All these fucking soyboys, jesus christ.
THIS is how you say it:
>Hi, I want the X.

>thinking about what you want
The praetorian way is to on the fly, and without autism, order the meal in the most natural way. That way you're never pigeon holed into one style that could fall out of favor.

>>11882313

Also, they really dont care how you are doing either.

>having to actually think about what you are going to say at a drive thru
You are just as much soy as them

>>11882392
Then they should just get straight to the point instead of sticking to the script corporate hands down to them
You'd think a place where they're judged how fast the drive thru line moves would try to process orders as fast as possible.

>>11882405
Sometimes I ask them to wait until I'm ready. It's a power move.

>>Which one?

If he said hamburger or cheeseburger there wouldn't be an issue, however he is clearly autistic so we must bear with him.

There should be a pre-queue area where cars can sit and enable the occupents to view the menu.
Only at that point should vehicles enter the actual queue, when they have decided exactly what they want.

Damned if I don't love taco bell tho.

It's that instead of a dignified existence, they are imprisoned and treated like children.

sometimes it's worth it.
one of the last trips to taco bell, the girl working drive thru was super nice and had a perfect way of working the speaker. when I got to the window there was two gals and I let them know that It was nice to have such a good experience at a drive thru speaker.

when you say "the" you are referring to a selection on the menu, not the stock of food, so when you only want one you just say "the"

What is worse is the double lane drive thrus. The idiotfuck boomers don't understand that the first person to order pulls up to pay first. I've had the dumblefuck in the left lane audibly order second and finish after me to then get mad when I attempt to pull to the window to pay. And I've seen it happen to other people. I guess you cant expect old people eating fast food to be smart but jesus christ.

>>11883111
>The idiotfuck boomers don't understand that the first person to order pulls up to pay first

Rules that only exist in the minds of zoomers, everyone.

>>11882908
https://youtu.be/nEoR2K-diLg

>>11883111
No you dummy the polite way to do it is to alternate who gets to go through. Left lane, right lane, left lane, right lane. Unless one lane is clogged up by a single mother ordering for her 6 kids, then you can pull ahead without alternating.

>>11883118
The rule first come first serve?

>>11883127
If that were the case the fucking obesity trawler would slow down everyone. The point is speed.

>>11883130
The boomer is ready to be served first.
The zoomer wishes to hold up everyone behind them, because they are a self-entitled brat.

>yeah I'll do the

>>11883137
If somebody is still ordering in the left lane and you're in the right and can pull ahead, then go for it.
If the line is full enough that the person in the left lane has finished ordering while you're waiting for the car ahead to pull up, then you let them go through.
You right laners are so entitled, and fuck up the whole left lane by cockblocking them just because you technically put your order in first.

>>11883145
Are you retarded?

>>11883156
>t. zoomer

>>11883155
You are the one cutting in line when you do this. Just because you are on the left doesn't entitle you to skip ahead in line.

>>11883156

>>11883163
It's not cutting when the person in the right lane has some decency and lets you go first, you selfish zoomer
It's all "me me me" with you fucks
Proper lane etiquette is to alternate

>number 1, no ketchup, pepsi
>*drive off to window*
if im talking to a machine im gonna treat it like a machine

>>11883179
It's not a fucking road, it's a fucking line. First come first serve. What difference does it make if you actually go when it's your fucking turn.

>>11881837
Can i git uh uh number 1 without pickles
Make the fries extra crispy and don't add salt
Dr. Pepper without ice
and uh apple pie

>>11883189
The left lane has no space in the area between the speaker and the line.
The right lane has one car's worth of area between the speaker and the line.
Therefore the left lane can only take one order, then they pull up.
The right lane can take an order, have the car pull ahead into the space in between the speaker and the first lane while another car behind them orders.
Therefore if you're in the right lane in the area between the speaker and the left lane, you let the left lane go ahead of you, even if they JUST finished ordering.
How hard is it to alternate? Left go. Right go. Repeat.
This is assuming the line is fully congested, if it's empty, then yes, first come first serve.
This isn't a difficult concept to understand.

>>11883089
I understand, but I've always found it to sound a bit odd, especially when the Dutch started translating it.

>>11883226
If you take two cars worth of people to order and then expect to cut that's your fault. There is NO reason the left lane should expect to be allowed to get ahead in line based solely on being in the left lane. You apparently think it's like merging in traffic when you qere the asshole who stayed in the dying lane until the last second and not a food line.

>>11883247
If the left lane is still actively ordering and you pull ahead, that's no problem
But if they're done ordering, and the car ahead of you came from the right lane, you let the left lane go through when there is space.

There were some days where I would cou t hiw many times they said uhhhhh and when I read their order back I'd insert that many. Fucking idiots.

"I need the" is easily the worst. You don't need it, fatasses.

I hate these double lanes so much because I've been cucked before enough. Nothing worse than pulling in first and no answer then 5seconds later you hear the guy who just pulled in after you getting his order taken. Now if there's any chance of competition I just pull right through, order at the payment window, and ignore the wagecuck at the pickup window until I can see my bag of food. Fuck the double lane system.

Here in Hawaii it is a legitimate question because our fast food places fucking suck on stocking and never have new products on time.

The interior infrastructure is also just as shit for the double lanes. It’s very unclear which car came from which lane. There’s supposed to be cameras to check, but they never work. We weren’t supposed to ask a car if the order was right since that made us look stupid, but so many people paid for or got the wrong thing because those lanes mixed people up till the first order chronologically was 3 cars back. I just wound up asking any car I suspected fucking up the order, especially during breakfast when people got pissed at the slightest inconvenience, it was better for me to bother them slightly than get them yelling for a manager that probably wasn’t there.
