I was using the apps before it became the only place to get the deals simply for the fact that it means I don’t have to talk to another human being IRL. It also means I don’t have to wait, at least at some places like Jack in the Box, since they start making your order when it’s placed and not when you show up, like McDonald’s does.
Not Mark of the beast shit, but I do see there being a time where the apps will be the only way to order fast food because fast food will have been fully automated at that point. There would be no humans to take your order at all. It would be a machine, and you interface with it through the app.
Part of me believes that would be great, like all the self-checkouts at the Walmart. But another part of me knows that it would be one of the single most annoying/frustrating things to deal with, let alone the fact that all those people would be out of a job.

I already eat way less fast food since they started hiding all the ‘deals’ behind the apps. Win win imo.
