    That kind of shit is discriminatory against those who especially need those discounts, who may not even be able to afford a smartphone, or even Internet access.

    It’s like those McCafe stickers you could collect to eventually get a free coffee, now it’s all done through the McD app…

      It’s also annoying af for me, because my local Safeways are all dead zones for cell and WiFi service. So you try to scan the stupid little barcode and then it just spins and spins and you still have to pay full price for the fucking can of beans. I fucking hate Safeway.
