This is 100% going to drive away customers. Absolutely genius.
Yea you're not going to get more people coming in on off peak hours you're just going to kill your lunch rush everyday.
Most people with a job don't really have the option to go at 330 to buy a burger without a payment plan.
Also we should be taking bets on how batshit insane the surge pricing is.
Over under is $18 for a basic meal.
The cool thing about surge pricing is it will follow the shift in whatever the new established busy time is. If people move it to 3:00, that will just be the new surge time. There might be a bit of hang time if you stay ahead of the curve
Exactly. They might as well just raise the prices cause thats effectively what they're trying to do without making it look like it.
You have more faith in people than I do. I'm betting the vast majority of people who can afford it will just accept it and it will become the norm, which will fuck over the people who can't. That's how these things always are.
They saw McDonald's driving away customers with their new "beg for refills" policy and thought they could one them up.
Amazing idea to price gouge and worsen the customer experience on literally the cheapest part of the entire thing.
WTF it used to be common knowledge that the fountain drinks cost less than the cup, how bad are their financials that this will make a difference.
Just a few years after soda fountains have reached their peak, McD's wants to take them away? Shit sucks yo.
