Current Events > With the impending 'dynamic' pricing, are you forsaking Wendy's?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You bet your ass ill be getting some of those 3pm discounted burgers

'Dynamic pricing' in most cases is just 'how can we milk more money out of the consumer' so nah, I am against it in almost every situation.

Taco Bell used to have a Happy Hour type of pricing which was fine. I'm not opposed to it but I rarely eat at Wendy's to begin with

Wonder how this will affect services like DoorDash/UberEats.

I assume they won't ever lower the price from the higher costs so a lot of people won't notice.

As the above poster said, if it's like happy hour pricing from Arby's, Taco Bell, etc., I'd probably be more inclined to eat there. I'm surprised more restaurants don't to it. "Half off drinks from 2-5" or whatever.

Yup, I'm forsaking them and so should you. If Wendy's does this successfully, all other chains will follow. It needs to be stopped now.

No. If it actually affects prices to the point I notice it, I'll just find when stuff is cheaper and order then.

It's already something that impacts some of my delivery services; certain hours of the day incur less of a fee. I don't see this sort of thing as significantly different.

I haven't eaten at Wendy's in years

those discounted prices will be what the current prices are now.

It's only "Happy Hour" pricing which is something a lot of non fast food places do (and Taco Bell as already mentioned). When it's not "Happy Hour" the prices would be the normal prices. The difference here is that their new digital signs would allow the signage to reflect that pricing rather than having to guess what the price is and which items are included. That would actually be a good thing if other places did that too because then you wouldn't always have to rely on the app to get food cheaper.

As to the question, I've already forsaken Wendy's for a couple years now because my local franchise is so poorly run now that you could go to a sit down restaurant and get your food faster. You either have to sit in a drive thru line for 30 minutes or if you actually go inside you stand around for 45 minutes because the staff is too busy with drive thru orders and there's nobody to focus on dine-in/take-out orders or even on the register. It's not the staff's fault, but the owner for allowing it to happen and not paying better.

I'll never eat there again.

Same with any other food place that tries this.
