    No way that works for a fastfood restaurant that’s very frequently going to be placed near other restaurants. I’m just gunna’ drive to another drive-thru restaurant dude. I’m not paying your fucking prices. Unless they all do it, I guess.

        Oh, crap. I hadn’t even thought of that. I wonder if Wendy’s overlooked it too. I predict this…,.

        Wendy’s institutes surge pricing. A few weeks later some hog stewing in his car in the drive-thru gets irate that his burger is going to cost an extra $5. He goes into road rage mode and he is particularly angry at the person of color in the first car in line who is “too slow”. Bullets fly. People die. Wendy’s (and other companies) quietly cancel surge pricing.
