Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

    an app which invades your phone and gives them shitloads of data

    Their app isn’t too bad (at least for now). It has enough data collection that I wouldn’t want to download it, but it just strait spyware like some fast food apps cough McDonald’s.

      It’s tracking location.

      That’s a pretty massive red flag for an app that has exactly zero need for it.

      Speaking of things that the McDonald’s app has access to, I just double checked mine on Android and it has permissions to access your pictures and files by default, I’m sure it was part of that thing that you just select through in order to access the app but that’s kind of concerning can understand location, files is a little weird

        The earlier version required access to all your files to even start. They did update it to not need that anymore. But if you already had it installed with access to files, it kept that access.

        But, yes, that’s completely unacceptable they required that at all.
