This will only piss people off. They will go elsewhere during peak hours when most of the business occurs. This is a boon for the competition.

People may go to Wendy’s during off hours to get a discount. So much of Wendy’s business will only sell at a discount during low traffic. Not a winning “combo.” (Want to large size that?)

Yeah seems a generally terrible idea to me. Might be profitable at some locations with little repeat business but your average schmuck is gonna go in be like "damn the frosty went up" and just go find something cheaper.
