    “Want to get there 2 minutes earlier for $5?” Oooooh do I think that the notion of “We’ll sell you a better service if you’re price insensitive” is likely to be controversial but that strikes me as great business.

        Restaurants need this. I, a high end sales rep taking out clients, want a table at the hot Michelin starred spot tonight. And bring over a high end wine bottle "compliments of the chef". I'll pay 3x menu price in advance.

        It drives me mildly crazy that restaurants do capacity allocation via favor networks and e.g. hotel concierges and not a market mechanism.

        They can get you there 2 minutes earlier by artificially delaying everyone except you by 2 minutes It's like Intel CPUs, all identical dies, then some get lobotomized to make Celerons

        You're not wrong, but in some cases infrastructure does this already (certain 'rentable' HOV lanes, toll roads, etc.) and they can just pass that on.

        Particularly if you are calling it close to getting to the airport. I would also pay an extra $5 for “we’ll actually pick you up for sure!”

        Before folks will routinely pay for that you'll probably need some way to verify - a for-physical-infrastructure equivalent of Netflix report cards for ISPs, basically. Which might or might not be a good business. Netflix had to do it defensively :-)

        the prompts with the more expensive button default-colored-in, and which repeat even though i've declined the offer many times, are hella annoying, though i realize that as long as it's not *quite* annoying enough to make me call a cab company they won't quit
