They used to come out with a menu card. Laminated. With the choices on it.
100% this. Except it really takes no extra effort at all. It takes a certain level of oblivious to not know what a place sells before going in the drive thru, or needing to see the pretty picture of the food to decide what you want. And you know what? That kid that has the ipad and is taking your order so that you can get through faster -- he or she probably knows what is on the menu better than you and if you were to, I don't know, ask a question, they would probably answer it. Unless it was "what do you have here" at WB or CFA, in which case I would hope the kid would pull out a hammer or pipe and bash you with it.schmellba99 said:My gripe is not with a fast food restaurant that goes out of their way to get people through the line, up to and including hiring more people specifically to stand outside, essentially inventing the multiple lane drive through, having payment options right there instead of taking your CC inside to process it, and generally revolutionizing the fast food industry through service all restaurants are currently chasing right now.chickencoupe16 said:

Nope. My gripe will be with the selfish SOB that thinks they are so important that, despite all of the above, they should still be further catered to and who cannot be bothered to put any effort into the process. Becaue reading a menu that has barely changed in 40 years is hard, but playing on facebook or texags or (more likely) looking at fat dude porn is more important.
Meanwhile, that same selfish SOB would lose their ever loving mind if somebody did essentially the same thing to them in a different setting.

Another one to add: when I order the Number 1 and get asked, the sandwich or the meal? Well the Number 1 is a combo. My order literally tells you the answer before you even ask the question.
And yes, I know this is CYA for the idiots that will ***** because they ordered a Number 1 and got a meal when they really wanted just the sandwich.

I've done a ton of work on my Honda's and it's 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 17mm...and that's about it. No Torix, no oddball sizes, standard push plastic fasteners that most everyone else uses.schmellba99 said:This brought up another one that I can't believe I didn't think of yesterday:cavscout96 said:
Volkswagen's insane choice of fasteners that no normal person has the the socket, wrench, etc size in there tool box.
Why do auto manufacturers (mostly domestic, but some foreign) insist on having standard and metric sized bolts and nuts? FUGGIN WHY???? Pick one - IDGAS - but pick ONE and go with it. Metric? Fine. Standard? Fine. But using both is enough to make me want to club baby seals in front of a room full of cancer children at St. Jude's.
Also....why can't auto makers find a way to use the same size bolt/nut as much as possible on a vehicle? Seems that would be a huge cost savings for them with purchasing, machinery, tools, etc. There is absolutely no reason almost every fastener can't be a 13mm or 5/8" socket. You should be able to grab one or the other (because you know it's metric or standard, you ******* auto makers) and do 90% of the basic automotove work required. The fact that I have to have 26 different sockets out, which I always grab the wrong friggin one, is enough that I would gladly vote "not guilty" if a mechanic went to Detroit and eliminated the entire engineering department at Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc. in a fit of absolute rage and anger.

Sorry, but that's really not true for most fast food places
nope....never had someone wait.chickencoupe16 said:People have already mentioned the handles which, yes, are hard to see from a distance but are definitely visible before pulling into a lane. Many pumps also have green hoses for the diesel and many pumps have "diesel" flags at the top.agracer said:How is anyone supposed to know that some pumps have gas/diesel and some have gas only? It's not obvious until you pull into the gas lane that a pump has both handles. And honestly at the places I get gas, I assumed ALL the pumps had both, not just a few.docb said:
I get mad at the people taking up the diesel pumps but I really think they have no idea. Should just make diesel pumps separate and we would not have to deal with this.
Legitimate question: my dad drove a diesel when I was a kid and passed it to me when I turned 16, so I have always been aware of pumps. That said, I've sat waiting for plenty of gas cars to fill up while several gas only pumps were available. Have you (or anyone else) never wondered why someone seemed to want your exact pump even though there were many others available?

That's almost as bad as "I'm going to maintain safe distance" driver in rush hour traffic...They pause and wait to accelerate while traffic ahead moves to maintain that distance, and then a few cars jump in front of them and your line is basically going backwards!CanyonAg77 said:
Old man gripe: The "this is my speed" driver.
Going down a two lane road, speed limit 70. "My speed" driver is going 60, impeding traffic like a boulder in the middle of a stream. You finally manage to pass them, going 90 for a short distance to avoid getting smashed by oncoming traffic.
Two miles later, you hit town, speed limit drops to 45, you drop to 45. Seconds later, here come "My speed", still serenely going 60, and passes you. You both get held up at the one stop light in town. Get the other side of town, limit goes back up to 70, oh look! You're trapped behind "My speed" at 60 mph again.
Chevy, Ford, Dodge, GM, Chrysler, Toyota (albiet very limited), Kawasaki (again, very limited) and probably most other manufacturers.agracer said:I've done a ton of work on my Honda's and it's 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 17mm...and that's about it.

I've never seen SAE and Metric on the same vehicle though. Who does that?

They still do, last time I was there anyway they did. It's been a minute, though I doubt it's changed.mpl35 said:

If somebody's going over 20-25 miles an hour above the speed limit, I could care less if I'm going slower than that. The type I'm talking about are weaving in and out of traffic; it doesn't matter how fast everyone else is going, they are still going to drive in a reckless manner.

DGAF how fast you are going and if you think it's fast enough. If somebody in the left lane is riding you or you are being passed by people in the right hand lane, get the hell out of the passing lane. I really don't like most traffic laws because I think they are dumb, but i would rejoice at seeing a statewide push to enforce "left lane for passing" by all LEO agencies.

no no. It was just a small minority that the cares about the lack of menu and lack of reading the menu. Most are menubivelent.Sea Speed said:
