minus-squareZuzak [fae/faer, she/her]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·4 months agoNo no, it’s a totally different thing. Here let me explain. Let x represent the prices during busy times and y represent prices during slower times. “Surge pricing” is when x > y (boo, everyone hates it, Wendy’s is definitely not doing that) “Dynamic pricing” is when y < x (totally different, consumer friendly, yay discounts) So you see, x won’t be greater than y, y will simply be less than x
