What a Maroon!
The guy in front of me at the drive-thru today:
* parked his car 8 feet away from the ordering speaker/mic, got out of his car and stood there reading items off of a sheet of coupons. (Not mentioning that he had coupons, of course.)
* At the window he handed the whole sheet of coupons to the cashier, she tore off the relevant ones and gave the remaining coupons back. She then had to re-enter the entire order with coupons.
* The guy spent about a minute futzing with his change, oblivious to everything else, while the cashier held his first sack o’ food out the window waiting for him to take it.
* The second bag went faster but there was, again, a long delay while the cashier held out his drink.
Misc. item: the little registration sticker on his license plate (”Nov”) was upside down. I had a lot of time on my hands to notice such things…
Overall time: about five minutes for something that should have taken one minute.
I was thru there in 20 seconds, and made a point of not following that person on the road.

Obviously an al-Qaeda operative attempting to not only disrupt the American economy in general, but the fast-food industry in particular.
The bastards!
Stay vigilant, my friend.
I’ll (of course) do my part by frequenting these establishments (along with a few well-known pubs in the area) in order to “reconnoiter”. Perhaps these expenses could be tax-deductable (in the name of capitalism, democracy and uh…pursuit of an early quadruple bypass.)
Later.
