American Fast food does seem to be more edible though :P Fish and Chips is the only decent sort of fast food in the UK.
I'm not sure American and British fast food are any different? I mean you don't have Taco Bell but that's the only real difference I can think of. I do love Taco Bell cause it's so cheap, but that's not a huge difference overall.
£1 free for using contactless? Dang I wish there was stuff like that here. We don't even really have contactless in the US. A few credit cards have it but not very many anymore (a few years ago it was much more common). I have Google Wallet on my phone, but VERY few phones have that. McDonald's, Macy's, Sports Authority, most Home Depots, and a handful of other places in theory take contactless payments - MOST contactless terminals out there (Old Navy, Best Buy, Staples, Walgreens, etc) are, like most EMV terminals, disabled and set to swipe only.
Macy's is the really interesting one - if you use contactless here, you will crash the register! Of course, same thing with Walmart gift cards at Walmart in the self check lanes (maybe fixed, they've taken down the signs warning you not to use gift cards).
