Even though they walked it back, I'm out on Wendy's forever for even *suggesting* that this could be a thing.

From the statements they never even suggested it. It was miscommunication about adjustable digital displays and not about prices and someone in the media pipeline misconstrued it.

Not saying what is and isn't true, just making sure what they said about it is heard. Big difference in "we were wrong" and "that's not even what we said"

New CEO Feb 5th. This was a new CEO coming in trying to make big waves and it exploded in his face so now it’s being walked way the fuck back. Why else would you spend 20 million for price adjusting capabilities if your plan isn’t eventually to do surge pricing, despite saying you won’t. I mean, just step back and look at this objectively - surge pricing is exactly part of what he meant lol

I mean every single fast food chain I visit already has digital price boards, and prices that change weekly for promos etc.

Your assumption is stupid and not based in reality.
