\"\"Rules.\u00a0 The world needs damn rules, and the sooner the better.\u00a0 You know, when the world is too lax and needs to be tightened up a bit.\u00a0 Except, of course, when the world needs to lighten up and not be so anal about everything.\u00a0 How do you know the difference?\u00a0 It can be tricky, I’ll admit, but The Grump is here to guide you, never fear.<\/p>\n

There are three rules that need to be enacted for proper drive-thru etiquette and an efficient drive-thru experience.\u00a0 Those rules are…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No more than two meals per vehicle.\u00a0<\/strong> That’s right, don’t think you can carry the little league team in your SUV-cum-station wagon behemoth vehicle and order custom meals for ten kids.\u00a0 Two meals, that’s it.\u00a0 If you want more, park and go in.<\/li>\n
  2. No substitutions.<\/strong>\u00a0 No customization, either.\u00a0 You get it pre-assembled.\u00a0 As is.\u00a0 You don’t want lettuce?\u00a0 Tough, you’re getting lettuce.\u00a0 Does it come with bacon as a standard item?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Tough, no bacon for you.<\/li>\n
  3. Credit cards only.<\/strong>\u00a0 No fumbling with cash, and certainly no digging for change.\u00a0 Not necessary when using plastic only.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your experience… especially if you’re the vehicle(s) in front of me, should be pull-up -> bark your order number -> pull-up to the window… no need for two windows now… pay your money, grab your bags, and go!\u00a0 Easy peasy.<\/p>\n

    I guess there’s a #4, also:\u00a0 Know what you want before you pull up to the menu board and speaker.\u00a0 Don’t sit there looking at the menu of items you’ve seen for the past 20 years trying to decide.\u00a0 If you don’t know what you want, a large arm comes out and pushes your car aside and allows the next car to order.\u00a0 Back to the line for you!<\/p>\n

    With these simple rules your drive-thru experience will be much more pleasurable and stress-free.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
