And to encourage you to use their app as well. Remember when 7/11 got the app a soda went from .89 to 1.29. “If you get the app you save money!”

No you’re charging me for not having the app. That’s what just happened.

It’s also part of why things have gotten slower. Again to use 7/11… now every person in line in front of you has to spend 30 more seconds fumbling with their phone or key fob barcode to buy their one damn soda.

I’m bitter about it lol

All these replies and you're the only one to mention the apps. It's absolutely one of the reasons why (beyond them using "inflation" to cover for straight greed).

By jacking their prices way up, and only offering discounts via their apps, they win either way - You pay ridiculous amounts, or you pay slightly less ridiculous amounts and they get your data.

I wouldn’t even mind the stealing of my information so much if they were at least quick about it. Imagine Facebook every few minutes stopped working and said “now stealing your information… please wait…”
