Slow moving drive thru!!!!

[JTsyo]

Trouble with the drive through is that it is a serial process while inside is a parallel one. If there's one guy, whose order takes long then everyone has to wait (though I've had them tell me to park and they'll bring it out). At the counter there are usually a few registers.

I dont go into the drive through if there are more than 2 cars in front of me.

Wait it out. Any good manager will give you a free meal card. And if they don't, call the number on the receipt and get one yourself.

Also, your fries will be hot.

Hehe, but you were thinking about it weren't ya?😀 I waited in line at TB only to be told "we're out of beef", huh, how the F does that happen?, I just drove off in disgust.

Most places have barriers so you CAN'T leave until the cars in front of you have gone through. At that point you might as well pay for the food you ordered.

I worked at one when I was in high school. I still get ticked when it takes too long though.

Not around these parts.

I do not use drive thrus. Ever.

I have it in my head that it's bad to stop and start your car all the time so drive-thrus it is. I hate that my local bank doesn't have a drive-thru ATM, but the one another mile away does. The Taco Bell here also didn't have a drivethru because of their corner location and very limited space so they actually packed up and moved a half block away to build one in. Drive-thrus rule.

There was a cop in Denver a few weeks ago who decided to vent rather than drive off.

Cop at McDonalds gets fed up

I've never seen where they purposely barrier you in. Most times there's trees and or a curb because it's actually the side of their property already - fence or grass. I hate those curbs though because a lot of times it isn't particularly wide and if you have wide tires / spacers then you're going to curb your rim if not careful.

I think I've waited nearly 40 mins at In and Out's drive thru once. And you can't escape either.

That's why I always go inside the store (if possible), I hate burning gas to avoid walking 20 feet. Also you can check your order much easier than at the window where thoroughly checking your order would mean further delaying those waiting in line..

There was something about that In and Out (the one in Westwood, CA) that made it the slowest frickin In and Out known to mankind. Maybe it is all the college students making ridiculous orders, but the one in Hollywood was twice as fast.

Wow, you mustve really been ticked off at the service. LMFAO

Meh, just wait it out. I usually find that whenever I say "fuck it" and leave, my stuff is ready immediately after I'm gone.
