<p>I highly doubt you'll be getting a "fabulous" drink from a McDonalds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I simply press the lid on and run a fingertip around the entire rim (nowhere near the sipping hole on the raised part of the lid) before handing it to the customer to make sure it's sealed. This takes just a few seconds... I will add that before preparing each drink I sanitize my hands. I personally don't like using the stuff constantly, but I'd say it adds peace of mind for the customer.<br></br><br></br><cite>Ron…</cite></p>

<p>Thank you John. While this does not look like the one I saw at McD, i am sure it will work well.</p>
<p>I have contacted them to get more information and will share the info with the group (in case anyone</p>
<p>else is interested).</p>

An item in day one training when I started was the proper way to handle and install a lid. If you do it correctly you never touch the part where the customer drinks. If you are unable to master this little maneuver, I question how it is possible to do more complicated things, like make an espresso, steam milk, tie your shoe, etc. "If I wanted something your f…tag:www.baristaexchange.com,2009-12-16:1688216:Comment:7222322009-12-16T05:10:42.017ZJarred Hoffpauirhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/JarredHoffpauir

I like the idea and see no downside for most shops. I do however often buy coffee from shops that practice coffee art and its a shame to cover the art with a lid.

John, I would love to try out your version. Just let me know when its ready, and I'll send off a check with my shipping address.<br />
<br />
I have been keeping an eye on the local McD's (there are 4 of them within 20 minutes of me) and all continue to use the lid applicator.<br />
