The simple answer is that you really can use Apple Pay at McDonald's. You cannot, however, use PayPal with Apple Pay because Apple Pay does not currently support it.

To use Apple Pay in-store, simply place your order and show the cashier with your iOS device, where you can then scan just on a contactless reader to pay.
