Don't worry! The prices won't be higher at busier times, they'll just be lower at slower times![emoji thonk thonk](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/922fe80d-74f6-43b6-a4e1-c74dbc4df512.png)

They're gonna raise prices even more so the "low" prices are at the levels of current prices.
Before: $5 for a burger
After ~~$9~~ $5 for a burger!
No no, it's a totally different thing. Here let me explain.
Let x represent the prices during busy times and y represent prices during slower times.
"Surge pricing" is when x > y (boo, everyone hates it, Wendy's is definitely not doing that)
"Dynamic pricing" is when y < x (totally different, consumer friendly, yay discounts)
So you see, x won't be greater than y, y will simply be less than x![emoji clown-to-clown-communication clown-to-clown-communication](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6fc3f951-79be-4304-8488-1f93f87658d1.png)
That was absolutely the plan from the start
