I think everyone just needs to chill out and stop being so entitled

Agree, no one is entitled to make the 10 cars behind them wait 15 minutes for

Is that really guts? I view it more as intelligence.

That’s not how it works. There is no rule at the drive thru. Everyone can just relax

YIsForBrigham

And it doesn't make a difference. They are still going to put stuff together

Not true. The drive thru is prioritized over inside. And the big difference is

So keep adding onto the backlog of orders. Doesn't really change much.

Most drive thru's that I know of put a clock on each order.

Sure, everyone is free to ignore common courtesy. It’d just be nice if they

Except this isn’t common courtesy. This is a personal issue. There’s a difference

There is a point where it really doesn't make sense to use the drive thru

You’re a fat guy in a drive through line. Lol.

Why? Is it really the $ amount or the time the order took that pisses you off? I

I doubt it really takes that much longer. If you don’t want to wait in line why

I was stuck in the drive through for 30 minutes one night. Some dude ordered

200 tacos is way different than 50.00 worth of food.

Nuke

If it's taco tuesday you could get 100 tacos for $50.

You make a good point. People are never gonna stop being rude. It will be up

True. People will always pass judgements on those around them (or in front of

This isn’t the hospital, folks. It’s a fast food restaurant. There’s no

Exactly, a lot of snowflakes out there for sure

You’re the rude one here. Crazy you don’t see that.

that's only 5 combo meals, an average meal for an LDS family. If you're ordering for the whole football team, I agree.

Pulled into a drive-thru a few nights ago late at night. A big pickup sped up in the parking lot to

Or you can just go to Dairy Queen and it doesn't matter what people order

I wish there was a second set of menu boards for this reason

Wow, what an elitist jerk. Probably thought you couldn’t afford your order!
