Had the same at a McDonald's in Boston. They even called the manager to show him what happened. Turned out that no one working there was aware that they had contactless functions, despite the advertisement at the machine.
- Ambroos 9y agoI even get that in Belgium. And the occasional cashier that double-checks the terminal's ticket/output because they suspect the transaction is invalid because "as far as they know contactless doesn't work".
- mark-r 9y agoI think McDonald's was the first time I ever encountered a contactless terminal. It goes much faster than inserting the chip for some reason.
- dx034 9y agoI love the system and like that it's being used extensively in some countries (e.g. UK) and becoming more prevalent in others (e.g. Germany). What's annoying are the differences in rules. In the UK it only works up to £30 (but terminals show the logo for any amount), in Spain it will work but I'll have to enter a PIN for higher amounts, other countries have completely different rules around that.
