I had a run in in the drive thru a couple years back. I pulled into one of the two lanes at McD, and another car went through the second lane. I wait my turn, and then try to pull forward, but the person in the other car was riding up on the bumper of the person ahead of them, like, clearly intentionally making sure there was no room for me to take my turn.

So I roll down my window and call out "Hey, they're gonna get our orders mixed up" and before I'd even finished my sentence the driver GOES BALLISTIC on me. Just screaming "oh my God, really? Really?? Over a burger? Really?? Really? Really??" And I just rolled my window back up. The person drove forward just far enough to keep me from moving ahead, but not far enough to get to the first window to pay. They waited. Waited until the line cleared up. Then they gunned it past the pay window and straight to the food window.

I pulled up to the pay window, rolled mine down and loudly declared "Yeah, could I get my receipt too? I think this person ahead of my is trying to take my food!"

At which point the driver ahead of me peeled out of the drive thru without having received any food.

Window person said that such a tactic had been done a few other times that month by other people.

McD is the kind of place where they would say “Tough shit, re-order” as well. That’s why I stopped going like a decade ago.

Would have been hilarious if they slid into a curb while peeling out and got stuck because their wheel got fucked up.

I was driving back from Atlanta a few years ago and stopped into a chicfila drivethru to grab some lunch on the go. I didn't realize how backed up they were until i was already stuck in line and had no way to get out. There were 2 parking lot entrances merging into 1 drive-thru lane, the guy in front of me let a car from the other lane go in, then he went, so I figured the understanding was zipper merging and just taking basic turns so I let the other car go, then I went. When I got to the person to take me order she said "The guy in front of you has already paid for your meal for letting them go in front of you."

When basic courtesy is so rare it needs to be rewarded.

Saw this a few months ago but it was from a woman. Congrats on the transition!

I worked a drive-through for long enough to believe it.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Same. Every day was like a lengthy masterclass in infinite fresh flavors of assholery and Karen-hood. As soon as you think you've plumbed the shadowy depths of the human condition, the floor comes out from under you. Then, all of a sudden, you're gazing straight into the maw of a clapped out Chevy Trailblazer where there used to be a drive thru window, and the driver is now prancing around nude, ranting about dipping sauces and firing a 12-gauge into the ceiling tiles.

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not acusdomed to drive throughs. How would the guy get the karens receipt?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago (24 children)

By paying for it at the first window. He's in front of her. He gets to pay, says "I'm paying for me and car behind me. I need both receipts please"

Goes to second window for pickup. Shows both receipts, gets given both orders.

Leaves.

I haven't used a drive through in decades. How is one able to pay for the next person's food?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You just ask. It's an American thing to do. They think it's funny to do. Like tipping and charity and other things where you can pay for feeling good about yourself.

What happens is that the next car also pays forward and so on until the chain breaks. It makes the news every once in a while when they manage to keep it up for an entire day.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Sorry, maybe I'm just sunbeat and can't think straight—or just an idiot—because I still don't get it.

This is what I'm picturing. Blue car orders as the pink car waits (and honks like a jerk) in fig. 1, right? Then the blue car drives up to the pick-up window to pay for and get their food in fig 2, at which point the pink car can make their order.

At which point between 1. and 2. does the blue car have the opportunity to pay for pink car's food, get the receipt, and take their order? Did the blue car just wait at the pick-up window until pink made the order? If that's the case, wouldn't the staff know that that's not their order?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 4 points 3 days ago

There are usually more steps: Order, wait, pay, wait, get food.

When you're at pay, they already have the bill for the next car who is in wait.

Add in a long distance between order and pay (or a slow blue driver).

I'd almost put money on the attendant asked the guy to wait a moment, then this lady honked because she had to wait in line for an extra 14.7 seconds...but when it was her turn to order she stared at the menu for 2 minutes, then ordered for more people who can fit into her car.

The same type of person at the grocery store who will complain yOuRe TaKiNg ToO lOnG if someone is looking at something she wants, but then will park her cart in the middle of the aisle and stand there for 4 straight minutes.

How long does it take to say, "One sack of shit, please."?
