Select McDonald's locations in Europe and now the USA have begun installing iPads for customers use, reports hamptonroads.com.

At the newest McDonald's in Hampton Roads, in addition to the tried-and-true Big Mac and Egg McMuffin, customers will find an offering that they won't see at any other of the fast-food chain's U.S. locations: iPads they can use for free.

The popular Apple tablets perch on white stands at four tables, one of which holds two screens back-to-back. Customers can check Facebook pages, play a game or shop online while they dine.

"It's a great idea to stay relevant, especially to a new generation," said Hugh Fard, who opened the Lynnhaven Parkway restaurant about a week ago and owns 11 other McDonald's in Virginia Beach. "People like to multitask, so why not provide that element for them?"

Fard came up with the idea while attending the annual worldwide McDonald's convention in Florida where he learned that about 20 locations in Europe have already installed iPads.

Check out some photos of the installation below...

How often do they wipe the ipads down?
I wouldn't touch the damn thing if there's greasy fingerprints or food on it!

Plus, I wouldn't be caught dead in a McDonalds. That's where all of the low lifes go. There and Wal-Mart.
