And getting deals to get you to open the app so they can track you isn’t? It’s the same game. Offer deals through the app so they can sell your data. Subsidizing the fries. All your cookies are belong to MarTech.

How else would they offer fries for $1? Cheap transportation? lol. I built it, I know.

Sure maybe. What do they know though? my email, name, and I went to mcdonalds? is this valuable information?

Someone else in this comment section said it, but I think it's more about a way to do price discrimination. They can still sell at a lower margin to more price sensitive customers through the app, and get higher profit from people who don't care about the higher prices.
