of course they'd figure out a method & excuse for this eventually. the only reason not to was the difficulty in organizing price elasticity at scale, but these days, and with computers to organize it automatically? they wouldnt want to give managers/franchisees this kind of latitude but a computer the C-suite have complete control over checks all the boxes
and during a period of constant inflation going on anyway no-one knows what their bill will be going into a restaurant so the adjustment period shouldn't be a shock.
pretty soon algorithm-derived elastic pricing won't even be blamed on the company, its the Alogorithm, its the other people trying to get lunch, there will be "hacks" and strategies for this to be 'cheaper' than it was before if you calibrate--only an idiot would pay full surge price for a baconator, fuck you for complaining
Looking forward to the day the pricing algorithm fucks up and increases prices by 2000% because it gets an error and thinks that 10000 people are about to all walk into the store at once.
you'll also have people making youtube videos about paying surge prices for baconators because they want to have life experiences or make the most out of life.
