For those of us outside the US/North America, what is this flux price Wendy's thing?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Basically, price surges on the menu when in high demand. So if you would go take out some Wendy's during some holiday or a very busy time the prices would be higher than usual.

Obviously, I agree with others that Wendy's will probably do that sneakily and not with huge price difference but the concept is disgusting especially when it comes to food imo.

Oh wow, that's really bad wtf. I would not mind it if it meant that the employees also get paid that much extra. But by looking at another comment here, it looks to me as if that is not the case. Really sad how undeserving of our support this system is, especially in the USA.
