    The whole idea of a franchise is so people can get the same menu at the same quality at the same price no matter where they are. Having dynamic pricing means you can’t even be assured of the price at a single location, let alone being in a new city with an unfamiliar restaurant.

    If you don’t know what you are going to be able to buy with your $5, then might as well go to someplace different.

        For the consumer I am pretty sure they meant. There is a lot of surprises and uncertainty but when you go to a place like that you know exactly what you are going to get for the price you expect.

        It is all true in the Country I live in. And the other Countries I have visited.

        I guess not all Countries are the same, and forget that people in the US think everyone else is also from the US.

      Whenever I am abroad I usually go to a franchise place at least once just out of curiosity. Rarely buy anything. The prices are usually identical.
