Hopefully this starts happening more often at McDonald's in general.
BTW, this one didn't seem to have the new mount that was previously reported to be rolling out.
I think a low cost solution to mount outside the window to support NFC should do the trick for these fast food places. Something like the little Square reader that does NFC and EMV. Similar to but smaller than what Jack in the Box had 15 years ago...
Now for swipe cards I guess those can still go through the window.
