A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

It just isn't gamification to distribute coupons digitally though. That isn't what gamification is.

I'm not trying to suggest that distributing the coupons digitally is the gamification, I'm arguing that the shift to app only coupons and 'rewards' and 'app exclusive deals' overall is a form of gamification.

You're boasting about how you min-maxxed their system, you're gonna tell me that they didn't find a way to lure you in with a bit of dopamine when you think you've found a hack?

I remember a couple years back the limit to app coupons was once per day and they've changed it to 15 minutes. All of these coupon restrictions are arbitrary, they control the whole system.

20% off $20
Free X after Y team won
Tuesday only deal, free fries friday

A set of rules that can be applied. takes advantage of human desire to optimize. sounds like gamification to me

"Boasting" Jesus, you all cannot argue in good faith.

All of these coupon restrictions are arbitrary, they control the whole system.

Lemmy user discovers what a coupon is, more at 7

Again, none of this is my original argument. Go email McDonalds. My point is that I want to know OP's order, because no way is a normal order $22 especially with their coupons. All of your weird other arguments and stories are you barking at the wind, because you certainly aren't discussing the original topic or anything I have said. Ya fucking weirdo
