Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

      Exactly, I read in the news paper today that “the increase will be in cents, not dollars”. My immediate reaction was to make the air jerking off motion.

      Corporations will do what’s profitable, that’s our economic system, get used to it or get rid of it.

    People are fucking stupid. Every last one of you who thought they were going to raise prices is a moron that believes anything you read from other morons.

    They were planning on adding discounts that only applied during off peak times. It sounds like they still are planning to do this. You fucks literally almost stupided your way out of saving money by being stupider than anticipated.

    I hope none of you have brokerage accounts because none of you have the intellect required to source stock information.

    This is how the rich get richer. It is is literally impossible to underestimate the intelligence of the average consumer and they long ago figured out how to profit from it.

      How does boot taste?

      Do you legitimately think a company was trying to figure out how to make less money?
