    McDonalds To Start Taking Credit Cards

    McDonald's announced you'll be able to pay for meals using credit and debit cards now at their 13,600 restaurants.

    Pretty lame if you have to charge .99 cents fries.

    Wonder why they did that?

          They will make soo much more, Taco bell already accepts debit cards. Think about it, you want a burger but dont have cash on ya... dont wanna run o the bank... makes it easy... eventually it will seem odd to pay with cash, you all will see.

                                  The one near my office gets a ton of fatties. They really load up on the burgers.

                                        like the fuckin idiots would even be able to run that whole process effectively ..

                                        I went in last week and showed them a bank card and it was a full out code blue emergency ... total panic cause the bitch couldnt use the machine properly ..

                                        I ended up telling her to fuck off and went to the bank .

                                        edit LOL reminds me of

                                        When I was 18 I was almost charged with assault following a mcdonalds run in ..

                                        I had ordered a Happy meal for my girlfriend at the time , and I sat there and watched the guy just stand like a chump for like 4 minutes as my order just sat there .. so I slapped him in the head and yelled " WAKE THE FUCK UP JAMTART " you shoulda seen this idiot too .. just the look of him is what caused me to do that I think . complete retard

                                        didnt go over well .. police , restraining orders , but luckily no charges

                                            They already do it here too, I guess its up to the individual owner now, but they are making it mandatory?

                                                so everyday mcdonalds employees now potentially have access to people entire bank account by charging some fries if you use a check card?

                                                i wouldnt trust some of these people with that info.

I find it hilarious, but whatevers convenient I guess. I'll never use it, I'm cash only as far as offline purchases go. But then again, I do buy almost everything online.

                                                                          It's about convenience in shopping, it's about pulling in more cash for the companies who now provide this..it's fucking business.

                                                                          Just about every place of business accepts credit cards, and more every day are accepting check cards..so what's the big deal with McDonald's doing it...seriously people need some bigger news in their lives...LOL

                                                                              I managed for Taco Bell for 7 years...of course there weren't always the brightest bulbs there, but most of it were just kids who didn't really care.

                                                                              Anyway my point is this...people worry about a 16 year old stealing their credit card information, however they just gladly hand over their card to the waiter at Chilis...let me just break it to you people...he/she is not much older or smarter.

                                                                                    When i was 20 and got my first "checking account" the bank sent the ard to me in the mail activated and i had my account cleared, sure it was refunded but the damage was done.

                                                                                    i dont TRUST ANY ONE I GIVE MY CARD TO.
