Still a dumb idea. As a consumer, lowering the prices at slow times is effectively the same as raising them at busy times.

Surge pricing works for Uber because their drivers are even more of a consumer of their product than the customers. They need drivers to turn on the app…

How will consumers know of the lower price?
You think they won't notice? There are nutters out there measuring the gram weight of Betty Crocker mix to prove the conspiracy that you get marginally less per box now, and they were right about it.

Ok.
Mik, that’s $1.00. He asked for 99 cents. Stop encouraging inflation.
