I need more context here. I know of talk about dynamic pricing, but heard they walked that back. I mean would you get the same notification if you like added bacon or a dessert on the final menus right before you hit total?
Don’t know about US case law, but UK and NZ, the pricing when selecting is considered an “invitation to treat”. When the product is actually brought to checkout an offer is made at the listed price on the checkout, which can then be either accepted or declined.
Was brought up after a business was done for selling switchblade knives that were only on display - as no offer was actually made and accepted they weren’t “being sold”.
To answer your question more directly, prices listed on advertising and boards are considered “invitation”, not an offer and acceptance. It can change until the final offer and acceptance is made - bullshit but legal.

Wendy’s walked theirs back after mistakingly misadvertising their “discount” scheme in a way that was construed as surge pricing. Heh, we’ll see.
For this, can only find the Reddit source online.
