Long Drive Thru Waits

ACEOFDIAMOND · #1 10-01-2002, 03:08 AM

Just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else... waiting half an hour in a drive thru line?!?!?? Tonight at 2:30 I pulled up to the big boy drive thru and had to wait 30 minutes because there was only one lady working there and so many people. She had to cook and cashier tonight since her cook didnt show up. That's insane, I would have said I'm closed tonight. So has anyone else ever been to a drive thru and waited that long or had only one person working?

Yeah I hate long lines. MLS is fake soccer.

Awww, I feel so sorry for that lady!

I would have hired a homeless man for the mean time and paid him with beer.

Wow, in that case I feel sorry for the lady, not the people waiting in the line. But in general, when I'm stuck in the drive through and I see people just standing around inside, I get ticked.

If a drive through line has more than 2 cars in it I usually just park the car and walk in.

Doing my part to decrease the carbon dioxide emissions of my 14 MPG SUV

The same thing happened to me this weekend. I was waiting on line with some sisters at Taco Bell after going out and we waited for years. Well, not really but it was a long damn time.

Eventually we just pulled out of that line and drove down the strip to Burger King instead. It was all good to me, though. I got to have a low fat chilli and I was so stoked.

The burger joint around here. Affectionately called "Waitaburger" because there is nothing fast about that food. Yeah its good, but I have the one by my house on my cell, so I'll just call in soemthing if I am really in the mood. Even inside they give you this little plastic thingy and make you wait.

Side note to SATX*APhi. Dont even get started with the Whataburger stuff. I know you from Corpus, and yes I have seen and eaten at the two story Whataburger on Shoreline. Its very nice, your welcome very much. j/k (Every kid I know from Corpus bust up with the "Two story Whataburger" bit every time I mention Whataburger around them. I actually ate there last time I was in that part of CC downtown, just to say I had done it.) Much love gal.

I hear ya on the Whataburger wait! And to top it off, it's damn expensive food too! I've eaten sit down dinner less than what my ex fiancee and I paid for drive through...then again he always ordered a CRAP load of food.
I miss it...

Ha! I wouldn't have brought it up.

I would have brought up that Whataburger was founded here in Corpus.

Whataburger is sooo good! The Whataburger near my house, though, had a two year streak of always messing up orders. They are doing much better now!

Don't feel bad. We don't have any of the first three here in Corpus either. There was another one I read about here on GC. They make some sort of subs or something like that.

What does MLS have to do with long lines?

White castle fries only come in one size

Drive thru's are supposed to be for people on the go and in a hurry. I don't think that you should be able to make a purchase over a certain amount of money at a drive though.

My ex-boss was waiting in a drive thru line at Taco Bell one night for about a half hour around 3am. She was so pissed off that when she got up there she told them that she was ordering ONE of EVERYTHING on the menu. The night manager was pissed off...

She ended up dropping off most of the food off to those of us who were working third shift.

Thanks Pam!

The times I've been made to wait for my food in a drive-thru was because they were making new fries...And I've had to wait because I already paid! There should be a "Fries Now Cooking" sign put out by the drive thru so I have the option of stopping or not! Like when Krispy Kreme puts that "Fresh Hot Donuts" sign on!
