McDonald’s Employee Reveals Why Drive-Thru Customers Are Caught On Camera

When was the last time you were at the McDonald’s drive-thru? Well, when you next swing by for a Big Mac, you’ll want to be on your best behavior. Shockingly, the fast food joint snaps a photo of every single customer in line. That includes you, too! And now an employee has revealed why.

That’s right. At any one of the over 13,000 McDonald's restaurants across the U.S., you’ll be caught on camera. Remember that next time you see the golden arches shining like a beacon, beckoning you to pull over for a meal or a treat.

It’s weird, though. When you pull up to the outdoor menu, you can see a microphone, a speaker, and perhaps a screen that shows your order as you give it. There’s not a camera on you – at least, not one you’ve noticed before.

So, next time you have a craving for a McRib or a McFlurry, you may think twice before pulling up. And if you do give in to temptation, you’ll be wondering where the camera is. But thanks to that helpful employee, at least you won’t have to guess why you’re getting your picture taken!

You probably have a few ideas why McDonald’s has cameras on its guests. Most businesses have security systems in place, after all. You may even notice cameras around the outside of your local Mickey D’s. But these aren’t the ones taking a snap of you at the drive-thru.
