Starbucks app controlling my iPhone 14 brightness, reduces it so I can see

Does anyone else use the Starbucks app and experience and instant increase in phone's brightness? THEN, if you don't close the app after they scan your barcode, the brightness lowers so low you can't see anything but a blank screen? This happens all the time. Why does Apple allow apps to control the phones brightness. Starbucks corporate said it's Apple's issue, not theirs. Any help?

If you have feedback for Apple, visit apple.com/feedback. You might also have better success adding your Starbucks card to the wallet wherein brightness is controlled by Apple Wallet and not by a third-party app.

This is my concern. I am aware some apps increase brightness when open, especially boarding passes, however, the Starbucks app, unless I close it immediately- but in a drive through I try to scan and pull out, the app brings down the brightness to the point I can't see anything and have to restart the phone. Apple needs to a add a feature to "allow/not allow third party apps to control brightness"
