It’s a drive through not a congressional debate!
Ok.. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had to deal with this so I am pretty sure you all will agree..
What is the purpose of the drive through at a fast food establishment? To be “FAST” right? Hence the emphasis on “Fast Food”. Ok so if you have no idea what you want, go inside so you can peruse the menu and decide what you want and then step in line. Ok granted we’re all guilty of rolling up at the drive through speaker and go “I want a…wait a min..hrmm, that looks good too..” and now even though we’ve had our mind set on what we wanted to eat the fact that we are faced with a multitude of possibilities has completely obliterated our original idea. Ok so given that reality, I cut the lady some slack and sit patiently in my car hoping that it doesn’t overheat and I’m able to order my food sometime before the next ice age.
So the lady starts ordering enough things to feed half of a football team, cancels part of it, then asks what comes with each meal and if she can substitute this for this and that for that…probably confusing the everlivingshit out of the guy behind the speaker. …and get this…all while staring in her driver side mirror looking back at me with this evil look on her face. At this point i wanted to just ram into the back of her car and push her out of the way because it was clear she was doing it on purpose. So after debating with the drive through guy for what seemed to be fortnight she finally completes her order, I could tell she was pissed because she couldn’t get half of the things she wanted. He gives her the total so I begin prepare to engage my vehicle into a forward motion and approach the speaker however I am denied said forward movement as her vehicle blocks my path still. She sits there looking at the menu a little bit longer and then sits there in her car while staring at me through her driver side mirror with this wickedly evil look on her face. Who knew I would encounter my nemesis in an Arby’s drive through. Finally she pulls up (ever so slowly of course and I was debating on giving her a “push” to help her out and use the “I’m sorry, but I thought you were having car trouble and needed a push” excuse. I pull up, glanced across the menu, quickly chose what I wanted, ordered, received my total and proceeded around the corner. That’s how drive throughs are meant to be!
So we meet again….
So I drive around the corner and guess what she’s at the window DOING IT AGAIN! Asking every possible question known to man, questions that is clearly annoying the hell out of the employee working the drive through. So she finally gets her food and yep…you guessed it. She SITS there and inspects every single bag, every single food item, almost like she’s inspecting it down to every single curly fry. After she finishes the investigation of her food items, she sits there. Seriously?!? What more could you possibly need to do in a drive through?!?! You’ve already exceeded the maximum allotted drive through time 10 fold. Eventually she drives off, not before staring me down in her driver side mirror as if she was trying to blast me with laser beams from her eyes. I don’t know the lady but if we so happen to encounter each other again I believe that drive through is going to turn into an episode of Vehicular Thunderdome!
TWO CARS ENTER!!! ONE CAR LEAVE!!!
