That's hilarious. I had read that Wendy's was going to jack prices up during peak hours, then lower them back down during slow hours. I'm just a nobody but that sure does seem stupid to me. Way to loose all the customers during peak hours.

That clip is so funny.

Attn 3:47. Since you admitted being a nobody, I will try to explain it to you. It is called economics, look it up on line.

809 is a lot of fun at parties. Lighten up Francis

3:47 is correct, I don’t see how raising prices during peak hours can possibly be a successful business strategy for Wendy’s.

Oh, and 8:09 is a jerk.

Matt Mitchell is hilarious. His SEC football shows during the season are epic.

Actually kinda of funny. Like SEC shorts for fast food. But if we want to argue economics, this will never work.

8:09 was probably on here 20 years ago defending Gannett’s “economics.”

8:09 was only correct in terms of reading about economics and the price elasticity of demand. He must have skipped that day. Price elasticity of demand mean demand changes when price changes and occurs where there is ease of substitution for the product.....like in a burger and fries, which can be found anywhere sort of like a commodity such as corn or wheat. Wendy's folks obviously missed that day in class, as did 8:09.

These fast food places are FA and are probably about to find out the substitution principle can't alawys be fixed with some online discounts.

Their customers will instantly realize that they are being forcibly bent over with higher prices when they are hungry.

The fact the airline industry practically invented the concept of bending over the customer won't exactly help the customers get warm fuzzies about why their food suddenly costs more right now.

Trying to think about the marketing excuses about why the corporate hats decided this was a good idea, but now have seen the error of their ways ...how does that work when the subject is intending to rip off your customers?

Still waiting for those burger robots that the 8:09s of the world predicted 10 years ago. Along with the autonomous 80,000 lb semis everywhere. Sometimes it's clear that the filthy rich have far too much time and money on their hands in their pathetic attempts to "disrupt" for ever more profit. But the surplus of "business majors" in corporate are eager to contribute to the chaos, collusion, and price gouging.

Robots don't buy cars. Ford paid his workers enough to buy cars. Some forgotten lessons.

Meanwhile, as windows pop out of Boeing planes, American Air decides to hike bag fees, already immensely profitable, just in time for the spring break surge and delays. Genius.

Corporate greed is insatiable. And BOD idiots pick their drunk doper frat buddies instead of someone who's worked their way up from the loading dock or mail room. With predictable performance.

Funny guy. He's on the spot in so many ways.

What 9:23 AM said.

If it doesn't work the hats can still get their going-away money.

I'm not dumping on SEC Shorts, but KF should add Matt Mitchell "SEC Role Call" in football season. It is excellent.

All this tells me is if I never go to Wendy's then I don't have to worry about the price.

Better idea, post a max price that goes down during slow demands.

The concept is poorly reasoned. No worries. I’ll just stop going to Wendy’s at lunch.

KF did you just discover Matt? His SEC takes are funnier than SEC Shorts.

You can take this to the bank. The normal price will be charged during off hours. The prices during lunch and dinner will go up to whatever they can rob off of their customers.

Me? I won't do business with those who try to cheat me. there is too much pain involved when I get paid for me to participate in this embezzlement activity. it's like, during rush hours, you go inside and find they demand extra payment to get your car back when you leve because the lot is fuller during rush hour than at midnight.
