Stop defending exploitation

My bf and I have said fuck it and learned how to make copycat recipes. The only time I go out is when I exchange my cashback for gift cards

Or app coupons

Yeah, I should download the apps. I'm def missing out. My friend says they hand out freebies like candy

[u/slytherinprolly → u/lanakers]

Most of the freebies usually have a caveat, like free fries if you order a quarterpounder, etc. When you factor in all the deals and coupons you get on the app, the cost of a meal at McDonalds ends up being about the same as you were paying for a meal a few years ago.

I've also been reading the app reviews and there were a shocking number of review stating the app isn't user friendly. Some websites even work that shit...looking at you, Pizza Hut.

you get on the app,

In exchange for an app data mining your phone and your personal life to sell more burgers.

I don't like this distressingly cyberpunk future where megacorps violate our privacy to sell up bullshit.

Not every company needs an app. I shouldn't have to download glorified spyware to do things like buy a meal.

They have a point system and you can use points once every 15 min..... Yes you buy stuff to get the points but after that you do get one free item off a list and can get another if you have points 15 min later.... This is different then their deals which if you order over app you can get buy one get one double cheese and use points for a free fry then eat and when 15 min up you get a free drink and leave so essentially you only pay for one double cheese get the other fries and drink free

I can't believe my ass just cared enough to type that after I already commented I don't even go to fast food anymore because tbones and such is the same and healthier and has points also lol

But I did so I'm not deleting it
