a fucking big mac cost $18.50....

surely this is unsustainable if the bottom of society can't afford food right?

Wendy's is going to start introducing "dynamic pricing" though, meaning the prices on their menus will decrease or decrease throughout the day depending on demand.

I agree OP is exaggerating, but the Wendy's thing seems crazy to me.

Ok, but I don't want my burger to increase in price like a hotel room. I want to know roughly what price it is before I get to the fucking restaurant.

Also the article I posted is awful.
>You might want to get strategic about exactly what time of day you buy lunch
Fuck, no, I don't want to get "strategic" about something like that. That sounds awful.
>We were worried that increasing prices would cause people to buy less but thankfully it turns out that's not the case!
It's the nonchalance with which the author writes shit like this that disturbs me. I realize we're talking about burgers, but imagine if you read an article about something more serious, like a tax increase, for example.
>We thought a 95% flat tax could lead to riots and homelessness but, as it turns out, that's not the case at all!
I don't like it.

Yeah no shit. This whole thing is coming to every other fast food chain as well. That's what the article was saying.
>Stop eating goyslop then and cook from home.
Ok, yeah, you win. Just stop hitting "enter"

I don't see it working out in the long run (outside of major cities).

However if this does take off:
>I'll order massive comical amounts of burgers when the price is low.
>Thus pumping the price for everyone after
>Keep them under a heatlamp gas station style.
>Resell on FB marketplace for profit after I've tripled the cost artificially.
I mighy even hire a couple of guys to get a food truck going if this becomes profitable enough. I think I'll call it "swingies".

A quick google search confirms it's perfectly legal to resell food you purchase so long as you change the wrapper and remove references to the restaurant, so that could actually work.

I don't want to live in a dystopian nightmare with you scalping actual burgers from McDonald's and burritos from Chipotle though.

I did this with the rick and morty chink sauce. It's already over bro, I'm pricing food trucks rn. I'll even get door dash set-up, I'm researching AI to predict buy times for maximum profits as we speak.

There's no reason there shouldn't be. Just need some kind of escrow system to track it, unless you literally plan to buy and sell the burgers directly like that other guy.
