    There are many fast food chains that effectively require the app

    McDonald’s and Subway are examples. You’ll be paying quite a bit more without the app exclusive deals

    There are also many chains that don’t require an app for the best deals. Burger Kind and Culvers being examples

    I wish this comic had a bit of nuance, because Burger King shouldn’t be getting lumped in because they’re better than most others

      But the deal are so shit in recent years I just don’t even go there anymore

      I didn’t mind the app, but even then they still didn’t stop make them shittier over the years with them being less reliable and losing features I just uninstalled them.

      That Burger king one is legit by me. They cut their staff so much they have 2 people cooking and one kiosk you can self order at that’s broken half the time. Half the time you to to the drive through and they have a sign that says “app orders only.” It’s insane.
