I’m currently waffling on whether or not to use my bank account info with the app for a small gas station chain. It would get me a $0.10 discount per gallon, but I’d have to use the app at the pump. I get that they’d save fees with credit card processors so that’s why they’re offering it, but using a credit card is so much less effort and doesn’t require me to keep yet another app on my phone.
Get a Costco membership then get gas at Costco with the Costco Visa. Sure, they know everything about you, but at least it’s a single company and you’re not giving them direct access to your actual bank account.
I drove all the way from Chicagoland to around Pensacola and back, only got gas at Costcos along the way. Saved probably $20 just in price difference between Costco and other nearby stations, while also earning 4% back on the Visa.
there’s like 10 around me (washington DC) within 20 miles, but the amount of shoppers, it’s insane and more headache sometimes. bj’s is a good alternative if they’re around you.
I find with a lot of apps like that they’re glorified web browsers, which means that most of the time you can just use their mobile site. One less app collecting data, draining battery etc
I still get cheap coffee there. The other day, the drive through person asked if I have installed the app yet. I awkwardly replied “no”. It was a hard push.
But how else are they going to complete their digital transformation and leverage their industry-leading customer volume to deliver high-quality consumer data and drive growth for shareholders? Why don’t you care about the shareholders?!
I think they did something to throttle user access. I was using it once 3-4 times a week. Either just the Friday fries or a drink for $1. Now I can’t log in anymore. Seems to me like they wanted to stop people from using it.
it’s literally one of the worst experiences of any app. it’s SLOW as fuck, barely responds when you touch stuff, took weeks to get logged back in like you said you had issues with. some of the deals are ok, you can get chicken sandwich combo sometimes for like $6, but that’s about it. their chicken sands aren’t bad.
Here’s the problem. How to get the average person to think far enough into the future to understand why the data collection is almost always a bad thing for them.
In most cases it will save you in the long run to avoid the app discounts than to use them.
Democrats always looking for a way to out virtue each other. I mean the cause is extremely important but how about teaming up to get Kamala elected before you start tearing her down?

There are multiple examples of casinos across the street from one another that remain profitable and in business going back decades, so I think there’s more to it than just location…
Oregonian here. There’s currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.
Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you’re the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters
from where im at, five guys is an easy $20-25/meal, burgers starting around $10-12 before fries & drink. rather find a bbq place and get pulled pork and mashed potatoes.
Didnt five guys double their prices? I understand they CAN make good burgers, although they won’t cook them to the right temperature for me (back when I did eat meat) for safety reasons, but is it worth it?

… using cadmium (also toxic) :
“The proposed method involves irradiating visible LED light onto cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals and copper-doped CdS (Cu-CdS) nanocrystals with surface ligands of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) in a solution containing PFAS, FPs, and triethanolamine (TEOA).”
I think elemental cadmium is toxic, I’m not sure CdS is. It is used in many many light detecting circuits. I think the CdS is used as a catalyst here anyway, so not depleted in use.
Cadmium sulfide is toxic, especially dangerous when inhaled as dust, and cadmium compounds in general are classified as carcinogenic. (…) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_sulfide
ideally you will hope to have a process in which this powder will be supported on a stable substrate … but eventually, if you don’t use pure water, any impurity can have any chemical composition … so, if you are working in the real world with a mix of unknown soup, you will end up with chemical reactions … especially if there is some acids you will leach out the cadmium as soluble compounds or you may get fragmentation and powder coming out, going to the environment, pickied up by wind, creating dust in the air (…) .
Still, the process might be viable if well controlled and if the gain by eliminating PFAS is great enough.
P.S. this process involves liberation of fluoride so you will get :
Cadmium fluoride : Solubility in water 4.35 g/100 ml en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_fluoride
