How do you use Contactless in McDonalds ?

  • I love contactless (I hate, HATE coins. I know most of you don't wash ;) ) How many men don't wash their bits, then fumble change. Yuk.

    And I have McDonalds almost every day. No fries, no fizzy drink. Just the burgers, and I am an Adonis ;) So much cr4p talked about McDs, its your entire consumption + Lifestyle not the fault of a fast food restaurant. No one forces anyone to eat there. No personal responsibility :) Oh yeah, sorry (puts soapbox away) love Contactless, no jangly pockets FTW!

    Or even better, play with their bits and then fumble change :D

    I hate paying with cash for that reason. Walk in McDs, wash hands, order food, pay with cash, receive change, pick up tray, then I sit down and feel unclean.

    But the local McDs is the worst. Wash hands there, and then have to pull open the door to get back into the restaurant. Who knows what that handle has on it. Probably better not to wash in the first place!

    Still carry cash though. If I'm buying something 99p and they only have CNP, I prefer to toss them a £1 coin than getting out my card. I also find it difficult to pay friends and family using contactless. They typically don't have appropriate terminals.

    Simple answer to this is to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you. That way you can wash your hands and not touch any handles on doors when going to the bathroom just to wash your hands!!!
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    So you use the hand sanitizer to open the door instead of touching the handle directly? Nice idea.
