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.

Just like Adobe switching to a subscription model and the entire world following suit I assume that will happen with this pricing system, until no one knows what anything costs anymore.

But in the meantime:

They're mustelids, related to weasels, stoats, otters and so on. There's a bunch of species of marten but the european pine marten is what you'll find in Scotland.

Adobe did that because of all the piracy.

So I think what he's saying is we should all pirate Wendy's.

Drivers for DoorDash and UberEats and whatnot won't exactly have that option, plus I don't think those services will be able to support surge pricing the way Wendy's wants, so it's really just prioritizing delivery services over customers actually showing up for food.

Nice to see tech companies have found another way to rebrand an old concept. Price gouging is just "dynamic pricing"

Of course. I'm betting they floated the idea to some outlets so that everyone on Twitter would get mad, they'd backtrack, and then in a few months when they actually do it, all the interest in being outraged will be gone.

Uh huh, yeah there definitely won't be any outrage when customers see this happening irl if they roll it out. It's totally the tweets that get people mad about it.

I've thought about this. The best way to do an Autism Reality Experience is to have people walk into what looks like a completely normal social environment, but what they're supposed to be doing is both completely different from what they expect, and never explained.
