now that it’s over, and i know it’s different bc it’s not a starvation wage mega corp, but remember when a bar in michigan did exactly this? i remember reddit being so enamored with this
Seems fun as a novelty, and it happens at a specific stated time of day. Dynamic pricing by a fast food chain makes no sense, especially when the schedule isn't disclosed, except to scam unwitting customers out of their money.
I totally agree.
It's fun as a novelty. Not when it's an excuse for the business to gouge you even harder.
Oh man I've been there, great bar.
