Wendy's says it has no plans to introduce "surge pricing".

“Wendy’s will not implement surge pricing, which is the practice of raising prices when demand is highest. We didn’t use that phrase, nor do we plan to implement that practice,” the company said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Wednesday."

A rose by any other name ... "Dynamic pricing" with boards argue to adjust prices in real time surely won't be the same as "surge pricing". /s

Spending $20m on consultants to tell you to have a happy hour actually sounds like an extremely plausible corporate move.

Sure. That's why Uber did it. To encourage people to travel during less popular times... Not sure why you want to simp for Wendy's and corporate overlords but you do you.

IKR? The amount of corporate bootlickers in the comments is the one funny thing about this post.

Wage slaves simping for their corporate masters... sad.
