They will lose lots of business once the word spreads.
No kidding. I ordered the same as you. I about fell over when she told me my total. I should have walked out. I will never eat at one again. $20 for a decent but not great cheeseburger and greasy poorly cooked fries. No thanks. I pay a similar price at my local bar for much better food and I get a beer.
I noticed that too. It was like $7 for a hot dog.
I make a big effort to avoid fast food in general. But I'd seriously consider eating a bowl of dirt from my garden before McDonald's. I won't even take someone through the drive through. I don't want that smell in my car.
When I walked into that place and looked at the menu board, I nearly fell over. I wanted to leave, but i did not have the time to go elsewhere as my daughter and I were on a strict schedule. I am fond of their fries at Five Guys, but no fast food meal is worth $20. At lunch you can go to a diner and get a full meal with a salad bar or a chain restaurant and get an actual entree for far less than $20.
I am generally not a fan of McDonald’s or most fast food in general. However, every once in a while I get a strong urge for a quarter pounder. It generally occurs when I’m having a stressful day at work, like my body needs beef!
And that is exactly the plan. Which makes sense to me and may work very well.
If this change happens it will almost certainly coincide with a price increase. Then the now increased "regular price" will only be available at off peak times but will still appear as a discounted price vs. the surge prices, and that's how it will be marketed despite being higher overall regardless.
Meh, I don't eat at Wendy's, nor McDs, nor any of the fast food chains where people are likely to not care what happens to my food. I eat at Chic-Fil-A and Canes for fast food. That's it. For me, it's WAY more about the people making my food than the food itself. It just so happens that with Chic-fil-a and Canes, you get both good food and better employees.I guess that would be OK if it was Wendy from OnlyFans but this is the fast food joint.
Wendy’s Wants to Start Uber-like Surge Pricing in 2025
Wendy's will use new digital menu boards to change your burger's price based on overall demand.
But if people begin to come in larger numbers at off peak hours does the higher price kick in?
An event is a captive audience, there for the event. Ppl accept the food/bev prices as a secondary feature, meaning no one goes to the event for a $14 beer. Asking ppl to pay $14 for a fast food burger because there is a line will not go over well.
All of this...ordered Chikfila using Door Dash...2 adult...2 kids...was almost 70 bucks. Still paid it.
As usual if you make enough money it doesnt matter too much. So stop complaining, and find a way to make enough money.
Tipping at fast food has become the biggest crock of you know what. During the worst of the pandemic I would tip quite well as a salute to these people showing up for work. But the demands for it continued after the pandemic. It’s ridiculous.
We can't come together because the people are to stupid and busy pointing fingers at each other's political party. Blaming the other for the same things they ignore from their own party. Busy trying to run the other down, then crying foul because the other party is doing the same. Thus country is ****ed, the entire system is corrupt to the core, but the sheep are too buy taking sides and pointing fingers.
Interesting,
