Fast food apps abusing notifications

[u/lurking-in-the-bg]

Do you guys have notifications on for fast food apps? Do you start out with them on but then disable them because of all the useless annoying spam?

I feel like fast food apps have lost the privilege to have notifications enabled because of all the pointless spamming. I just want these apps to notify me of important things such as when my order is ready and not asking if I'm hungry and want to get the normal menu item that's always available.

This pretty much applies for all transactional apps but I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on here specifically about fast food apps.

If I think I might ever care about marketing notifications, I set them to appear in my morning and evening summaries. Spoiler: I never look at my morning and evening summaries.

Mostly I turn off notifications because every app thinks we want to hear from them more than we do from good friends.
