Drive-Thru Etiquette (Part Three)


5. Person closest to the speaker needs to order. You may think it is cute that your little child is ordering by herself but it is hard to hear when she is all the way in the back of the car. If the person closest to the speaker doesn’t have the ability to order for everyone in the car than some else should switch spots with them. This kind of goes along the line with the speak clearly part because its also harder to hear someone farther away. You can always tell which cars these are because when they pull up to pay there is a man or women driving but the person who took the order had the opposite voice. 

6. Don’t Hold Up the Line. This isn’t a problem when we aren’t busy but when you sit at the sign trying to figure out what you want and cars are piling up behind you waiting to order creates a problem. Not only are you creating traffic jam but you are also making us more busier than we should be. If you don’t know what to order come inside and figure it out. That way you can order when you are ready and not prevent anyone from going ahead of you. 

7. Try not to order anything else at the window. I know it happens sometimes, you forget to order something at the speaker but it does slow us down. This isn’t much of a problem when we aren’t busy but if we are then the person usually at window has to stop and make the order instead of continuing to collect money and hand out the items. I will forgive you if it’s an ice cream cone or a dilly bar, but if it requires more work like a blizzard than that’s a different matter to deal with.
