But this isn't about that.
Circa 2015. I'm surprised they don't have a more recent Streetview. |
Today I had 3 mins before I needed to be at work so in a complete lack of urgency I decided to stop into the McDonalds drive-thru for some brekkie to-go. That 2 for 5 Sausage Egg McMuffin deal has me by the fucking cheek meat if you know what I mean. This particular drive thru has been updated and has two order lanes. This is such a great idea, especially for when shit like what I'm about to tell you happens. I've complained on here about drive-thru etiquette before but this is a kind of new one for me. New because I've never had the drive-thru clerk call out a shitty drive-thru customer before I could.
I pull up and there's a car at each order menu screen but then as I'm deciding which one to pull into the car on the left pulls forward... YOINK! that's where I go. Since the other car was there before me I always try to get my order in before they finish but since they're already there it never happens. But today I ordered my usual and kept looking over but they were still there so I move ahead to the pay window. When I get there the lady working says "Some people shouldn't be allowed to use the drive-thru. It's supposed to be fast, it's a drive-thru. If you want to take your sweet ass time just go inside" Apparently the car I was side-eyeing while ordering had been there for like 10 mins and she told me they said they "were just browsing the menu" She went on hilariously "this is a drive-thru you don't get to browse! We're supposed to get each car thru in two minutes. These people are screwing up my line" She was singing my song! I wish I had a Noggins business card to give her so she can read all my drive thru complaints. I said that the drive-thru should be seen as the 15 Items Or Less line at the grocery store. It's there for expediency. If you've never seen a McDonalds menu before, or like ordering for a family of 10... put some shoes and pants on like a grown-up and go fucking inside! We shared a laugh then I got the fuck out of the way and went to the pick-up window like I'm supposed to. I still did a rear-view mirror check tho to make sure I wasn't holding up the line... of course I wasn't. Those fuck-heads still haven't ordered yet.
