Housing Bubble 2: Return of the Ugly

Bad business practice too. Are those few cents worth them considering not to choose BK next time? As well as everyone they show/post the picture they took to?

Sure, but were you ever gonna waste your money there to begin with?

Wendy’s walked theirs back after mistakingly misadvertising their “discount” scheme in a way that was construed as surge pricing. Heh, we’ll see.

For this, can only find the Reddit source online.

Don't know about US case law, but UK and NZ, the pricing when selecting is considered an "invitation to treat". When the product is actually brought to checkout an offer is made at the listed price on the checkout, which can then be either accepted or declined.

Was brought up after a business was done for selling switchblade knives that were only on display - as no offer was actually made and accepted they weren't "being sold".

To answer your question more directly, prices listed on advertising and boards are considered "invitation", not an offer and acceptance. It can change until the final offer and acceptance is made - bullshit but legal.

that's what they want. we're entering the "whale economy". why should they make and sell 10 burgers for $1 each when they could make and sell 1 burger for $10? they make the same revenue but more profit because their labor and materials could be cut by up to 90%. some idiot will keep paying because they're impulsive or desperate or have enough money to simply not care. if nine customers are alienated for the one that opens their wallet 10x wider than usual, the investors are happy and the MBAs give themselves bonuses and celebrate. it works for mobile/f2p games, it works for saas, it works for software, it'll work for this and it'll work for every other industry before long. get ready for surge pricing groceries and gas and internet and power - it's coming, under the false justification of "savings". the unprofitable non-whales can die for all they care.

“Enshittification isn’t a problem; just stop eating!”

Maybe it’s in an airport. Either way I’m not sure what this has to do with a housing bubble.

The OP on reddit said that they were on the New Jersey turnpike.

It seems evident they took a picture of an order summary on a kiosk, looking at the UI as well as the reflection on the screen.

That may be because they don't check the tickets every minute. Once they check it, they get the current price. You should use the airline or hotel site anyway. It's usually cheaper.
