#DriveThrus

2024-01-26

Every time I go past this drive-thru window at a local Burger King, it just strikes me as funny. It doesn't say, "Continue to other window," or "Please pay at next window," or anything like that.

It just says, "The other window."

But if this is "the other window," then shouldn't I have driven past a *first* window earlier? (There is no earlier window.)

My editorial OCD is so set off by this. 😂

A fast food drive-thru window. Behind the glass, there is no cash register, no worker, and no indication that the window station is a working drive-thru station. On the left side behind the glass, there are some shelves of fast food restaurant supplies. 

On the right side of the glass, someone has hung a piece of paper that reads only "The Other Window."

“Chains trying to address congestion by adding more lanes just encourage more cars to come. Accidents are so common that personal injury lawyers around the country specifically advertise to people injured at drive-thrus. Experts say pedestrian safety can be improved by tightly managing access along arterial roads and locating drive-thrus away from them.”
