Too lazy to actual tell the pimple-faced teenager behind the counter that you want a Big Mac? Too lazy to actually take out your wallet? Worry no longer, because McDonald’s is catering to your laziness. At least, if you’re in South Korea.

McDonald’s Restaurants in South Korea are getting outfitted with a funky system that allows customers to place their order simply by pointing their cell phones at the items they want. This is done by plugging an RFID reader into your mobile, and then the actual payment is processed through your handset as well, showing up on your cell phone bill at the end of the month.

Fat and lazy just went to a whole new technological level.
