The hypothetical pricing includes charging $49 for a Caesar salad.
if i ran a restaurant in san francisco, i’d raise prices to psychotic levels.
$49 caesar salad.
$32 fries.
$24 sparkling water.
then i’d offer steep discounts based entirely on where you work.
teacher? discount.
nurse? discount.
city employee? discount.
barista? discount.
artist? discount.
openai, anthropic, meta, or google?
zero discount, full price.
surge pricing based on pure economics.
is this illegal?
Some users called the hypothetical SF restaurant charging AI workers full price a brilliant idea, while many others dismissed it as the dumbest post and insulted the proposer.
@signulll This is exactly how universities work. They put out a list tuition price and then give what they call "need based financial aid" but which is effectively just perfect price discrimination.
@signulll Technically not, but a disparate impact claim might be made if employment correlates with protected class. Lawyers can tell us whether SCOTUS decisions extend to public accomodations. Go try it and add an Antifa Eats Free tier. ☠️
@signulll >barista >discount
God urban culture is so exhausting and performative. These dorks actually think people who beep boop espresso machines are like firemen and doctors.
@signulll I’d increase the prices for nurses, teachers and artists and decrease it for tech company staff and priests
@dadiomov it’ll be interesting if this type of thing proliferates in the economy if there is more inequality.
@SR_eth lol it’s just a dumb post kinda poking fun at the potential absurdity of outcomes in sf.
@signulll these types of socialist restaurants have been tried in the past and they never work
@signulll I remember visiting Russia in 2012 and salads were $50 and I remember thinking that was a sign of a broken society.

@jeazous the food quality would be top notch. best you’ve ever had.
@thebruchez the food has to be insanely good.
@signulll Bro, have you ever eaten in San Francisco at a restaurant? These are the regular prices.
@signulll Could you use any more linebreaks?
@signulll a lot of restaurants have already implemented this strategy they just forgot about the discount part
what about feeding the transcript of what’s being discussed at the table and dynamically adjusting the surcharge? you can even openly display it.
every sentence about ai, ipos, hiking etc ramps up the surcharge by like 10%. staying quiet on purpose can also be inferred by the power of ai/ml and punished. some people can’t talk about anything else
@AlexKenich9 not on the weekends.
@senta72 i wasn’t serious about it lol, it’s mostly a joke.
@signulll @loveholliejo Laws don’t matter any more. Legal or not I’d love to see it lol
@signulll > reinvents a list of exclusionary list of professions > Describes it as "pure economics"
Why are Leftists like this, bros? The actual pure economics answer would be to give discounts to net tax contributors and massive markups to freeloaders
But you're not ready for that.
@signulll We get great food for free at work tho
@signulll if it was pure, you'd have to base it strictly on willingness to pay signals etc.
this is using assumption, discrimination and occupational favoritism
there are better models than punishment of success with assumption of greater spending power
