Ordering at the drive thru

Why is it that person in front of me must have a three minute conversation while ordering their items? I pull into the ordering block and quickly place my order and am processed on. Can others do the same? No. They go back and forth with the staff three to six times before the dumb bastards are apparently satisfied and finish their order and move on. It boggles the mind to contemplate WTF they are discussing. Perhaps subjects such as “Where exactly did this lettuce I am ordering originate?” or “How many calories are in a pickle slice?” **** and order your food before someone in the car behind you gets out and slams your head into the reader board you brain dead son of a bitch!

roll down your window and listen to what they order. Damn people want everything customized. I worked fast food and nothing pisses off a fry cook faster than someone asking for something special. Keep it normal, if it comes with pickels just take it that way and pull them off. Ask for extra anything and you'll probably get more than more onions.

Conversation over heard ...

Car in Front of FRANKO >> You see this guy behind me in the F150... He cut me off at the light back a few miles...
Person in FF Window >> OK, you want the usual.
Car in Front of FRANKO >> yes please, can you see the ******* in your camera yet?
Person in FF Window >> We will get him in a minute and e-mail the picture to you.
Car in Front of FRANKO >> OK, I am starting to see him turn red. We just need to go back and forth a couple more times.
Person in FF Window >> No Problem
...
...
...
Cars pull around ...
Car in Front of FRANKO >> Make sure the food is prepared special for him.
Person in FF Window >> Already taken care of... Thanks for your business

This is deeply disturbing; I feel that I’m in the presence of those who have long conversations when ordering. I feel the Zombies closing in……

There was a study out of Johns Hopkins that showed a correlation between a diet high in fast foods and mood swings/anger management issues.

Just some food for thought. (Pun intended).

This is brilliance! I will yell something to the effect of "The ******* will have a taco and small coke" The line will be moving again.

I used to work drive thru, I had so many fu*&ers come through and ask a million questions. Jesus christ, get out the car and come in and order so i dont have the street backed up. I loved when people had like 20 orders, I def messed those up on purpose. P.S. if you see that the bun has been picked at, rats had gotten into the bread racks and eatin at the tops of the buns, and yes, I have witnessed them doing this.
