I'd rather just talk to a person too, but if I'm able to save some money by ordering through their app, then I'll probably do that.  Also, ordering through their app is often more accurate..  When you talk to someone (especially at a drive-thru via the speaker), sometimes they can hear you wrong and then your order ends up incorrect.

I figure anything you spend still all adds up, and I'd rather save money.

$6 for 2 meals?  I suppose yeah, a long time ago, you could get a fast food meal for around $3 or so, and I wish it was still that cheap.  When I said $9 for 2 meals was cheap, I meant that's cheaper than what they charge without the app & the deal. And that came out to $4.50 per meal, which I think isn't bad.  These days, a fast food meal can often be $10 or more, which I think is a bit ridiculous.  I always used to think fast food tended to be both fast and inexpensive (or at least, could be inexpensive, depending on the items you order).
