    They are also using this as an excuse to get customers on their data hoovering apps to get access to any of the best deals.

      The McDonalds app explicitly stated they will measure your intelligence. Needless to say, I deleted my account and uninstalled.

      It’s the same with supermarkets, and every single website.

      It’s insane, people are like “who cares if they know I buy milk” not realising that actually all the data you’re providing is combined in aggregate and they likely have a very complete profile of everything about you.

      Nah that would imply they have good deals. The dollar menus are still basically done even on the apps and it feels like because they decided they are doing cheaper combos the deals needed to go. Haven’t seen good deals on the apps since they were clawing back customers.

      Someone with a spreadsheet is finding the exact profit margins they want and the answer is more than they are currently getting.
