Mostly Harmless

Unwritten (er, until now?) Rules of The Drive Thru:

If you’re going to Arby’s and there’s a big line of cars at the drive-thru there are probably three empty lines inside the building — so park your car, go inside, you’ll be done in a flash.

If you’re going to Taco Bell and there’s a big line of cars at the drive-thru under no circumstances should you consider going inside — there are probably more people inside, and there appears to be only one “pipeline” (or “thread,” if I want to actually reference the title) for the losers who go inside. The drive-thru folks will kick your butt and be long gone.

Also note that cars are bigger than people and a long line of cars is generally equal to a short line of people. Most days it doesn’t pay to get out of the air conditioned car and give up your tunes to shave a couple of minutes off of your lunch run. Not only did I have to wait around at Taco Bell today but I was forced to listen to Madonna while I did it; and it wasn’t the 1980’s Pop stuff, it was the new crap she’s got out now.
