this is pure greed. there won’t be any lower prices.
if they were just after more traffic and lower prices were on the table as a way achieve that goal, they would have have said they were going to ‘experiment’ with ‘new promotions’ – not ‘dynamic pricing’, a term which already is seen by most as being a bad thing
The company has actually released a statement saying that lowering prices during slow hours is exactly what they’re planning on doing, along with promoting certain items based on weather (which I assume means ice cream when it’s hot, coffee when it’s cold, etc).
“i know, let’s lower prices on a #1 and #2 for a couple hours and stick a banner in the app”
crickets for 3 more hours, until dinner rush starts
yea. that won’t work. the only way they’re “lowering” prices during slow periods is if they jack up the menu across-the-board (ya know, even more than they have the last four years) first.

they’re lying.
“it’s slow. labor is too high”
“we’ve sent home everyone we can, boss”
