They fuck you at the drive through

Why do customers in drive-thrus get served before those who actually go in the store?

Example: I make an effort to park the car, lock it up, trudge over to open the germ-infected double-set of doors at the Tim Hortons, then take my place in the line-up beside a drove of dregs, (trying not to overhear whatever inane conversation about weather or politics they are having, but unable to) and then --- I have to wait?

For you see, like a trained monkey, I have anxiously followed my way in the line until it's finally time to place my order and then....the girl behind the counter gives me a little gesticulation that says "just a sec, k?"

And, dear reader, what is Ol' Matty waiting for? Well -- she has to rush over and take the order...of the guy in the drive-thru, of course.

What the fack? Why does some guy who sits his fat mofo ass in his SUV get served faster, while I'm standing attentively like some Pavlovian canine, to get my freakin' vanilla cappuccino and cherry crüller?

Maybe the prices of donuts and coffee service should be like that of airplanes: first class, economy...etc. etc.

Yes, no, maybe? Let's all write letters to the powers-that-be about another über-important societal issue on www.matthewhansen.net

Who will join me in my quest? Who?

honestly... i think maybe youre not following the "fast food" rules of regulation... them being, to get the food as fast as possible... that being, drive-though... i believe the 2nd rule is to get as fat as possible as fast as possible... therefore being as lazy as possible by moving your (getting fat already) ass as little as possible by getting your food as fast as possible (refer to rule#1)...

obvioulsy that just doesnt work for you (matty hansen) being an athletic writer dude...

so, your non-fat-ass-duty is to keep the "cashiers" at these fast food joints working as hard as possible, therefore keeping the turnover fo employees as high as possible...

i wish i could go on im my rambling but i prefer to leave that to a more qualified family member of mine...
