This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Lol restaurants don't have time for that shit. Who would buy that kind of data from a restaurant anyway? Even if you had more than 200 applicants a month that would probably net you less than $10.

If it's a chain I could definitely see corporate setting up some automated system to do that.

doesn't need a chain. many companies save money offloading the application process to an external website, and that one manages it for a lot of different companies and then sells your data

But then the restaurant would be paying for that service, not making money from it. They probably wouldn't even be aware the data was being sold.
