Wren already mentioned how this worked. But it reminded me that a lot of fresh-made burger places around here have drive thrus. And I always want to kick myself when I go through one, because it's pointless. Even if I want one to-go, it's going to take like 7-10 mins, I might as well go in and wait and not sit in my car, especially in summer and winter.

I tend not to use drive throughs even on the rare occasion that I go to fast food places. Usually the line is 10 times longer than what it is just to park and walk in to order to go. Not to mention most places here have such tight use of real estate you have to end up driving around the building 2-3 times when using the drive through instead of just pulling in an out of the regular parking.

Ironically, the last time I used a drive through was at the pizza place I mentioned since I was just grabbing a cheese pizza to take home and knew there would almost certainly be one waiting.

 
Pizza drive thrus suck.  I once ordered a pizza online and I arrived around 5 minutes after the estimated completion time.  I walked up to the door and it was locked.  It was an hour before closing and this dude was pointing me to the drive thru.  I literally had to wait over ten minutes while they were making a pizza for this dude in front. I half contemplated whether to leave or not but I really wanted my stuffed crust. I ended up doing some angry passive aggressive customer survey.

Great, just great--according to a walkthrough for Legend of Kay, I already missed a heart container (required for a trophy) and two optional quests in the first chapter and can't get back to them now that I'm in Ch. 2. Looks like I'll have to start over.

That was the other part of why I quit. Plat on one playthrough also requires use of a guide, which I hate. Once I realized that (late in chapter 2) I realized it was foolish to be on Nightmare mode but I had gone far enough that I didn't want to start over.

I also had several review games on tap, so at that point I just traded it in for what I could get and figured I'll maybe play the game later if it ever is cheap enough, on normal mode.

So the game itself wasn't awful at all, I like Zelda-esque adventures. I just made the dumb mistake of starting on the hardest difficulty, which wasn't hard just aggravating and combat was super dull.

 
Anybody play Lords of the Fallen at all, btw? I don't recall seeing anybody with that trophy pic when it came out but that was almost a year ago. Right now I'm about halfway through the first playthrough and expect to finish that this weekend. Subsequent playthroughts should only be 4-5 hours long. It's not at all bad so far. Probably going to do a write-up like I did for Senran Kagura since it seems like it didn't get much attention in here.

We are hooked on Dunkin Donuts iced tea. I will frequently use the drive through at one near my house or the one near my job. It is really convenient after work. I usually turn down that side street anyway to avoid the traffic at the next big intersection. If the drive through is busy I will park and go inside. But for pretty much anything else I rather go inside. Half the time they can't hear me or I can't hear them.

Plus the fuck you at the drive through.

Yep. Same when I worked tech support. Any asshole that came in was going to do a lot more troubleshooting than the reasonable dude who just answered the questions I had to ask so I could send him on his way.

Same. For almost 10 years I did helpdesk and sysadmin stuff at my previous job (ISP). If the customer was cool and local I would be like bring it in if you want I will take a look. Others that were assholes I did just enough to solve the problem and get them off the phone.

When I was in Madison, WI I worked at a local ISP. Sometimes we'd have people bring in their computers since everybody was pretty local. We'd work on those over the weekend. You know the first thing we'd do is look for porn. One dumbass brought his PC loaded down with kiddie porn.

Never really looked at their personal stuff. Did have one bitch who hated the service. Called to complain about not being able to get on. Or it was slow or whatever (it was dialup). Anyway she was the sister of someone who was a big deal at a larger account of ours so I tried not to piss her off. Eventually either her brother moved on to another job or we lost that account can't recall which. After that the owner would take her call (if he happened to be in) and try convince her to quit. He offered her a full refund (she paid either half a year or full). She wouldn't quit. One night she calls and bitches that her email is stuck again and will not download. So I look at it has a large attachment. I kill her session and issue a few commands on the server and tell her she has a 10MB attachment (or whatever size it was) which will take 30 mins to download on dialup. The attachment name is flushy.mpg. I said would you like me to open the attachment to see what it is or I can delete it. She got all flustered and ended the call.

Can't remember if she had me delete the email or told me not to. I do remember what the short little video clip was about. Though.

It was an X-rated swirly.

She didn't call (at least not that I picked up for months).

I've also had times when I ordered the pizza through the website the night before because I would be busy doing something else in the morning and planned to pick-up at lunch time, but that's a crap shoot. It seems like half the time time I order it for a day later the computer loses the order.

At least it's chapter 1 and not chapter 74. Unless there are 74 stages per chapter.

I started Matt Hazard 1 on normal difficulty then 3 chapters in I decided "I don't want to have to do this shit completely over again" (as I thought it might be more fun on normal) so I abandoned that playthrough and restarted on hard.

Tequila smells and tastes like butt to me. A nice glass of bourbon cannot be beat in my book.

Also hoping it's that time of the month where the Playstation store is visited by her Aunt Flash.

I generally always go in whenever I'm carrying out. I can take my time deciding what I want, I can look the order taker in the eye so they are more likely to get the order right, I can swipe my own CC (or keep it in my eyesight), I can control my soda to ice ratio, I'm not burning gas, etc.

I only have 30 minutes for lunch, so at some of the places near me that are somewhere between fast food and proper sit down, I would often call ahead so that it could be close to ready by the time i arrived. But this one place it's their policy not to start cooking the fries until the customer gets there. So despite me calling ahead, it still takes awhile for the order to come out and because they are rushing it, the fries come out undercooked and dripping with grease because they go pretty much straight from the vat into paper pouch for serving.

A Domino's with a drive through where you can order multiple topping pizzas? I guess I could understand if it is like the place near me that always has pepperoni's and cheese available via a drive through. I realize you aren't doing fine dining at the chain pizza places, but a made to order pizza fast enough for a drive through would have me a bit concerned.

Are you talking about Little Sneezers? Their pizza is disgusting; talk about bubble guts.

Speaking of the drive thru, you guys know how In-N-Out burgers are one of my favorites. I'd never wait in a drive thru line for one of their burgers that's this ridiculous.

There hasn't been a time when I've gone through Popeye's drive through that I didnt have to pull forward and wait.

(because everyone knows how exciting drive through stories are)

Wow people are pathetically stupid.

In N Out drive thru sucks. It's one of those places where their burgers are made pretty fresh, so it takes fucking forever.

No, local chain. Similar production line sort of deal but the pizza is actually serviceable. For $6 carry-out it is a really good value. I still prefer a pizza form a better local place, but since it is 2.5x the cost we do not frequent it as often.

I think Little Caesar's has gotten better than it was back in my college days, but it is still not very good. That pretzel crust pizza sounded good, but it was disgusting. That cheese sauce on it smelled like vomit.

 
Yeah I tried the new bacon crust pizza at Little Cesars and while the bacon around the crust was actually good, the pizza blew.

But at least they are "hot and ready".  So if your hungry right now and cheap it can work for you.

Even though thats partly on me. I should have questioned the rationale. Why the fuck would the person taking phone orders ever even suggest waiting in the drive through!? STUPID! fuck!

She said the woman taking her order asked if she wanted to pick up through the drive through. So she said I could do that. I guess I was feeling lazy but I did that.

There are probably not a surprising amount of barbecue partakers who would rather wait in line 5-10 minutes then get out and walk inside.

She might have also meant, but not outright stated, (if there is no one currently in line) you can drive up and pick up your order right away. There is a local barbecue place that has a drive through window which you can for pick-up (mainly because the building used to be a fast food restaurant), but they make it obvious as there is a menu board and a speaker outside to order from that you might have to wait.

Was there a speaker and a menu board at the restaurant you ordered food from?

 
So recent questions from reading the thread that I am wondering if I really want to know the answer to:

1) How does mpaullin know what butt tastes like?

2) What the fuck is an X-rated swirly?

 
Hastings is having a B1G1 on used games, DVDs, Blurays, books, and music.  Their website finally seems to be functioning as I finally put 3 orders in to maximize the savings after struggling for 2 1/2 hours to get shit to load/the code to apply.

Hey Gator, how long does it take to plat lego jurassic world?

After the story is over, probably another 10-15 hours. That is with using a guide to make sure you have all the right characters before starting free play and to know where all the mini-kits are in the levels. Also, making use of the save and exit when you have all the stuff from a level is a big time saver. The hub stuff isn't too bad in it like the Batman or LOTR games after you have found all the information points that show you where you are missing collectibles.

I am going to take a stab in the dark that it is a normal swirly (person upside down with their head dunked in a flushing or stagnant water toilet) except the swirlee is simultaneously receiving some manner of sexual gratification from the swirler.

More or less this. IRC she was pretty hot and he was pretty well endowed but still this was the general idea.
