Ever hear those stories about hyperinflation where the grocery stores in Venezuela and Zimbabwe had to change their prices every few hours to keep up with the inflation? Yeah, this new "surge pricing" looks like preparation for either massive inflation and/or dollar collapse. My bet is that more big chains will announce similar plans in the coming months,
Good eye!
Wendy's may be talking about surge pricing, but this also positions them for hyper-inflation.
What's weird is that they aren't marketing it as the inverse, ie, happy hours where the prices are "cheaper" (really the regular new price); that's what they've done before. But I guess the health food activists killed the possibility of "happy hours" at fast food places ...
