McDonalds To Start Taking Credit Cards

[KRL]

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?

[Doctor Dre]

More broke people can eat at mcdo now !

[eroswebmaster]

They already have that here...and it' s not lame it's convenient.

I rarely carry cash with me anymore...I just use the ol' Visa check card.

[JFK]

must be getting desperate

[SS396chevelleSS]

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.

[AnalProbe]

Most fat people will have died from their food before it was paid.

broke ppl dont have cc's

[machinegunkelly]

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

[JamesDotCom]

Had that in Australia for about 2 years now, at least. Damn handy if you ask me :D

[detoxed]

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

[Paul -C-]

You've been able to pay with cards for a few months in the UK

[Fletch XXX]

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.

[jmk]

FINALLY

[kimzar]

they have to get with the times, there probably losing alot of money not having that option

[IPK]

i think the wendy's around here on staten island takes credit cards

Yep 99% of the fast food places here have been setup for credit for years. I hardly ever carry cash.

[Joetanto]

A lot of people use debit cards. at the airport in pheniox you don't even have to sign the slip

No it's ran like any other point of purchase sale...they scan your card give you a keypad you type in your code voila your meal is paid for.

[WPProphet]

It's great for a society that loves to eat at fast food, now you can eat there even if you have no cash on hand. The FAT GET FATTER!

[Paparazzi]

They have been accepting them for years here...

Sure, just like every convenience store, gas station, and liquor shop.

Not sure about McDonald's, but at Wendy's here they take credit cards. My friends use their cards all the time. 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.

i disagree. i used my credit card for everything possible. i dont like carrying as much cash, and i really dont like getting loose change. i dont use it for the credit because i pay it off every month, but its so much easier to use the credit card. not to mention i get 1% cash back in home depot gift certificates.

thats only for debit cards, you sign it for credit cards. but i dont think you have to worry about some burger flipper "getting into your bank account". if he was that smart he wouldnt be working at mcdonalds in the first place. and its not really that hard to do a chargeback if something really does happen.

LOL what does it have to do with fast food and/or with fat people?

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.

[Vanilla DeVille]

They have been doing that at all the McDonald's here in AZ for awhile now. I have to admit, that I have used my debit there a couple times.

[adamneve]

more fatties

for the record.

i dont trust ANY OF THE MOTHER FUCKERS hehe

my girlfriend lost her purse one night when we went out, and we found out later the person had tried to use her ss to get a bank account in another state and shit, very weird things can and do happen.

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.

especially high priced hollywood bartendars too, ivwe had bartendars run 200$ on my card in a night and i only had a 70$ tab! only found out the next day though, good thing i didnt sign it.

McDonalds has always accepted debit cards up here, but so has every store/restaurant. I agree with KRL, if you have to put 99 cents on your Visa, it's time to stop eating and start looking for a better job.

[DreamCumTrue]

Great, now it's going to take even longer to get through the drive thru. Those fuckers with debit cards at the drive thru piss me off. GO TO THE FUCKIN BANK!

did you ever think that some people might not have cash on them or that a credit card is more convenient?

are you serious? have you even charged anything? using a charge card for purchases is faster than paying with cash if anything.

[TheLegacy]

geez.. been doing that in canada for a long time now

because most other fast food places do

i agree, i dont really trust anyone with anything.... but giving them your credit card the worst thing they can do is charge something up and as long as you check your statements (this can be done online) then if you see something you didnt charge you can do a chargeback. you're pretty much taking the same risk using cash with the risk of them short changing you.

mcdonalds might be my choice for lunch soon.mcveggie w/cheese rules!
