I have noticed that the drive through lanes of fast food and now pharmacies are subject to abuse. The fast food restaurants are really subject to abuse as people sit in their cars waiting to place their orders and then, still waiting in their cars, to pick up their order. They sit there with the engines running wasting gasoline and wasting time. When pulling into a fast food restaurant you notice that the drive through lane is wrapped around the building why would one go to the back of the line to sit and wait. Why not park your car, get out, walk inside, place your order, pick it up and return to your car. Usually this can be accomplished while only two cars have exited the drive through.
Now, since working in a pharmacy with a disgusting drive through window, it is easy to notice those that should and should not use a drive through.
One day a lady pulls up to the window and is at least 3 feet away from the push out drawer. I say to her that she needs to get closer so she doesn't have to get out of her car. She says " Well I got a little to close to the drive through at Hardee's and took my drive side mirror off." I then told her she should not be using the drive through.
You do wonder when a heavy set individual pulls up to the window and their stomach is rubbing the steering wheel, why not get out of the car and walk in. A little exercise goes a long way.
