I would be willing to wager that greater than 99% of people have never used the McDonald’s app to order anything. Perhaps you could elaborate?

It seems like it is a dark pattern to encourage you to order more items. It is extremely irritating when you just want to order one item.

That’s a conclusion, not an elaboration. Perhaps you can start at the beginning, and describe what steps must be taken to complete an order for a diet coke?

If you are interested enough to read someone else's experience, might I suggest downloading the free program yourself and investigating?

It doesn't work well for me because of payment issues, but putting together an order seems to work.
