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
