For the love of anything holy. Then they'll require to install a shitty app to shop at the grocery store in the first place. No, thank you

I shop at Jewel (which is currently under threat of being taken over by Kroger) and they're now doing this thing where there will be, for instance, peaches, under a huge sign showing an incredible deal. Then you look at it and realize that the price isn't discounted at all unless you install a "Jewel App" and use it to "claim" a "digital coupon."

Kroger also does that :(

At least with Kroger you don't have to have the app, you can use their website for everything
