/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>No tipping
Truly the pinnacle of human civilisation.

>>19352027
Ummm, it looks like a Lionel train set had a baby with an automat?
And "no tipping"?
What God-forsaken piece of lost history is this?
Give me a name, or better yet, a wikipedia article.

Clearly it's because of "NO PARKING"

>>19352027
>How come it doesn't exist anymore?
What is it? I literally can't tell from any of the posts in this thread what we are talking about, and OP's pic is absolutely fucking useless.

Drive-In Diner
Cars parked at an automated drive-in diner, where individual conveyor belts transport food directly to the driver, Califonia, circa 1950. (Photo by FPG/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

>>19352078
Oh. I can guess why it failed. The conveyor belts were clearly not protected from the elements, and the high carbon metal probably rusted and fell apart.

>>19352078
I'm 58 years old, and I've NEVER seen or heard of this kind of thing.
I've seen drive-in diners with waitresses on roller skates, wait staff on foot, but this is something that's completely alien to me.
What's the fucking name? How many were there?
Sounds like you just found a random image on the net, and started a troll thread.

>Sounds like you just found a random image on the net, and started a troll thread.
How is that a troll thread. The whole point of this thread is to ask more information about it. Are you dumb on purpose to not understand the whole concept of a discussion board?

>>19352130
No-fucking-body alive today knows anything about it.
If YOU don't know anything about it, why in the FUCK are you asking us?
"Hey, some random nonsense I found in a picture once is a complete mystery to me, so I thought I'd ask a bunch of gen-x (and younger) people to explain it to me!"
Why don't you just ask /ck/ what civil war rations tasted like?

>>19352173
Hey Mr. Tight-Ass, why don't you go to the psychiatrist instead of sharing your frustrations with us.

>>19352182
Shitty fucking thread.
"You all be d-d-dumbasses cuz you know less than I do"

>>19352182
Hey, Mr. Dumb-ass, why don't you actually answer my questions?

>>19352196
>Hey, Mr. Dumb-ass, why don't you actually answer my questions?
No.

>>19352198

>>19352078
What you described never existed.

>>19352027
>How come it doesn't exist anymore?
It still does retard.

>>19352206
No you is retard. Stop making fun of me. Me cry cry myself to sleep.

>>19352027
What's "it?"
Drive-through's still exist
Spots to park and order food from your car still exist (Sonic)
If you mean this specific conveyer belt system the reason is that it's expensive and retarded. It takes up tons of valuable space, requires lots of repair and maint, looks ugly as fuck, and doesn't actually solve any real problem.

This sort of thing would probably would work better if they used pneumatic tubes and sold sub sandwiches. Also, people would probably steal the plastic containers.
Yeah, 10 years of BLM has kinda made me a little bit jaded about a lot of things.

>>19352027
why are you nostalgic for something you weren't alive for? you're no different than zoomers wanting the 80s back

>>19352224
I'm not a zoomer and I want the 2018's back.
Imagine a world where food costed less than half as much as it does now.

>>19352222
Checked and I didn't want to be the one to say it, but we can't have cool things like this in the USA anymore because certain "people" would vandalize it.

Try the dgVoodoo option in the new win10fix settings.
Alternative: Update your AAU and see if it happens again. If so, disable win10fix, enable wined3d and software vertex processing.

stop eating fast food and learn to cook faggot

>>19352274
What idiots such as you fail to realize is that not everyone like you brings a lunchbox to work or has to deal with a punch clock and sometimes just buying some stuff from fast food works out by billing.

>>19352274
Cope

>>19352293
no and what does cope with that shit even mean?
I mean that means crickets becuase you cant even explain your own bullshit.

>>19352283
Haha, you got ice burned by a rich person, you poorfag esl speaker. Stop being so poor, you stupid fuck.

>>19352293
Where did you did get that retarded "cope" bullshit from? It wasn't from this board.

bring back pneumatic tubes and use them for fast food drive thrus

Almost all of them are flat chested. The baby formula industry exists for a reason.

>>19352339
>bring back pneumatic tubes and use them for fast food drive thrus
How does that make any sense? For Sonic, yes. For McDonald's, no.

>>19352350
shoot the food through fucking pneumatic capsules

Why does every /ck/ thread devolve into racism?

>>19352173
>No-fucking-body alive today knows anything about it.
how do you know what everyone else knows? what makes you so sure of yourself?

>>19352339
Niggers would just steal the cylinders that the food comes in.

>>19352404
just add their cost to the price of the food and refund the customer if they return it. kinda like the recycle tax

>>19352027
>>19352136
This is some fallout shit

>>19352130
Shit parking job. Most ppl suck at driving and don't know the size of their cars.

AI generated ?

none of that is my problem. learn to cook

i don't think you know what that means. remember to lurk 5 years before posting

Most of us aren't even going to be alive in 5 years

>>19352541
sure thing bud

>>19352173
I'm old enough to remember drive-ins and automats. They didn't go away, they just evolved into drive-throughs and convenience store food counters like Wawa or Sheetz.

>>19352027
There's like 4 or 5 Sonics within 10 miles of me. Drive-ups didn't go anywhere.

WHY???

>>19352541
So you already know about my brain tumor???

>>19352800
Stealing is in their DNA.

>>19352597
Sure, now tell me all about the absurd system in OP's pic.
We ALL know about drive-ins and at least have historical knowledge of automats, but if there is ANYBODY here that has ANY memory of this absurd conveyor system, please tell us all about it.
Not a difficult concept, really.

Thank God they're using birth control at least.

Out of sight, out of mind. Where I live, it's easy to pretend they don't exist because I can easily avoid them.

why, not "how come," you absolute fucking retard

>>19352027
Drive-ins are by and large pretty dead since drive-through is a better way to serve food to people in cars.

You were born in the mid-60s, while this thing existed in the early 50s. It was probably unremarkable for its time. It just died a quiet death, very little of it was documented, and your elders didn't think it was important to share.

>>19356759
>can you pull around front and park please

what's the real difference now

>>19357019
Still worse, since with drive through the cars only have to stop long enough to order, process payment, and get their food. With the system you propose, you'd also have to wait for someone to bring the food out to the car on top of everything else. If you want to eat your food parked in the parking lot, you can do that anyways and without the delay of some minimum wage laborer having to walk your food out to you.

>>19352206
this isn't real

>>19352027
Model train enthusiasts lost their shit over this exploitation

>>19352078

>Why doesn't this horribly inefficient and expensive gimmick no longer exist?

Presumably because paying some teenager to carry the food to the car is a thousand times cheaper than installing all that shit and keep it in working condition.

>>19352339
>bring back

What the fuck are you doing here?
Shouldn’t you be playing with grandkids? Whittling a stick into a smaller stick?
Falling asleep in front of the tv with a half-empty PBR in your hands?

bruh we have a magic tv wall you can order your food from how is that less cool that some 'fast food of the future' gimmickery?

1-Dave Thomas and the drive-thru killed it with optimum efficiency for both customer and owner. 2 or 3 employees can serve a dozen people in the time 4 or 5 could cover half that

2-car design changed. Cars for smaller and the window design changed so that balancing a tray on them was next to impossible and maneuvering food about was fairly messy and inconvenient. We had a drive in across from my school when I was a kid and every other day someone’s window shattered because it didn’t fully retract into the door or a tray slipped off a curved window and shattered 20lbs of icy cold root beer in big glass mugs.
It was a great novelty but between the risks of having employees on roller skates and other pains in the ass it just doesn’t work like it used to.
Sonic and Swansons still do it but it just isn’t the same

they only use it for gay sex.

Have you tried looking in a mirror?

>>19352130
These threads are stupid as fuck. You are the one that went on the internet to find photos about it. Why are you asking us? You already have the most knowledge about it than anyone and have it open on google. If you want to tell us about it, tell us about it.

>>19352027
Because drive-through lanes are faster and more efficient, and the restaurant needs less space since people don't park there and eat, but rather drive and eat and crash into other cars while eating in their car. #WINNING
