Where is this happening? I think I would walk out and never come back if I walked into a fast food place and couldn't order until I downloaded an app.

You aren't required to but you will pay substantially more by not using the app and creating an account. They offer "exclusive" deals that usually amounts to roughly ~20% off menu price, while they raised all their base prices that much or more so you are subjected to data harvesting in order to pay the normal pirces.
I order fast food all the time and I'm always scoping for deals, rewards, etc. in the apps, and it's nowhere near 20% off on average.
