A quick note: #arbitration was created to help manage large, complex, commercial issues between parties of _like power_ (e.g. GiantCorpA vs GiantCorpB).

Now it is used by megacorps to take away consumer rights (e.g. GiantCorpA-through-Z vs individual consumer).

Just something to keep in mind when **all of this** is over and we are re-building.

Not just Shake Shack. This is on the trend of companies, including #FastFood, to force app users into arbitration if shit happens, depriving you of your rights to seek redress in courts. It is #corruption and #fuckery pure and simple.
