Drive-Thru's at a fast food establishment are chosen because I want "FAST food." I go as litttle as possible but when I do I do not want to "pull up and wait" for my order another 10 to 12 minutes. Therefore, when asked by the nice person at the window "to pull up" I just respectfully say, "No thanks. I'll wait."

They do not think it's funny.

You should try it sometime.

I pulled up once and they forgot I was out there. I waited until nobody else was there, and backed down the lane to the window. After all the I'm sorry stuff more cars were coming up behind me, so they asked me to pull up again. I refused.

They get clocked from how long you pull up to the ordering box until you pull out.



It affects their pay/productivity or something like that.

I like my food without a side of spit, just sayin'.

That is stupid. You still have to wait the same amount of time but in a different spot. You are like the asshole that holds up the line for everyone else. Do not do that shit. It accomplishes nothing but pisses off everyone.

No thanks.  I prefer my food to be free of saliva and/or pubic hairs.  Besides, no reason to screw the guy behind you because you ordered something that they don't have sitting in the warmers.  

And if you are one of those types that orders fries w/o salt, GTFO.  Fast food is not custom food.

ETA I supposed it makes you feel awesome to stick it to the kid working a shit job for shit wages.

They used to be faster in the days before "We don't make it 'til you order it."

You're going to have to wait, regardless of where you do it. If you pull up, they can get other orders in the queue after you... the guys behind you aren't getting their food any faster than you if you pull up either... but they WILL be delayed if you insist on waiting by the order speaker...

They don't matter. What's important is making sure the kids at the window know how ALPHA he is.

I always order mine without salt and always will, it means they just made them and they are hot and fresh, not slightly warm and soggy. If I'm paying for it, I'm getting it the way I want it.

And you wonder why the service sucks.

Berating and terrorizing people works real well at getting them to do a shitty job they already don't want to do in the first place, any faster.

Tell you what, you go behind the counter, and I will play customer so you can get a real feeling of how bad their life sucks.

Grow up.

Seems like when ever I have to pull ahead there is always something that I need them to go back and get me, extra napkin , ketchup, I'll pull ahead but you will make an extra trip and I'll always pull way ahead in shitty weather

I like boogers in my food!


Friedrich Bischinger, a lung specialist at Privatklinik Hochrum in Innsbruck, says that nose-picking and eating the result is beneficial for the immune system.



Not sure ol' Friedrich was talking about boogers from a zit faced teenager, but whatever, my immune system handles that shit like a boss.

Around here, Wendy's has their drive-thru shit together.



I can get in and out there in under 2 minutes, at McDonalds I sit for 5 minutes while the 3 mouth breathers in front of me order for 20 people each.

I always seem to get behind the person ordering for eight different people, each with some special request ( i.e. no cheese on the cheeseburger) and paying separately.    Just get eight number threes and get on with it! Otherwise park and go inside.

That's not as bad as waiting at the speaker for 3 minutes before someone at KFC desides to answer you then waiting another 3 minutes at the window before someone comes up and takes your money with no one else in line infront of you. I drove off and went to Wendy's. I order and and my food faster than KFC took my order.



I did complain to KFC corporate about that shit and they sent me a $5 gift certificate so I got a free lunch out of the ordeal. That's the one thing I like about KFC, if you bitch a fit to corpoate they usually send you something. Not true for other places.

As a former fast food worker - I will tell that they ask you to pull forward so it doesn't count against their service time metrics.  That, in it of itself, is cheating the "system."

However, I will also tell you this: There were a lot of nice customers that I don't remember.  I do remember all the assholes.  Things like taking a drink of *your* coke, then spitting it back into the cup, well, were dished out in accordance with customer attitude.

Not saying it was right, but I will repeat here my rationale (when I worked there): I'm sixteen.  I make $5.75/hr.  Go ahead and fire me...I don't give a rats ass.

Oh, and all you people who aren't squatters?  Yeah, that toilet seat, floor, walls, and sink were all cleaned by the same exact mop head in about 30 seconds.  You know what bugs me about wendys?  They don't have paper towels to dry your hands (or open door handles, or turn on/off sinks, etc).

In the days when I ate fast food, if I was asked to pull forward, I simply handed back the drink (which they would nearly always give you first,) and ask for my money back.  No muss, no fuss, no spit in my burger.  (And when ordering in the drive through I almost never had a special order.)

Or....

I always seem to be behind the one person who has never been to a drive thru before.

They pull up, Oh look, a menu! Of course the drone inside instantly asks them what they want which throws them into a panic. After they hem and haw, they start to order....  for 5 other people. Because they seem to have never done it before, there is an awful lot of questions and re-ordering. Just go inside and leave the drive thru for the professionals.

Wendy's is the fastest around here. McDonalds is definitely the slowest... they are fucking horrible. I waited a good ten minutes the other night for an angus burger meal since I had a coupon to get free fries and a drink. Typically I just get two double cheeseburgers and a small fry if I go there.

Here in the south, as a general rule McDonalds is the fastest.

Hardees is almost the slowest, which is really annoying, because they have the absolute best fast-food breakfast. They just can't seem to get it bagged up and out the window to save their lives.

I try to avoid fast food altogether.
Yet, there are times I go.
There is a Wendy's near a hospital in this area that is a wonder to behold.
It must be the fastert, cleanest, friendliest fast food joint in the country.

They must be doing something right.

Another a few miles away is filthy, slow, and staffed by sour faced window licking oxygen thieves.

I dont like to fuck with the people making my food when I cant see them. The only place around here to eat fast food if you are in a hurry is Wendy's. If there are no cars infront of me ordering fries with no salt or some bullshit like that I can almost make it from microphone to food in my hand without touching the brake pedal.
