Don’t tell me they can’t take a simple order and punch it in to a easy-to-use system (e.g. picture of hamburger button orders hamburger), while simultaneously putting a cup under a spout and pressing another easy-to-use bottom which automaticaly dispenses the correct amount of whatever soda you didn’t order into the cup.

I like to think of myself as occassionally civilized. I still use the drive thru. I really don’t want to go inside where I might accidentally catch a glimpse of the food prep (yuck).

And while you’re on it… what’s up with Taco Bell? In some misguided attempt to be different from the rest, they now have their “announcer” simply say “hello, how are you today?” when you drive up. I say “fine, how are you?” And then we sit…

The only reason for a person to go through a drive thru is if a teen aged boy can’t take the time to unwrap himself from the voluptuous
17 year old girl he’s got his hands on and walk inside!

The rest of the civilized world goes inside and orders in the correct way.
