Perhaps I'm over sensitive but the idea of touching a screen that random other people have touched isn't exactly appetizing

- williamdclt 8y agoLiterally everything in a city has been touched by random other people
- stevekemp 8y agoOn the plus-side at least people will be touching the screends before they've eaten the greasy food!
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoYou'd think McD's would've made an app by now, working with ibeacons and/or location systems to detect where you're placing the order at, and seamless integration with Apple Pay / Google Wallet. At least that way you wouldn't have to touch the screen. I do hope (assume?) they clean those things several times a day, hygiene rules and such.
- pythonaut_16 8y agoThey do have an app, although it's based on GPS + selecting a location rather than iBeacons. It's actually one of the more interesting challenges of beacon (and QR) adoption; most of the obvious/easy to implement use cases are already well supported by GPS
