solution for card readers being down:

if you’re avoiding places because their card readers are down, try online ordering! you can still pay with card for mobile orders for pickup. at our drive thru we were telling people they can place an order online we would try to have it ready asap AND bring it out to them if they didn’t have cash. i see people on the internet freaking out but you can just put your card info in when you’re placing an online order. still works!
