Yup - the lady at the local KFC yesterday stuck the card reader out the window and asked me to swipe my card myself for payment. Makes sense - paper money is notoriously dirty.
Best to, if possible, order ahead and pay via app. No contact payment.
They gave me a laugh... because they put the bag of food on a tray and then hold the tray out as far as possible and then have you grab it.
Makes me feel like I have the Bubonic plague.

Chic-Fil-a is doing something similar.
Lady was standing outside. When I got to her, she held up the card reader and I reached out the window and put the card in.
Been doing that in more and more stores over the last two years. It’s why the signs outside say “CREDIT ONLY”.
Seems like an increasingly popular trend. Thing is, I go to the pastry shop in the morning and order one pastry, that’s like an approx. $5.00 charge. Normally, I simply would not get out the credit card for a $5.00 charge.
