I would quit on the spot if I were working at Wendy's right now but this is happening in America so I guess the employees are screwed and are just going to have to deal with a constant barrage of rage and abuse for under $15 an hour.

I give this adventure a week tops before they drop it and then spend the next 5 years going on an apology tour as their sales permanently drop below burger king

I worked for Ashley furniture a few years ago and their executives had an absolute hardon for surge pricing. They wanted to put electronic price tags on all their products and then have huge boards in the stores that would show price changes on items each day. They were convinced that it would drive a bunch of sales by making people feel like they got a deal while gouging them at other times. They kept comparing it to airlines and said they wanted that but more real-time and flasher. People who think of these thing are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather gouge the price to make 50% more on a single sale than sell 10% more every day. They just want the short-term juicing of the numbers to meet their goal for that day or week and then cannot comprehend why their business is in free fall. I have so many stores about how all the family members that run that place are complete sociopaths. Nothing made me hate the rich more than my short time there.

Only way this is gonna work out for wendys is if all the other major fastfood chains they compete with just do the same stupid poo poo. So I don't know seems like it might actually work out for them.

If that happens Americans will stop eating so much fast food. This could be a boon for the obesity crisis.

new idea - supermarket surges! quick get your poo poo to the checkout before it hits 5pm. e: it's 1 minute 20 seconds away from your food bill being 10% higher but looks like this item doesn't have a barcode sticker  let me just call someone over

CubanMissile posted:I wonder if the franchisees are concerned or if they think this is a gold rush. Probably the latter. it depends. If they do what we're expecting, and just have prices go up during actual mealtimes, its going to either barely make a difference, or be a detriment. If they actually make prices go down during off hours, (they wont), the franchisees will probably realize its smarter to just immediately close after dinner rush instead of being open till 1 am like usual.

^^ Yeah, they're doing this already. That's why a lot of them stopped doing 24/7 service. Yeah, people are just going to wait for cheaper pricing instead of going to another place and forgetting Wendy's exists. Why not just give that CEO his golden parachute now and find someone who isn't an idiot?

Instead of surge pricing wendy's should be considering serving Surge, the soft drink I'll never eat there again after it took 45 minutes to get a raw chicken sandwich while I was doing laundry as the only car in line one night, but I'd definitely stop by for a Surge.

Instead of increasing prices during peak times I say we should throw 10 MBAs into a volcano every 15 minutes until the rush subsides.
