I work for a company who is working with both MasterCard and Visa regarding this technology.
If you only have one of these cards (which we refer to as RFID, although apparently they are not) then all you have to do is place your wallet on the reader. In my testing at one of our retail locations (we all got cards with $20 or so on them) I actually found it easier and more reliable when I left the card in my wallet, probably because my expectation was lower so I tapped more carefully.
I'm aware of Isuzu selling the S10 (Chevy compact pickup) as an Isuzu "pup" but not aware of Chevy selling an Isuzu. Suzuki and Toyota, sure, but not Isuzu.
A company I worked for in '90 - '92 or so came real close to going out of business doing somewhat less than this for Delta for the MD-11.
DOS 386-SX computers driving the displays, a mighty SCO 486-25 for all the flight sim, and z-80's running all the switches and blinken-lights.
On, the the aircraft flight simulator? Paid BAE to deliver Flight Simulator ported from ASM to C.

I'm sorry, McD's and Burger King is not micropayments. They are small charges, but they probably average $5 - 10 on a credit-card paid order.
In general credit is a time saver for them, because it's easier to swipe a card than to fumble with real paper and coin money.
And, as you correctly pointed out, time is money in the fast food business.
