Please recall the recent announcement that algorithms have surpassed human fidelity in facial recognition. On top of that recall a somewhat overlooked NSA/CIA/DIA project called TRAPWIRE that taps into all surveillance systems to allow facial recognition triggered surveillance. Now take a look at those cameras in the McDonalds drive-through that are perfectly trained on your face and will also capture your license plate as you drive up. There is no legitimate reason that warrants that at McDonalds. It obviously is a factor at all kinds of places like ATMs and store surveillance, but I could easily see how McDonalds would be a great partner to roll out the system; global reach, cultural draw, nourishment (somewhat), driver-vehicle association, etc.

Really its not about how and where we will be recorded - the answer is everyhow and everywhere. The problem is what can someone do with that information, and how do I know they are doing it?
