Starbuck's Drive Thru

The Starbucks drive thru should come with these rules:

1) If you are ordering for 10 people, go inside.   Otherwise the 10th coffee should be thrown in your face because you obviously have no concept of the other people in the drive thru.   That large of an order can be understood and tolerated inside.

2) If you do not know what you want, you should order inside.  Most, if not all, Starbuck drive thrus are crowded so you have time to think about your order.  If you don't know the sizes or drink combos, take your questions and your free time inside.

3) Friendly banter with the person taking your order or serving you is reserved for inside as well.  Not to say you cannot say "thank you" or "have a nice day" but asking how little Jenny is doing in preschool is inside garbage.  You like her pullover and would like to know where she got it?  Go inside and try that shit on. 

4) Ordering multiple breakfast sandwiches?   You guessed it, get your ass inside for that BS.

5) If you are hard of hearing, probably best to order inside where you can hear a little better. 

6) Once you move forward, there is no going back.   Like life, this is just the way it is.  Deal with it.

7) GET OFF THE PHONE!  "Let me call you back, I am in the line at Starbucks and about to order".   That was tough.  Don't you dare get back on the phone before you pay!   That is a good way to get strangled.

8) If you are not good at parking your SUV, maybe the drive thru is not for you.   Maybe driving is not for you either.

9) If they made a mistake on your order, GO INSIDE AND GET IT FIXED!  You do not go back through the drive thru.  The air inside the store is not toxic.  You will get your order taken care of better in there than through the drive thru.

10) If your paying mechanism (cash, credit card, gift card) is in your purse, than maybe, just maybe, you should have your purse within grabbing distance.  Not in your back seat where you cannot reach it.  While you are back there try and locate your brain.  It is not that hard.

Soon I will rant about the people in the store but that is for another time.
