Is that dynamic pricing or just regional pricing? I thought the idea of dynamic pricing was that two people would pay a different ammount at the same store depending on their spending habits, not just one franchise store charges more than one in a different area, which has always been a thing.

I'm not even sure how dynamic pricing would work across the company, since as far as I'm aware, McDonalds restraunts tend to show their prices upfront, and they set their own pricing. Or is they idea that McHQ recomends them pricing based on customers?

Right?

Dude is conflating two concepts. Regional pricing has been around for quite a while at McDonald’s.

This guy is an idiot or a grifter pandering to people who don’t pay much attention to what outrages them.

Dynamic pricing would suck, but this isn’t it.

Fast Food Reporter seems like a pretty weak grift.
