Drive-Through Food

This is one reason why I never order from a drive-through window. I can't understand them, and they can't understand me.

I will not use them because of the poor sound quality. The last time I tried a drive thru I order one hamburger and got 15 gal of orange drink. LOL

Where do you guys live that you have such bad drive throughs?
Just stay at home and don't go out.

In my area, most of the fast food chains have hired most all "English is not their primary language" folks. Try ordering a burger with pickles, onions, mustard only. It is a crap shoot as to what you will get whether at the drive through or ordering inside. Don't go to them is good advice.

When the grandchildren were young, I would go through a drive through at their request. Yes, it was a crap shoot. Reminded me of the school grab bags we used to have in elementry school decades ago. You never knew what you were going to end up with.

They're in training for tech support. If they get too many orders right, they don't get a promotion.

I don't use drive-through anything. It's just a waste of gas and time.

They left out the part with the guy behind him honking his horn.

Yah, when my great grand parents came here, they did not have english as the primary language either. But lo and behold, now all my relatives seem to speak it just fine.
I never ever make fun of somebody that is willing to work!

In addition to this, I've noticed that at my local Dunkin's and my bank, there are generally 4 to 8 cars lined up in the drive-through line, while there are only 2 or 3 people at the inside counters. And you can add an environmental issue to the mix. How many pounds of greenhouse gasses are emitted by tens of thousands of cars sitting in thousands drive-through lines with their engines running, every day? Believe it or not, New Hampshire has a law against unnecessary idling (more than 5 minutes) which, I would bet, is routinely violated thanks to drive-through lines.

Another problem: the drive-thrus where you pay at one window and pick up the order at the next window. I stopped going to these the second time I left without the food🤪

I don't use drive-up at the restaurant, I will go inside instead. All the ATMs at my bank are outside and you have to drive up to them. I will drive a little past the ATM, shut off my car, get out and stand in front of the ATM to use it.

And when you skip the drive up and go inside, you'll likely be served by someone who mumbles, makes no eye contact, never smiles and can't, or won't, say "thank you". And... if the register didn't tell them how much change to give you, they'd never be able to figure it out, I'm sure.
