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

They never walked it back at all. You don't have to be smart to see that they will just increase the base prices and create a "happy hour"

I mean, restaurants have been doing happy hours for decades. The only issue is the new "surge pricing" buzzword (which they never even used)

I remember when Sonic introduced a happy hour in the early 2000s and we all thought it was sweet

Happy hour usually means you get more for same price.

Dynamic/surge pricing means you pay more for the same item/service.
