They don't need to hand over the terminals. After you activate Apple Pay, the iPhone will give you 60 seconds to bring the phone near the reader, regardless of whether or not your finger is still on it, meaning you can hand your phone to the guy, have him put it by the reader, then hand it back to you.

Few people know about this, but it's definitely a thing. I've used it many times.
Sure, but I feel like handing a stranger your phone is a bad idea even without the coronavirus floating around. I'm sure there are others who are the same way, too.

We are talking about the "drive through" here folks. Very, very few places have an NFC terminal available at the drive through. Hopefully, adding that capability
will be one of the "market adjustments" made in response to COVID 19.

At the current time, why do you want people to use the physical card for payment? isn't that a way to spread the virus too?

Not like the counter guy is going to run off with it, they do have cameras. I've never been concerned. Not much more risky than giving over your credit card, and ApplePay can't be used once that 60 second period expires, while that card you hand over can be used repeatedly until you disable it (if stolen).
It's not just theft of the physical device but the cashier dropping the phone and breaking it. Plus the possibility of seeing private data from a SMS, etc. notification.

Also, people giving their phones to cashiers makes it less likely stores will actually set themselves up the proper way (by installing customer facing equipment).

I don’t understand. The whole point of the physical card is for retailers that don’t accept Apple Pay. Walgreens has support it for years.
Drive throughs in the US tend not to hand over the terminal for payment, if they're even able to at all. I've never used the Walgreens drive through but I feel like they're one of the ones that aren't able to.

Also, cards are easier to sanitize than cash, so I'm not sure it's that much riskier than using your phone if you actually do sanitize it after handing it to someone.
