What you’re talking about goes way beyond drive-thrus. Sounds like you’re in an area with shitty ppl and shitty city planning.
Yes, the city planning is terrible! I don't understand how anyone in City Hall would allow a strip mall or drive-thru on a four-lane road with a 40 mile an hour speed limit.
Even worse, the sidewalk is lined with trees and utility poles which partially block your vision whenever you enter or exit these facilities.
Then again, most of the country is built this way!
I don't blame the people. Folks in that area treat me pretty nice when I'm eating, shopping, or taking transit. You don't see the shitty until you get in the car.
Still, I have to wonder about the guy who woke up Christmas morning and concocted a hair brained to cut the line at a damn Starbucks. It would have been safer and faster to park at the mall next door and walk inside.
But in this country were sold on the illusion of convenience even when it's a pain in the ass.
