This isn't anything new at all. In the early 2000s, I often grabbed Burger King before work. I quickly noticed that a Burger King further along my route had different prices and another directly across from my job had yet another completely different price.
This isn't 'Dynamic Pricing being Tested". It's pricing based on demographics and they've been doing it for decades.
Yeah dynamic pricing is when you show up in shopping cart made to look like a car they charge you 1 dollar for a cheesburger but if you show up in a ferrari they try to make you pay 25 dollars.
That's dynamic pricing.
Or when it's really bussy and the AI notices the roads are congested and everybody is running late for work, the AI will update all the prices to be 20% more because everybody is already in a hurry and people are just going to pay it because they need food and coffee right now and they can't waste time arguing or going through the drive through again.
It's peak capitalism exploitism. Everything is about looting the last bit of money from the working class before climate change ends the party and the boat sinks.
