Went to Steak 'n Shake yesterday and paid with Lightning.
Went pretty seamless: the cashier brought out a separate tablet with a QR code on it. I scanned it and send, it confirmed instantly and we were done.
They said that I was one of the fastest to pay (I've done this may times before), and everyone else who tried it fumbled around for a few minutes before getting it right.
I used @PhoenixWallet, the best semi-noncustodial Lightning wallet and it worked fine.
This felt a lot like paying with crypto at small merchants over the past decade, only this was a major chain, though few locations are set up to take it yet.
Ran into other Bitcoiners who also paid there, they mostly used Wallet of Satoshi (fully-custodial) or Phoenix.
This feels like where we could have been in 2016 if Bitcoin had scaled on-chain. But still, adoption is adoption.
Go try it out! Way better than fiat.
