What happens? They change the prices throughout the day?

[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 40 points 8 months ago (3 children)

They announced they will be switching to surge pricing. If there are a lot of people trying to get burgers, they'll increase the price of burgers.

But will the employees see surge pay for handling so many customers at once?

LOL!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

No, but the floggings will increase.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fucking LOL. When are we going to start rioting against all this bullshit?

[–] GreyDawn@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Rioting won't work, you talk with your money. The only thing capitalism cares about is your labor and consumption....that's it.

My money said "string them up from the streetlamps" so I guess we doing that.

Let's put "surge pricing" in quotes to make it clear that it's some bullshit they just made up.

Back in my day we called it price gauging. Not sure what this surge price bullshit is. They are trying to steal my nostalgic feeling for surge to make it ok?

[–] fishbone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Ah, Surge...

Wasn't surge basically the diesel version of mountain dew? I vaguely remember trying it once and not caring for it.
