    The state of people blindly using apps for everything is atrocious.

    “But it saves me a 1USD on my fast food burger!”

      Fast food charges you around double if you don’t use the app. I think it’s mostly about tiered pricing. They want the money from those willing to pay $15 for a burger AND they still want the money from people who won’t pay more than $10. This way they get both.

        It’s just an incentive to install the app, the amount of data being harvested and sold/traded is basically the new economy.
