What do you think about the new idea in fast food for "surge pricing" or "dynamic pricing" on food? For an industry primarily built on the model of serving cheap slop it feels fairly antithetical towards the customer's interest to implement such a system when people are already complaining about the price of food. There's no esteemed reputation for these places that would make someone choose them over any other available restaurant in the vicinity if they're not vastly cheaper so I have no idea what these people are thinking even suggesting this.

Every company is rushing towards self destruction after realizing that they can't do zero interest business

The article doesn't explain what that is, but it sounds bad. I also hate digital menus even more than the anxiety ordering from a human creates.

 No.2867

the makers of the award winning "algorithmic wage discrimination" bring you the next summer blockbuster: "algorithmic price gouging"

 No.2868

It's a terrible idea, particularly for fast food.
The reason people buy fast food in the first place is not because it's good but because it's consistent. You know what you are getting in every McDonalds everywhere and you know what the cost will be, this goes against that consistency.

This exists in China and is used for gouging, yeah.

Kid's meals with a random toy have been around for decades......

No, I mean, it's a budget food option that's a random about-to-expire food item. It's a very popular way to buy food during the Chinese cost of living crisis

Sounds pretty bad, but I don't really eat fast food so it doesn't concern me

I think it basically means that they're gonna use AI to find out how much customers are willing to pay for burgers

 No.2876

>>2874
That doesn't really sound unique? How is that any different from breakfast menus -> daytime menus, or seasonal items? Or do you literally mean food that has been sitting around for days and is about to expire...

 No.2877

>>2876
Yes, and it is random in what you receive

 No.2881

Aren't electric utilities planning to make power prices dynamic on minute by minute calculations, too?
It would make sense to demand different prices for products if their fresh production costs vary across the day, too.

Actually, the entire article is almost bit scary in how vague it is. I mean, yeah, you can guess that "enabling the crew to focus on what matters" is a euphemism for firing half of them, but overall it says very little.

 No.2882

I just got an icee from mcD's and both the girls at the drive through had McDonald themed shirts with katakana on them. One was a sweater I couoldnt' make out that looked like some metal band logo and the other just said McDonald's in english and in japanese.
