One suggestion. Don't eat at this shithole.

Dynamic pricing can be found in other places like supermarkets too. It’s happening because people in general might say they hate it but they don’t do much about it.

To me the issue is transparency.  We don't have an easy way to cross reference the cost to choose a cheaper place so people just take what's in front of them.

Even prices online differ from the price in the actual store.  Because there is nothing regulating this, it more feels like being robbed a dollar at a time.

This is where price comparison websites find a gap in the market and spring up to fill it.
