What tunnel vision does to a mf
If there's a line like this in the drive through I just move on. The inside is gonna be even slower than just waiting for drive through.
I commonly see these drive thru lines and walk inside. No line.
Idk every time I've gone inside when a line is like this there won't be many people inside but the order will still take forever for some reason.
That's because there are 3 or 4 cars in the line between the order kiosk and the window who have already ordered before you walked in the door. When you walk in, you jump the line of cars before the order kiosk. But there aren't separate queues for counter and drive thru in the kitchen. They just see a list of orders in the order in which they were received, and process orders more or less FIFO.
If there are cars behind the order kiosk, you are almost certainly getting your order faster than if you had joined at the end of the line.
Yeah that makes sense. Like I said if they're that busy I'll just go somewhere else.
Unrelated, but why are there two different styles of crosswalk? I'm not from the states and I've never seen either before.
There isn't really a standard crosswalk design over here. Likely each one was done at different times, part of different jobs.
I hope this isn't a photo from mode pandemic... I mean fuck cars and all that, but drive thru was clutch for a bit there.
50 tons of social stratification
Is this Starbucks in the middle of 4 road intersection
They really will put them anywhere and everywhere lol.
Yeah how else are you gonna get there /s
The brain rot is insane. Every Starbucks and Chickfila.
Maybe we all should create a MicroNation ?
Sometimes the drive through is just as fast as going inside. I’ve been at a mcD’s where I went in cause the line looked like this but I ended up waiting 20 mins for my order inside cause they were just slammed at that moment
Only one car parked. Either most of the staff is taking transit to work, or this place is dismally understaffed.
Plot twist: They're all working there, they are just getting a coffee on the way to their job.
