    the worst is when it redirects you to a 3rd party website that demands your address and phone number for pickup.

    or, like pizza pizzas website where you cant even see anything on the site without giving personal information because they want to ‘find the one closet to you’

    like no… you’re trying to charge more for certain neighbourhoods. fek off

      I’m pretty sure it’s because they’re franchises and the franchisees can set their own prices.

      Except for specific price points for advertised specials that they choose to participate in, no pricing is chain wide. So there isn’t really a good solution other than the one they implement.

        This makes sense but then they should give you the option to choose which location rather than forcing you to put your address in.

          The non-malicious reason is so they know which franchise location would make the food that gets delivered to you or which one is closest for pickup. There are also malicious reasons and you might be picking up food somewhere further away which makes the requirement terrible.

      I’ve had been redirected more than once to a fucking google drive for the menu, where it prompted me to log into my account to check the files
