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.

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.

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

Plot twist: time to uninstall is the intelligence test.

Same as every other corp. A combination of every data point they can get their hands on to build a “consumer” profile on you.

It’s that last point, “Inferences”, that you should focus on.

The captchas to log in are all logic puzzles (I have no idea this is just the first thing that popped into my head)

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.
