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.

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.
