I’m not sure if that’s a joke or if there is a rural Arizona McDonalds franchisee that has a history of being litigious.
If anything I’d expect McDonalds to block API access for this user and implement controls to limit data aggregation.
My Canadian province there is a "kingpin" of sorts a family who owns many restaurants. One brother owns all the local Tim Horton's coffee shops here and another brother owns Wendy's restaurants. The also both have a pile of restaurants like steak, micro breweries. There is an even worse guy super arrogant but not related to the other two who owns many properties. People hate them.
If I ever win the lottery, I'm opening Waffle Houses across the street from as many Tim Horton's as I can.
Are you in New Brunswick? I know the Irvings own everything in that province.
