Good luck with that. I can already see normies squawk about "false advertising" and "price gouging" the moment they notice prices changing while waiting in line.
It could be a legitimate case of both. I'm sure that's illegal in some places and the lawyers already know where and how to limit the policy.
Someone mentioned lunch and dinner prices, but doing that at a fast food joint will have people questioning why they shouldn't just go to Olive Garden or something.
I like it. Maybe there won't be a line at the drive through.
That said: The only Wendy's surge I'd bother with is the 2am. At which point people don't care. But I'm just saying the main "surges" I've seen at Wendys are when nothing else is open. Then they get a big line because there's a large unmet demand for off-hours food now. Almost nothing is open past 9 post-pandemic. But you still have all the same people that work nights or wake up at 2 pm or whatever.
Post lockdowns. It wasn't the "pandemic" that changed all of this, but the government polices that never should've been followed in the first place.
