Aaron van Wirdum, Bitcoin Magazine journalist was not expecting that BTC payment infrastructure would not be available from day one, he shared on twitter:
“Just walked into a McDonald’s in San Salvador to see if I could pay for my breakfast with bitcoin, tbh fully expecting to be told no.
But low and behold, they printed a ticket with QR that took me to a webpage with Lightning invoice, and now I’m enjoying my desayuno traditional”
