I have a nephew in high school. There’s a McDonalds that’s a close walk. A lot of kids hang out there and, in aggregate, they spend a ton of money. My nephew would often order through the app and his friends would give him cash. He’d end up with a bunch of rewards.
So, from McDonalds perspective he’s a customer buying tons of crap. Do you know what the true reward was? Price gouging, that’s what. In the app, everything was more expensive for him than it was for me.
So, since winning the lotto by having a McDonalds beside a high school isn’t enough, they’re ripping off their regulars. I hope they go broke. My family doesn’t spend money there anymore. We’re not price sensitive, but we’re definitely “getting ripped off” sensitive.
Screw McDonalds.
