I once walked down to the local ice cream dispensary to get a cone of some type. But they were short-handed that day, and had closed the walk-up window. So I walked over to the drive-thru window.
They would not serve me without a car. Instead of closing the drive-thru and making drivers get out of their car, they closed the walk-up window, and wouldn't serve any walk-ups at the drive-thru.
Fuck drive-thrus.
When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I'd arrive just before 1am.
After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!
Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.
I'm glad we don't have banks/atm with drive thru (or many drive thru to beginn with) but this reminds me of my first covid test.
This was in the very beginning when testing was available like the first couple of weeks, when testing through a professional was available and everything was under tight lock down. My city's health department set up a low contact drive through at a trade show site.
In general not a bad idea to reduce contact, but it was like they didn't even imagine, that someone had to get there without a car (this is Germany mind you not the US). There was no set up for non drivers at all.
I live quite central and still had to take 2 trams and a bus to get there (after Covid exposure to mandatory testing) walk over a huge parking space into a fucking parking garage and behind those cars waiting in line through the whole garage to the testing station. All while feeling like shit.
Ahh yeah, memories...
The horizontals were probably confused about this vertical alien
Happened to me once. Kept expecting the guy to try and hit me up for a donation after i got done
The other day I was waiting behind a guy with no car. 😁
She should have pulled out her gat and robbed those fuckers.
Did she expect to cut in line?
