and no one has yet to answer this question: would you be okay with restaurants charging double the entree price during peak hours?

yes

it's supply and demand so why don't they do it????

because i doubt the very top could charge double every night and maintain the demand. this would combo with pissing off a portion of the fanbase and lead to a cycle of death.

do you think it's unethical for restaurants to offer lunch specials? ladies night? happy hour? same thing

first off, the super bowl hotels are being paid by 95% corporate folks and not your fans…hence the reason for the unethical spike.

secondly, Uber is SO far ahead of the competition, they can piss off half their fan base and still have a billion dollar market. and the 10x spike was is unethical…you don't even know if it filled the demand….you have no data to back that claim…for all we know the 10x fare actually resulted in a net loss for the company instead of simply having a smaller spike.

hard to argue my point of 4-10x surge rate being ridiculous without the data to back it up…i know they lost 1 customer in me…in fact, you could probably poll Tigerdroppings on who accepted the huge increase and who didn't.
