    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.

      I dunno, I go to burger king way more because they have a deal with Walmart + of 25% off your order ever day for members, but the only way to claim it is via app, so I’d say they’re right there with the others.

      They don’t require it. You just want it for the deals. I love it for the free food I get. But I but from them all the time without the app when I don’t care. Before the app they never had deals like these anyways. So it’s just like the old time.
