Had a guy this weekend race to wedge his way in front of me, thus blocking me from turning right. If he had just gotten behind me, I would have turned right and he would have been in the exact same place in line.
I dont want apps for all the random drive-thrus. Having an app for Wendys when I go there like once every 6-8 weeks is of 0 interest to me.
I used to do it when my daughter played soccer. The fields were 3 minutes from McDonald’s so she’d get in the car. I would order, (normally I had enough points or there was a special that saved me money). Pull up, give my code, pull up to the second window and be on my way.
Yeah, that is definitely a scenario where it could work well. Close enough to not have the food sit for long and its part of a routine so the app gets regular use.
Assuming that someone is actively driving because they are behind the wheel is the problem. Idiots on cell phones…
Not to mention with the sheer volume of food a Sixpacker requires, it's a hassle to pass that much through the window
It is amazing the extent to which people are oblivious to others and think only of themselves. The entrance to my neighborhood doesn't have a dedicated turn lane, but if the first car pulls all the way up at the light you can easily make the right turn in. But never fails, some car will stop about 12 feet short, blocking the way, not bothering to move up a little help out the person behind them who is obvously trying to turn in. And it's a loooong light.
I feel like there are half of us lodging these complaints and half of us causing them. Either completely oblivious or intentional. Yet 90% of people will let you in to bumper to bumper traffic when you get their attention so maybe it’s just oblivious.
Your group text keeps it real
Apps are the only way to go if you do fast food. I pick up breakfast most mornings. There are many app exclusive deals at all of the places. McDonald's has buy one breakfast sandwich get another for free right now. It also makes ordering much more straight forward especially if you want customization such as no pickles. This way you only have to say picking up OJ41 or your name depending on the place. They all have GPS so they don't start the order til you get close. I am able to pay with a virtual card to provide an additional layer of protection and don't have to pull out a wallet or hand someone my phone. You also get points even when you use the deals so you can use rewards if there is not a deal you are interested in.
I have never had a mistake from the app. I trust me entering in the information that is delivered straight to a screen than me speaking that order through a speaker to someone then punching it in. Although most have verification screens. I’m the same way with call in to go orders at restaurants. You should have an online order option or I’m less likely to order. People screw up writing things down vs me selecting it online.
That’s true but I skip someone when it’s two lanes and I pull up, give my number before the person in the other lane completes their order. Plus they have them pull up if my order is ready and theirs is not.
This. The original complaint was the people in line who dont move along, not the inability to communicate.
App or no app, it's almost always faster to go inside to get your food than go through the drive through. Speaking of apps though, one thing that p*sses me off about the CFA app is I can order on the app then drive to the restaurant. But they don't start making my order until I get there. I mean, I've already paid for it. Go ahead and start making it so it'll be ready when I get there. How hard is that?
That’s why I don’t really care for the Sonic app. Especially since our Sonic is slow as Christmas.
