Our country is getting lazier, more fat people :lol:
I'd rather go in and get my own groceries using my two feet and pushing a cart than using four wheels and sitting behind the wheel.

But it's so wonderfully American. It's as American as guns, Christian fundamentalism and apple pie. :P
-
LOL, I take it a car is seen as the basic need for people there. Even before food, water, shelter and sleep.
Indeed, so caricatural American.
Waiting for a big Michael Moore footage of this phenomenon.
The people working in this shop are working in the midst of carfumes all the time. Yuk.
But at least they get the chance to walk around.

There's tons of these in California. Of course, here you can get drive-thru anything--beer, cigs, groceries, bullets, pussy, drugs...It's a buyer's market.

So curious about some of the items on your list. :evillaugh:

Me too.

There was a store like that in my old town I lived in for eight years. You could drive up and buy beer or cigarettes or cigars, candy, drinks. You could also go inside and look around.
-
There's a drive through liquor store here and several drive through pharmacies, but no drive through grocery store.
It could be good for people who have trouble walking. Soon after I sprained my ankle, I would have loved to have been able to buy a few groceries without having to get out of the car.
-
We had drive up liqueur stores in Fla
-
It gets too cold here for anything like that. Plus everyone would laugh at you.
-
Well I know what it would be like to have drive thru malls... :zoinks:

Cool. 8)
A. Waiting 10 minutes behind someone sniffing exhast fumes.
or
B. Waiting 10 minutes behind someone marinated in some god-awful perfume, freezing my ass off in an over air-conditioned store surrounded by screaming kids and some jackass playing with a floor buffer while they run a price check on a packet of kool-aid. Then finding out some nitwit has rammed a shopping cart into the side of my ride while I was inside.
I'll take A.
Shopping sucks. :zombiefuck:

We can just get hamburgers and pussy drive-thru in Sweden. Well, pussy is illegal, of course, but it's still possible to get in the biggest cities.

I wouldn't be able to stand it. I'd rather pick my own stuff.

With drive through, there is all this pressure to do everything in a timely fashion, like deciding what you want then and there, even if 5 mins ago you knew exactly what you wanted.
The drive through menu and microphone/speaker bitch have this magical power to erase you mind.

Don't you mean... their own minds and fuck your clearly voiced order up? You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've experienced them fuck up an order at McDonald's, KFC or Burger King.

If I worked there and got paid what they get paid, I wouldn't give a shit either.
What, you wanted a grilled chicken? I can't find that button on the register. Fuck it, you're getting a big mac. Supersized too, fuckers.

Fair enough. :laugh:

Except when they lose their job because I complained enough that I get an entire new meal for free.
Sometimes I complain even when I haven't been for the free meal :green:

The best mistake you can ever get in a Happy Meal is getting two toys except they are both the same. That had happened to us so many times but it happened to my brothers more when I was little. But we already be on the road when we notice we have another toy in our bag.
The worst mistake we ever had was I was nine years old and we were heading to the Oregon coast for the Hood to Coast to meet our dad there and we had one of my dad's friend's kid's with us because his mother was also in the Hood to Coast and we stopped at a McDonalds on the way out of town and boy did the people there screw up our orders bad. I was given the wrong toy, a boy toy instead of a female toy and one of my brothers got a female toy so we traded and Bryce (the friend's kid) got a female toy so my mom had to grab the bags and run inside and get the correct toys. Then she came back out and one of us notices we had two burgers so my mom had to run back inside and get the fries. We keep finding more errors before my mom could even start the car so she had to run back inside like five more times before everything was alright. It was a good thing we checked our food before mom pulled out of the parking lot. That was one moment where our orders were so screwed up it took my mom five trips to get it corrected because my brothers and the boy kept finding mistakes with their order while mine was the wrong toy and wrong hamburger. We always had to check our meals right after we get them when we go to fast food places because our parents didn't want to turn the car around to get our order fixed.
I can remember a similar incident when I was in middle school and it was in our hometown in Montana and my dad said they were stupid because they screwed up our order a few times in one day.

I remember the best Happy Meal I've ever had was in Burger King in Poland when I was a tot. It must have been a special occasion or the store's anniversary or something cause they were giving away full sized Barbie/Sindy/whatever dolls for the whole day. 'Twas awesome 8)

The Maccas drive-through I go to has a screen that displays a list of all the things you've ordered. If the screen isn't working, I get whoever is taking the order to read it back to me. Even then, the occasional mixup occurs. Back in my worst OCD days I would get into a huge snit about it, but these days it just doesn't seem worth the effort. :yawn:
Oh, and Phlexor? What you said about mind erasure is absolutely true. I opened my mouth and could have sworn I had said "McChicken," yet everyone else in the car claimed that I said "Big Mac," and indeed that is what they gave me. No idea how that happened. *scratches head*

The best Happy meal toy my daughter got was on United Airlines. She got a replica of the food truck that loads the meals onto United's airplanes.

If they mess up my order, it really doesn't bother me unless the food is cold, but if they mess up my husband's order and put mayonnaise or mustard on his sandwich, it ruins his day.
So if I'm getting something for him, I always check the order before I pull away from the drive through.
-
I don't understand why having your order messed up is a big deal to some people. How hard is it to take it back up to the counter and tell them what you really ordered and show them what they got you instead so they can replace it? :violin:
Also when you get your food in the drive through. Always check to make sure they got it right. How hard is that?

It gets annoying when it happens nearly every fucking time.

NO PICKLES AND NO FUCKING TOMATOES GODAMN IT OR IM GONNA FUCKING THROW THE BURGER IN YOUR FUCKING FACE
they gave me extra mayo, and not the good kind.
its not a big deal but it makes me irate that they have computers and systems in place so that i get it the way i want it.
they are not retarded theyre just pissed that they have the most demeaning job ever, and they just dont give a shit.

But really, they can fuck themselves in the ear. It's better than no job.

If they put onions on my burger when I asked them not to or if they didn't put pickles when I asked for them, I could just pick off the onions if I didn't want to eat them and I can eat a burger without pickles, but if they put mayonnaise or mustard on my husband's burger, he can still taste it even if it's scraped off so they have to make him a whole new burger. If he didn't find out until later they put mayonnaise or mustard on his burger, then he would have to drive back to the store for them to fix it. You're right that if it's a big deal to people, they should just be careful to always check their drive through order before they drive away, so that's what I do if I get food for him from a drive through.

Is your husband on the spectrum too?

getting wrong order at drive thrus is fucking retarded and pisses me off
sure you can check, but you're meant to fuck off and leave so the next person can drive thru
if you've got a big order, u can't check it all while you#re there
and it's fucking annoying to get home and find its wrong
also they should just do the fucking job right
how hard is it to give me what i ask for?
maybe they should stop employing retards and spastics at mcdonslads
i know im too retarded to work at a place like that, so i wouldnt put anyone thru the bother of being served by someone like me
other retards should do the same and fuck off to some other job that doesnt involve customers
they also employ a lot of dumb bitches there
college students that probably do media studies, yu can jujst tell by looking at them

Why would one person order a lot of food for him/herself?
When a bunch of people order their food, have them each check their own food once they get it. My mother made us kids check our own so she isn't checking five orders or four. Dad wasn't always with when we stop at a fast food place. It was just quicker that way.
PS you pull into a parking spot or away from the drive thru to check your food if you're driving if you're so worried about the person behind your growing impatient. You could be waiting for more food and the driver behind you won't even know it but he would look like an ass if the cashier handed you your drinks or straws or ketch up you asked for because then he would see you were not done with getting your order.
Luckily this doesn't happen to me very often when my order gets wrong. It was more often when I was growing up. I don't know how they get the orders wrong, maybe they are too lazy to do it right.
-
Why would one person order a lot of food for him/herself?
A. When that one person is picking up, and paying for, the order on behalf of his/her entire family.
Dinner at Maccas tonight. Ordered M&M McFlurry, received Oreo McFlurry. Someday they may actually fill an order correctly, but I ain't holdin' me breath. :laugh:

I would kick arse as a secret shopper for drive through take away.

I thought it maybe be some fat person who would do it and I was like Fuck them, they don't need to eat that much food in one meal. I never thought about someone would go to a fast food place by themselves while everyone else is waiting at home for their food. My dad has done it before.

we never all go at once unless we go on the way home from somewhere
there's no point everybody going, especially if there are kids
the whole point of a drive-thru is that it's meant to be fast. you go in, order, pay, get your shit and go
except it's the slowest fucking thing in the world, and the kids working there look like they've come straight from a special school
it'd be like me running a store and employing retarded aspies to do it
the only idiots working there are the fucking spastics that don't know how to read an order and hand you the fucking food you asked for
and the prices are going up all the time, faster than inflation
i expect my food for free if i get that kind of shit service
i feel like dragging them out into the carpark and shooting the fucking lot of them
