Why we're doomed.

[destriero]

Yeah, global warming, but rate my response.

I get home on a red-eye from somewhere where it's 115 degrees. My oldest has a doc appt for some t-dap or dtap shot, what the f*ck ever. He LOVES In N Out. We have 45 minutes to make the appointment so we're killing time. I am keto so I get a dbl-dbl plain animal style and he orders the #1.

It's 2:39 local time.

At 3:12 we've been the penultimate car to the delivery window for 23 minutes. The f*cks at the window are waiting for a receipt. AND they're vaping.

Manager says that their printer is down... we're fixing it. Does manager tell f*ckface to drive to the lot? No. How about screw the $14 receipt this time and call it a day? No.

Of course someone honks somewhere in the 26 car pile-up behind us. Asshole #1 (driver) takes offense and flips me off. He then puts car in reverse to allude to bumping my front bumper (wife's Tesla) and I get out and tell f*ckface that I didn't honk and that he should choose life. Driver speeds off (without receipt!). I get back in the car and the manager hands me the guy's receipt--too thick to realize that a 2018 Tesla is not a 2006 Lexus.

"Critical thinking."

"What's that, sir?"

"Did it ever cross your f*cking mind to tell the customer to drive around to the lot to wait for someone to deliver him a receipt?"

"That wouldn't have made a difference, sir"

Yes, I am an asshole, but you people are irreparably stupid. I throw $10 gift card at manager after receiving our dog food.

34 minutes... started nine cars back.

20 minutes late and charges me $100 for missed appt.

I would rate your response a 2, on the 1-10 scale.

For the simple reason that by assessing your post, you seem an intelligent person, and have a good deal of life experience. So considering those factors, one must wonder why you went through a drive-thru with such a tight time-frame in the first place.

The difference between going through a drive-thru process, and simply parking, walking into the place to place your order is, at the best of times, the same. At the worst of times, the drive-thru can be considerably worse. Especially considering that at the drive-thru, they do sometimes fuck you. This is not a rare event, it happens more often than you may realize. So why not just park the car in the lot and take the extra 15 seconds it takes to get into the store and into the line in the store which is the same line you would have at the drive-thru?

Des, you're a trader man. You analyze charts all the time. Why not analyze the small bits of life also?

Oh please. You're so wrong!

1) I had 30 minutes to get through 8 other customers.

2) Son hates going in; hates the plebes. I NEVER use the drive-thru when alone.

3) I never use the drive-thru at In&Out because of their absurd inefficiencies... but you obviously don't have children.

4) I don't eat this shit unless absolutely necessary.

5) I've witnessed a car overheat and thereby stranding a dozen customers at that same I&O. Not dinner rush; ambient was 82-degrees and all of the cars were late-model years.

6) I analyze four tick charts. Four. Neither the underlyings nor the periodicity changes.

Welcome to the drive thru, the great equalizer. Doesn't matter who you are, once in that lane you are now part of the mindless herd, at the mercy of the 21st century cattleman who sits anonymously behind the window.
The only thing that surprises me is that there isn't a shooting at a drive thru on an hourly basis.

 

[Arnie]

In & Out is worth the wait.
I'm gonna give you a 1, anyway. Surprised you didn't shoot #1 driver or the manager.

 

[lucysparabola]

came searching for possible reasons for being MIA, was not disappointed. 8/10 on search results and 5/10 on the drive thru response. most of that 5 comes from the lols of dog food, choosing life, and the gift card hail Mary.

How I see it... You seem like a good father for putting up with all that bullshit for your son.

10/10 if you would have punched asshole #1 in the face and got away with it.

 

[ElCubano]

Man you would have been sent back to your car with your tail between your legs if you tried that down here. Rate a big ZERO for showing your son what a loser behaves like.

That deserves about 10 likes. The guy needs help.

I don't think they have In&Out in Little Havana, Junior.

Aww you're not friends with atticus no more?
