      By paying for it at the first window. He’s in front of her. He gets to pay, says “I’m paying for me and car behind me. I need both receipts please”

      Goes to second window for pickup. Shows both receipts, gets given both orders.

      Leaves.

            Is that not like only a few $? And that only happens like once in a live time to begin with?

              Not any more. It’s at least $10 for a combo meal these days.

              The real mystery is why you’re getting downvotes.

                I assume people do not like what I say to some topics and downvote me everywhere regardless of what I say. I am fairly sure of this since some replies to me can even be as simple as “you are correct” and have 20 upvotes while I am at 4 or something. Odd but who cares at the end of the day.

                In any case, if you have a car and go to these places and this happens once(!), you can clearly afford it.

        The employees then say ‘this order is for a white sedan’ and then hand you your order and only your order.

        McDonald’s doesn’t provide receipts at the first window, they provide them at the second along with your food.

        They don’t even have a receipt printer at the first window.

          I’ve definitely gotten receipts from either window I’m pretty sure. Hell sometimes you pay and receive at the same window and one window isn’t even being used.

          The McDonalds near my house works as I’ve written. I hand them a card, they ask if I want a receipt, they hand me back my card and the receipt.

              Yes. It’s how it works with most restaurants here as well. Hand it to them, they leave and return with the thing to sign and the card. Or in the case of drive throughs, the card and the receipt.

                It’s weird to hear for a lot of us Europeans because most people here don’t use credit cards (so you’re out of your own money if fraud happens) and also all cards have been chip and pin for a few decades now, we don’t do this signing thing

                  Most cards here have the chip, I think. You mean how to put the card next to a reader and it goes beep, yeah? Those are available, but for some reason restaurants and drive through food places just…don’t do that? The only place I think that uses the tap part is something like Red Robin, a fast casual burger place. They have machines on the table you can tap. But for the most part you hand the card and the check/slip to the server, they disappear, return with a thing to sign and your card. But from my understanding it’s pretty easy to do chargebacks on the card or the like if someone were to charge extra or the like. But part of the reason for handing you something to sign is because you also can put the tip on there, being in the USA.

                    Yeah our cards don’t generally have a pinless option except for the tap to pay thing. If the waiter disappears with your card, they’re limited to 50 euros without a pin for tap to pay, the magnetic strip is only used for ATMs and not payments

              Yes? One of the biggest benefits of a credit card is the charge back option for fraud. (Not pro credit card… Just pointing out this feature)

          The receipt printer is hooked up to the computer with the card swiper, which would be at the first window, in the case of my location.
