The point of the drive thru is to get what you need quickly. If everything goes perfectly it should take just a few minutes.
Unless of course it's a 24 hour drive thru and everyone is hammered and there are a ton of people in line. Then and only then is it acceptable to wait fifteen minutes.
I am sure I could have gone in this morning to get my coffee. Yet I decided to try the drive thru line because there were only six cars in line, stupid me. Half an hour later I was still waiting but because of the way the line is designed, I am now trapped in line. So I decided to put on Christmas music and tried to avoid road rage while for intents and purposes being parked. What do we do about this? I shouldn't have to go in, I have a small order specifically designed for the drive thru, get in, get out!
If you have anything more than a coffee and either muffin, bagel or donut go inside. You are slowing down this beautiful idea. The drive thru is essentially communism, a great idea that can't work out because certain people don't use it properly. If you have to have a breakfast sandwich go inside and wait in line you clearly don't care how long it takes. Don't hold up people with things to do and places to see.
Some of the worst people on Earth are the people who give a laundry list of sandwiches, nuggets, cokes, diet cokes, substitutions,etc, etc. Honestly are you that much of dick head that you won't bring your army of shit machines into BK? Then after the staff cooks dinner in 12 minutes for gaggle of nose pickers while you sit in your SUV you have the nerve to complain and hold the line up further. How is that the rest of our fault, that you can't get these ass hole kids to behave inside a shitty restaurant? Maybe close your legs if you can't handle it properly, all I want is a fucken Double Cheese burger and a Coke.
If you have more than one kid with you, you are not doing anything quickly, fast food does not apply to you. You have to suck it up and put on your parent hat and go inside and let us movers and shaker get what we need and fast. We don't have any anchors slowing us down. We don't need yours slowing us down too.
So just to review:
1. No more than 2 to 3 items at a time in the drive thru (unless it' after last call)
2. If you need to be a douche and complain about fast food. GO INSIDE.
3. Bring your shit machines inside, all the germs in there are probably good for them and it is a nice exercise in parenting. Fast food does not apply to you.
4. Use common sense and decency. The people working these lines probably aren't Rhode's Scholars, make things as easy for them as possible. Do Not complain about a 99 cent cheeseburger, it is 99 cents. If allergies are involved explain it nicely inside, don't blame the employees because you are five minutes behind, they didn't shit in your kids pants your kid did.
5. Have your money ready, pay attention to the cars in front of you, don't over react to a love tap. 0 miles an hours is at most trading some paint.
6. I think that is it. But I reserve the right to edit.
Sorry if you think the drive thru exists for you to not have to shuffle your kids in it out of places, it doesn't. It is for us non-breeding, important people, I am pretty sure it is in The Constitution.

I find that it's a common sense rule. If you want something done special for you, go inside. Otherwise, order directly from the menu, and pick off what you don't like later.
unfortunately common sense loses to self importance more often then not
