Drabble by Kevin Fagan for March 29, 2022

Only in Murica

Ever been to Rally’s/Checker’s drive thru? They have a lane on both sides of the building, and delivery drivers have to use the one where the building is on the right. I always back through.

The most obvious way to solve this is by importing a British car.

Ralph get all turned around when he takes that medication.

True; whatever they are, send ’em to me…

How he did this I don’t know, when we get to the pharmacy there is usually a loooong line at the drive through.

The pharmacy needs to install some of those popup blades that slash your tires if you drive the wrong way.

Maybe Ralph should get out of his car.

Especially if the warning label says " may cause dizziness. do not operate machinery."

I expect Ralph to do that even without meds.

So that’s what all the honking was about.

The Taco Hell I worked at in HS had the drive-thru on the wrong side. It was initially built without one, so when they put one in, there was no clearance on the other side of the building (the car wash took up too much property). Also meant that the restrooms were no longer directly accessible from inside the restaurant – you now had to go outside, go past the drive-thru window, and go in the newly installed exterior door to get to the hallway. We had a window in the drive-thru so you could see if people were doing weird stuff in the hallway.

Around my parts Flatlanders idle behind 12-15 cars to pay $5.00 for burnt coffee at Starbucks. At $6 bucks a gallon that is wrong on many levels, many fast-food places still have not re-opened inside business first the lockdown now not enough employees keep them only half open.

Guess who you’ll find at the gas pumps with the hose stretched across the top of the car?
