I might be ok with this if they also had "ebb" pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.
This, of course, will never happen.
Also, does that mean the worker's pay also scales along with the prices?
Hahahahahahahaha
No
An extra $0.25/hr during peak. Which of course is done by subtracting the $0.25/hr from the base and adding it back during peak.
No, but we'll be expected to leave larger tips.
… tips? Yall tip at fast food places?
No, but that doesn't stop corpos from putting the tip prompt in every goddamned pos transaction they can.
