Comment on Taco Bell Says 'No Más' to AI Drive-Thru Experiment
HubertManne@piefed.social 1 day agoThis has been a wonderful development for me. As a non smartphone person the deals being in the apps has been part of whats gotten me to stop using fast food. The main reason is the price but the online deals would have had me back if I could just stop in and order them. Its mom and pop shops for me until they get roped into the app ecosphere.

Have you tried comparing the in app deals to the local coupon mailers? I don’t eat much fast food so I’ve never ordered through an app but I receive the mailer coupons weekly.

oh yeah. They don't even come close in most cases. Subway maybe but like dominoes and mcdonalds have some real loss leaders in their app. Anyway im not going to be putting in to much effort because honestly I was on myself to stop eating fast food and its sorta great they made themselves dead to me. I firmly think they have essentially eliminated a whole section of customers as im sure my wife and I are not the only ones. Certainly not the majority as I see folks in line at the drive through and grub hub showing up at my complex. Maybe one percent. Its really funny because I thought much of it was food addiction but now I realize a lot of it was the cheap and convenient aspect and cheap is pretty important especially with my recent financial realities.
