Hyperlynx posted:Wait this is real? The bidding on burgers is real? That wasn't the other guy making a joke? Holy poo poo! No the burger arbitrage isn't real but they are talking about doing "surge pricing" for food. Although with all the pushback they're getting it might not happen. It's all because Wendy's is owned by investment firms and all they care about is getting as much money out as soon as possible and they don't care if it burns the company down. We're basically in the stage of capitalism where it is encouraged to kill the golden goose because you get the eggs and who cares about anyone else.

Surge pricing is so stupid. World of Warcraft famously illustrated the psychology of this sort of thing twenty years ago. Everyone hated the “fatigued” status that slowed XP gain after some hours of play. When Blizzard introduced a “well-rested” bonus to XP gain for the first however many hours, that went over much better, despite being in effect the exact same thing. Ea-nasir may well have been a savvier businessman than Wendy’s ownership.

What they need to do for variable pricing is introduce haggling rather than surge pricing. I'll go to Wendy's with my Persian friends and we'll dine like kings.

Even out here on the Canadian east coast where things are expensive as gently caress, wife and I could get a couple baconator combos for $25 and I think last time we went was $31 or something? Can we literally just eat the loving rich already?

Ichabod Sexbeast posted:Yeah this is written like a pitch to investors, not customers, those ghouls love this poo poo Yeah but they have been to a restaurant, right? Like they know what Wendy's IS right? People line up to order. If every third customer has a breakdown and berets the poor kid running the till until the manager comes over and very slowly explains the policy -- during the dinner rush -- sales will be in the toilet. Some customers will leave because they aren't paying a 50 cent premium. Some will leave because it's not fast food if the lines aren't moving. Some will leave because the drive through is backed up around the block and there's a mcdonalds on the next corner that won't have you waiting 20 minutes to order. You spend 3 minutes explaining to the old man why his burger costs 50 cents more today. During that 3 minutes no one else in the drive through line can order. Since there are no sales the computer drops the surge premium and the old man gets his burger at the regular price. 4 more cars get processed before the computer detects another surge, raises prices, and the pattern repeats.

Facebook Aunt posted:during the dinner rush -- sales will be in the toilet. That's the entire point. Someone from Wendy's explained it in the article I read: They want to crater sales during peak times - and offset it at least somewhat with the higher prices - so that they don't need to schedule additional employees during peak hours. Edit: it wasn't "someone from Wendy's" but speculation from an "industry expert" Theris has a new favorite as of 16:58 on Feb 28, 2024 |

You can do that by just . . . not scheduling extra employees. When the lines get too long people will go to other restaurants. Surge pricing does the same thing but also makes all your customers mad. Wendy's: the one that rips you off.

The thinking behind it is that enough people will continue to buy the product but at higher prices to make up for any lost sales. McDonald's has openly abandoned the "value" customer for the same reason. People are like "McDonald's, you're not the cheap go-to anymore!" and they go yeah, we know, and it's working out just fine for us.Facebook Aunt posted:If every third customer has a breakdown and berets the poor kid "Oh yeah?! Well, surge THIS" [slaps a beret down onto the teenager's head]
