Thats awesome. I've been an Area Supervisor for the last 9 years. Recently promoted to Director of Operations for a 9 store Owner/Operator. Started in highschool and worked my way up, pretty fast at that. Its a very viable career choice if one is willing to put the effort and care into the job.
Right. How about WalMart workers or the rest of the working poor? Is everybody supposed to get the job you have sitting on your fat @$$ complaining about other people making a living wage?
I work at McDonald's. Just tell them you're paying with your card and then hold your phone over the card reader. Every McDonald's with these card readers can do it, they do not differentiate on the register screen between credit/debit and using Apple Pay or any other NFC payment method.
Please tell me which part of my post suggested in any way I was suffering an injustice? Whatever makes you feel better.
I used it on Monday the day it came out. I saw they had a NFC reader so without mentioning of Apple Pay, I laid my phone near the reader and it took it.
Half the jobs in this world were never meant to be careers yet people do them. I used to work at a Pizza Hut where some of the drivers were there for 20+ years. They do it because it pays well through tips and it pays their bills. A job is a job. Some of those guys paid mortgages on that job.
Why should I use my debit card when the phone works just the same? I've used it in several stores and never asked if they excepted it. I just put it up to the terminal and paid. Today I left my debit card at home because my wife lost hers and needed the card and was i able to buy gas and a drink from Walgreens. In the past I would have had to go to the bank to take out cash. Today I didn't have to worry about not having any money.
LOL read what you wrote pal. But hey, if that's your only takeaway from this thread then I'm not sure what to say.
Oh, so you can't cite anything I said. Ok.
Nothing I wrote suggested what you said, nor is it how I feel.
Are you waiting for me to quote you? Don't be weird. Read this thread, you're discontent is seriously misguided.
She loves to start fights here and I have been MR member (different names, too) since mid-2000 and in those cases, don't fight against them.
I can see you're right.
I'm not waiting because there's nothing for you to quote.
yeah there's only a finite number of skilled (read: well paying jobs) and more humans to fill those jobs. So let's hypothetically have it that every non-teen employee of fast food gets some kind of skill set to get them a better career, where are all these extra jobs going to come from?
One of the largest growing numbers of fast food employees; the elderly.
I was originally jefhatfield and second oldest remaining MR member (from June 2000) and I finally changed it to 63dot some years back so I have just the 63dot account these days as all we can now have is one account.
GoCubsGo was jessica.
Many older members here have had different names but for a long time now it's been pretty stable with people hanging onto their monikers.
That being said, I do agree with GoCubsGo/jessica about 99% percent of the time on most issues both political and/or Apple related, but not so much when it becomes a flamewar.

So did they hold out a nfc terminal? Just trying to figure out how the drive thru process works
You are paying with Apple Pay, but to them you are just paying with a standard of NFC payment... so whether or not they take NFC payments is all that matters. You shouldn't have to ask to pay with apple pay, you just put your phone to the terminal and that's it. If you don't have access to the terminal, you can't pay with your phone.

Oh gotcha, right I think her name was iamjessica or something wasn't it? I think I saw that back when I was lurking, or maybe around the time I joined.
I tried using it twice at McDonalds it worked the first time that was on the same day apple pay released and the second time I tried it I was in the drive threw but it seemed they were confused so it seems to work better inside then drive threw.
Yes they did. I went to another McD around 3 am and they said it was attached to their POS so they couldn't hang it out the window.
All McD should have the feature to hold it out for the consumer though
