Well, all you micky-D haters, NOW how do you feel? Taking away funds from Ronald McDonald House. For shame.

 

Seriously, that changes the equation. I went last week to use a $5=free offer. Will have to venture back now to see how this "pay with points" works.... I guess I won't be able to use Apple Pay this time... which would have been only the second time.

It was the first check out terminal I found that actually handles Apple Pay. It works well, but the whole "leave your credit cards at home" idea is years away from realization.

i don't think it was turned on because i have used it before and the nfc gets picked up almost immediately. I did use it at cvs before apple pay came out and it worked fine , thought to myself that was hella easy.

Gross?  I'd love to see pictures of the people who keep putting Mac food down... and what choices they really make in real life...

 

Mac food is good to have once in a while, and if you work out, your fitness shouldn't be altered one bit.

 

 


Just to add to your picture of me, I'm a vegan (really) so McDonalds really isn't suitable.    And while one meal every now and then won't harm your health, that's a very low threshold.  No redeeming nutrional value.

Yes, I had trouble giving up eating babies (milk-fed, yum!!) but the police pressure made me have to compromise.
