20 things to do in a drive-thru lane


Recommended Posts

1. Stand close to the speaker and yell your order, using colorful expletives in ways which would embarrass the patrons inside.

2. Drive through backwards.

3. Belch your order.

4. After ordering, cover the speaker and mic with transparent tape. Watch as customers and order-takers are unable to hear each other and, thus, each raises his/her volume.

5. Barter. Offer a Whopper for a Big Mac.

6. Walk through.

7. Speak a foreign language (make one up if you have to). When the manager comes to the mic, speak English and inquire as to why the order taker had such difficulty understanding you.

8. Repeat everything the order-taker says.

9. Attempt to take the order-takers order ("Hi, may I take your order?") before they get a chance to take yours.

10. Order confusing items, i.e., "Hi, I'll have a large orange Coke and a small medium fries, please."

11. In a crowded drive-thru line, place a HUGE order, then slip out of line and watch the fun as the person behind you is handed 40 bags of food.

12. When you arrive at the window to pick up your food, hand them several bags of garbage & ask if they'll dispose of it for you. Make sure it smells.

13. Drive through with a carload of naked people.

14. Speak in such a garbled fashion that the order-taker will think there is a problem with the speaker and ask you to order at the window. When you arrive at the window, speak in the same garbled, incomprehensible fashion.

15. Drive through with someone on the hood to accept the food.

16. Bring along a Mr. Microphone. When the order-taker speaks, aim the mic at their speaker but do so while aiming the Mr. Microphone speaker at the mic to produce excruciating feedback of their own voice.

17. One word: Flatulence!

18. Have a friend hide in the trunk. When you approach the window to pickup your order, have him start yelling and banging his fists on the trunk.

19. If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker. When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees have been called over to the window to "check out the babe".

20. Change a flat tire in the drive-thru lane.

This is soooo true, I worked @ many fast food places, I remember working on drive-thru window and calling my co-workers to look at the female in the car after the order was placed. :yes:

If it was Taco Bell, they had a speaker close to the grill area that everyone was able to hear the person that was ordering, when the co-workers would hear a sexy voice, they would run to the window to look @ the female :rofl:

LOL, my friends and I have tried this one (it's soo funny when you do it)

At the Drive-Thru speaker, after they ask "Hi, may I take your order?" you start mumblimg your order or pretend you have a speaking disorder. Depending on the person serving you, they might get all embarrassed and say "Sorry sir, I can't hear you properly" or "Sorry sir, I can't understand what you're saying, can you please repeat it?" This is when you raise your voice but continue mumbling, eventually they'll tell you to drive to the window to make an order.

It's really funny, you should try it.

Haha all of those are hysterical.

A personal one that I have seen done from the car infront of me was sooooo funny. Basically a bunch of guys (teenagers) planned this before hand. 2 of the guys who were ethnic minorities went up to order the food while a third (white guy) pretended to be walking down the street. As the guys in the car pulled up to get the order the guy who was pretending to just be walking crept closer to the window. As the mcdonald's person handed the order out the window.. just at the point where the person in the car had a hand on the bag and the person from the window had a hand on the bag the white guy comes running through and rips the bag out of both thier hands and runs off.... The guys in the care act as if they've been robbed and give a small chase. The guy in Mcdonalds and everybody in the drive-thru line are crying with laughter. Mcdonalds eventually refunded their order and we saw the white guy meet up with the other two in another parking lot a block over. THye basically got mcdonalds at 1/2 price!

2. Drive through backwards.

6. Walk through.

7. Speak a foreign language (make one up if you have to). When the manager comes to the mic, speak English and inquire as to why the order taker had such difficulty understanding you.

    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
