    Seems fun as a novelty, and it happens at a specific stated time of day. Dynamic pricing by a fast food chain makes no sense, especially when the schedule isn’t disclosed, except to scam unwitting customers out of their money.

      I totally agree.

      It’s fun as a novelty. Not when it’s an excuse for the business to gouge you even harder.
