I actually saw this at a BK in the late 1980s. It was at our favorite joint to go to when we were stoned at late night. In the drive thru we ordered our standard crap; same as most weekends. We get to the pay window and it was twice as much as normal. Like $30 instead of the normal $15. The guy driving just laughed, took the curb across the lawn into the parking lot next door to get out of line and just laughed. We hit up a cheap as heck Taco Bravo for something like $8 instead.

That BK was gone in less than a year. Driving by it, I'd guess their amount of customers dropped by 90%.

honestly this is starting to look more like haggling's viable in the drive thru at Wendy's now. Yes ma'am I see those fries look good but $3 is too rich for what I'm drivin, how about you toss in a Frosty and we'll make it $4 clean. i can wait. couple ketchup packets too

What's really cool about this is that it will let Wendy's pay their employees more when they are busier and call it surge pay.

And by employees I mean their executives on the board.

Funny how the surge prices only go up and there’s never a matinee price where it’s 2:15 on a Tuesday so the burger is a dollar.

I just bought $20000 worth of puts on baconators @ $8.39 that expire at 9pm tonight. As long as the price goes down I'll be up a few g-stacks by tomorrow

Yup. Regular inflation isn’t good enough anymore, now the shareholders demand constant increase on the hour.
