> the threat isn’t so much “more” as “mystery.” you can plan for four fries instead of five if the cost goes from a buck to a buck and a quarter. but what if you don’t know how much it will cost? i'd imagine that 1) cost difference may be but a few cents / half a dollar, something on that level. extra $0.27 across the country at lunch translates to millions later, but may not be especially noticeable to the average consumer. even a dollar or two might still fly. and 2) going by what I'm seeing each time I'm in a Wendy's or similar, there are a non-trivial number of Skip / Uber Eats / Dash orders moving out the door. Presumably this is to tap into that credit card paying demo, esp. since in most cases they're not going to argue about 27 cents and don't have to worry about being literally short-changed at checkout.
