I just cut my own hair.

But yeah, this trend is frustrating. When I get food from Jimmy Johns or a handful of other quick meal places, they bring up the app every single time. Yeah, I could get a free sandwich or whatever occasionally, but I really don't want yet another app on my device. If that choice resulted in a worse experience, I'd find a different service.
