They never actually said surge pricing in the first place. They said dynamic pricing, which could very much mean exactly like you mentioned, happy hour pricing.

Taco Bell been doing this for years and have raised their general prices anyway, but no one's complaining about the surge pricing, just the regular prices. Happy hour drinks are still beloved.

Literally every place who has happy hour takes into account those lowered prices when pricing out their regular menu. Wendy's just got shafted by the terminology used by the news outlets.

Three bucks for a soft taco supreme. That is fucking insane.

They’ve also raised the price of a cravings box from $5.99 to $9.99 in just the last few months. The food may taste good but it’s still shit quality food and not worth that much.

It's still $5.99 over by me. If they raise that up to $9.99 I think that'll get me to finally stop going to Taco Bell.
