Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.

    Fries from fast casual local joint: $3.99.

    Fries from McDonald’s: 4.39

    Local joint fills the bag like Five Guys. McDonald’s barely has fries in the fries sleeve.

    It’s just not worth going there unless I use the app and that’s only for when it’s got one person.

      You look at the privacy policy or app permissions for the McDonalds app? The thing is datamining your life.

        Have you looked at the privacy policy and permissions? They’re pretty tame and about what you’d expect for any app that handles purchases: https://play.google.com/store/apps/datasafety?id=com.mcdonalds.app

        Personal info - Name, Email address, User IDs, and Address

        Financial info - User payment info and Purchase history

        Messages - Emails and Other in-app messages

        App activity - App interactions, In-app search history, and Other actions

        App info and performance - Crash logs, Diagnostics, and Other app performance data

          Not all of them. Phone ID for example, I think phone number also, and unless you force it to sleep whenever not using it, it can collect your IP address when at home on Wi-Fi which can be used to locate you.

            Not since android 10 (maybe 8?). To access WiFi network info or information about the connected cell tower requires the location permission. Also the device id is unique to each app. So app A and app B on your on device will see different device ids. Deleting and reinstalling the app will not generate a new device I’d, however.

      They’ve been huffing their own farts. They’ve used ad placement about having legendary fries for so long that they actually believe it. Last time I had McDonald’s french fries about 5 years ago they tasted like shredded and compressed napkins, smothered with salt. No thanks, at any price.
