Apple’s new Apple Pay mobile payments system will soon be here, and will be supported by a number of retailers and restaurants, including McDonald’s, who will even accept payment from your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus at the drive-thru.
The process of paying with your $650+ smartphone at a fast food drive through could potentially be risky if you have to hand over your iPhone to the window attendant, but McDonald’s training materials (received by 9to5Mac and seen above) for accepting mobile payments including Apple Pay show employees instead extending card readers to customers from the drive through window.
This seems like it will be convenient, but will likely take some getting used to for both McDonald’s customers and employees alike. The future is here folks, we might as well get used to it.
