Can I have some styrofoam with that?

I’m not a big user of fast food drive-thrus. I think they should be used only by people that really need them, like those with small children and the elderly and handicapped. But once in a while I get lazy and yes I believe unless you are in one of the above categories and you use drive-thru you are one sorry lazy butthead.

One reason I do not frequent them is I’m convinced  drive-thru patrons receive food that has been sitting around (when they have it). Like cold fries, pre-poured drinks with ice that has melted and burgers that have been “warming” for about half an hour.

Fast food must be consumed within the first 10-15 minutes of coming of the grill or its nearly inedible. Most fast food fries once they start to get cold, taste like I have imagined a styro foam peanut would taste. Ever wonder why some people smother their fries in ketchup? So they can’t taste the styro foam–I mean fries.

Back to the drive-thru. Next time you get lazy and use the drive-thru do yourself a favor. DO NOT pull away from the window until you have gone through your bag and checked to make sure everything is there. Take a sip of your drink to make sure it is hot if it’s coffee or not watered down if its a cola. And taste the fries. If any of the above does not meet your satisfaction pound on that window and tell them to replace it. They act real quick because you are holding up the line.

Better still get a little exercise and get out of the car and eat in.

What do you think?
