millions.

But sure, it's because the workers are being paid more.

all I care about is if it’s too late for egg McMuffins when I think about getting an egg McMuffin.

So, costs across the board are high, but price increases are definitely not due to labor costs. You sure about that? Did you expect franchise owners to just absorb all the cost increases? Or just labor?

So if there are more than 4 in line the price goes up? Or prices are always higher at meal times?

These fast food restaurants are going to put themselves out of business with these prices and now this ridiculous surge pricing - charge even more at the busiest times like breakfast, lunch and dinner - LOL!

It would be one thing if they sold a very nice product, but half the time the fries are half cold and the burger is slapped together like a blind person was cooking. No bueno!

No need to make an irrelevant insult to blind people, who work jobs suited to their skills with appropriate accomodations for vision impairment.

I don’t eat fast food often, but consider Wendy’s to be bottom tier of the fast food options. This just solidifies it for me. I can’t imagine Chick Fil A pulling this crap.

Of course!
Wendy's management thought, "we love selling our food at prices below what customers are happy to pay, but now we just can't afford that. The evil government has undermined or charitable enterprise! It's a total coincidence these wage hikes happenes exactly when dynamic pricing technology became practical!"

Flip it. Make an app to receive live bids from fast food shops, and customer can pick the best offer.

I really wouldn't want the burger someone was wiling to sell me for the cheapest price. It would probably be yesterdays' burger or the one that fell on the floor.

Would you rather pay more for the same burger?

Chick-fil-A charges surge pricing all day every day except Sunday.
