look at their target customer, they tend not to be too savvy with their money. so they will just waste more.

I don't eat fast food but I am so fed up with corporate greed and screwing the consumer every way they can. One of omy pet peeves is the way women's clothes are categorized. We used to be able to buy pant suits with jacket and pants as one unit but some greedy corporate Suit figured out that selling "separates" made a lot more money!
Maybe take your second “beef” to the Fashion forum. Many of us, especially those of us who aren’t shaped like the original fit models, don’t fit the same sizes for 2 piece pants suits. We appreciate the flexibility that allows us to buy 2 pieces in 2 different sizes. So not only are the greedy corporations making more money by pricing them as separates, they’re making more money by enlarging their customer base, since most of us won’t buy a 2 piece suit at all — unless both pieces fit.

I have tried using the app and it’s confusing, but you often get free food with it. I’ve had to get the workers to help me order on the app to use it. Like free fries on Friday.

The last time I was at a McDonalds you couldn't even order with a person at the register. You placed your order on a touch screen and paid right there. No employee involved.

I really wouldn't want the burger someone was wiling to sell me for the cheapest price. It would probably be yesterdays' burger or the one that fell on the floor.
Would you rather pay more for the same burger?
I don't eat fast food burgers at all, but buying restaurant food just because it was the cheapest turns me off even more and wouldn't lure me in. This type of app would turn me off and I suspect others.

These fast food restaurants are going to put themselves out of business with these prices and now this ridiculous surge pricing - charge even more at the busiest times like breakfast, lunch and dinner - LOL!
It would be one thing if they sold a very nice product, but half the time the fries are half cold and the burger is slapped together like a blind person was cooking. No bueno!
There are no locations within 25 miles of DC
