Okay, no offense, but that wasn't smart. Don't assume that a place accepts Apple Pay if you've never used it there before!
the first time I started using Apple Pay, I went through that same scenario. I was at a site in Illinois for a few weeks in the middle of winter and boy did they hate having to do that for me every time I drove through there. haha
that reminds me.. in the past, I've had a new CC automatically sent to me in the mail due to some charges that my bank tracked as odd. it turned out that it was someone from a McDonald's that was using my card info.
Why is drive thru a completely different story?
It is not rocket science!! It's so easy a baby could do it.
We get it you are an Apple Pay god, now enjoy the rest of your day. With IOS 10 on my 6S plus yesterday at an Apple Store my card wouldn't pop up, sales guy got another reader same thing. I had to open wallet for it to work. Haven't tried since so we shall see.Why is drive thru a completely different story?
It's not like they have different technology in the drive thru.
It's all the same crap!
On other side of that very same coin, SO WHAT if the employee doesn't know what to do? THATS THE POINT. THEY don't do anything!!
I guarantee, put your phone on the terminal and you're done. If you can't help but speak, put tape on your mouth.
Open that wallet app. With your finger ALREADY resting on that home button, your finger has already been scanned: it's ready to go. Just TAP TO PAY!
ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!
No conversation between the cashier and you needs to take place. You don't have to say a word. By speaking, you're probably confusing them more than anything.
You've got 2 options: You can hand them that card or that phone. It's your choice.
Those payment terminals are made to be pushed out of the window.
I HAVE paid at McDonalds drive thru with Apple Pay, and I DON'T carry my wallet nearly as often as I used to. If at all!!!
Just hand. Them. The phone.
Even if the cashier doesn't know what's going on, hell, they'll probably do it the right way by accident. It's that easy.
You're in control.
Lol, sorry this sounds overbearing but I'm just being funny. But really, Apple made it so easy for you. You can't make any complaints about Apple Pay. You can't. Apple eliminated all that. It's just too easy. And the OP will realize that on her second use. That's why people immediately told her that the problem was with McDonalds.

Even for the chicken McNuggets though?
Should just have to hold the phone up to an NFC reader, or double click the Home button.
My first experience was similar, but I already had my credit card out and ready to go as a backup because I was afraid it wouldn't work... which it didn't. I've tried it three times, one of which was successful. I'm surprised it's caught on so well because I don't find it easier than using a credit card.
