FWIW, they already abandoned this idiotic idea.

They should still continue to be viciously mocked for it, because it's horrific and dystopian, and someone absolutely will try it again at some point.

But in case anyone was wondering, it's not currently set to be a thing.

Edit: huh, turns out that a Norwegian chain has been doing "dynamic pricing" for 12 years already, according to this NPR piece
