Rain and Drive-thrus
Jul. 10th, 2007 02:17 pmSo I feel like ranting about something, and I found the perfect thing when I ran out for lunch today - drive-thrus.
Since we're leaving for vacation in a few days, it's not worth doing a full grocery shopping trip to get some food. So I've been being a slug (since eating soup or oatmeal for lunch when it's hot and humid outside isn't my idea of fun) and getting fast food. Today it started raining when I was out and by the time I got to the drive-thru it was POURING down. Most fast food places have at least some semblance of a canopy over their pick-up windows, but none of them (except maybe White Castle, I think) have anything covering the speaker where you place your order.
Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't this be common sense? The driver's side of my car (and me by extension) got soaked while trying to place my order. And then to add insult to injury, the pick-up window at the Arby's I went to had some lousy excuse for a canopy over their window. As in, it sticks out just far enough for the big drops of water to splat right into your open window. Nice.
It sometimes doesn't pay to be a fat, happy consumer whore.
