I’m not anti-corporate or big chain. Just the opposite, in fact. I love McDonalds, and all of the major fast food chains. They have been one of the small joys in my life.

What I hateĀ are the morons that use the drive thru.

What is the disease (it must be a disease…there can be no other explanation) that makes a typically rational person go through the drive-thru to order $50 worth of food? Don’t they realize how long that order will take? Don’t they know that there is probably someone right behind them that only ordered an ice cream cone? What were they thinkin’? They weren’t, that’s what!

And those are the same people that act indignant when the cashier asks if they can pull forward while their food is being prepared.

I literally waited for 17 minutes for an ice cream cone last night while the car in front of me gathered in bag after bag after bag of their order. There was confusion, bags were returned and replaced, drinks were spilled and refilled…it was chaos!

And all I wanted was my ice cream cone.

Now, the cashier could have brought me my cone while I waited…that would have been great customer service. But what makes someone so lazy and rude that they would put me through that?

Now, my wife lovingly asked me: “Why didn’t you just go inside for your order?”

Man…she just doesn’t get it!
