Don't worry! The prices won't be higher at busier times, they'll just be lower at slower times
They're gonna raise prices even more so the "low" prices are at the levels of current prices.
Before: $5 for a burger
After ~~$9~~ $5 for a burger!
No no, it's a totally different thing. Here let me explain.
Let x represent the prices during busy times and y represent prices during slower times.
"Surge pricing" is when x > y (boo, everyone hates it, Wendy's is definitely not doing that)
"Dynamic pricing" is when y < x (totally different, consumer friendly, yay discounts)
So you see, x won't be greater than y, y will simply be less than x
That was absolutely the plan from the start
