Fast food restaurant Wendy’s plans Uber-like surge pricing, with digital menu boards that change prices depending on demand::The price of a Wendy’s Frosty could soon fluctuate throughout the day as the chain looks to introduce Uber-like surge pricing on its menu.

I feel like the easiest way to stop this bullshit is for states with EBT programs to take away Wendy's ability to charge EBT cards.

Wanna dabble with surge pricing? Fine, but you'll lose all your customers that are on welfare.

I didn't think you could get hot/prepared food with EBT? When I was on it, I couldn't even heat up a fucking sandwich in the gas station microwave before paying for it.

They definitely can, there's signage all over fast food joints where I live advertising that they take ebt.

Only for people experiencing homelessness. If you have a kitchen, no hot food for you even in California.
