Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I do this all the time. Ordering to-go is faster. I hate paying extra in tips for slower service at a table inside the restaurant. Loud people talking, and louder music to cover the loud people talking.

I can listen to the music I enjoy in my car. I admit I park in a different parking lot to avoid some of the awkwardness.

I too have done this for the speed. If I could refuse service at a normal restaurant and just grab food and drinks myself I would.

That's called fast food.

I do this too. P and E my friend.

Well I prefer fast food's service model, if not always the actual food.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

The bad food is the product of that service model.

[–]UncountablyFinite 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think so. I think the model is a result of two things. First, restaurants where you don't want several courses, or are okay with getting all your food at once. That, obviously, tends not to be at very nice restaurants. Second, restaurants that are designed more around the actual food than the experience (or "ambiance"). This means that in general that service model accompanies cheaper food in more casual restaurants. It does not mean though, that the bad food is the result of the service model. It is closer to the model being a result of the food, but really it's just a correlation.

I would love a fast food place that had just two options every day, but switched it up and always made quality shit.

There's plenty of meal options that they could make a big batch of and still have it taste good and be pretty healthy.

I really just want decent indian/himalayan/thai/Mediterranean/chinese food quick and from a drive thru, and for like $6-7 with iced tea.

I have done this with fast food. I hate eating inside most of those places. There are loud fucking beeps all the time and the furniture is all plastic and often dirty.

[–]sciarrillo 15 points16 points ago

yeah seriously, why would I eat inside when i have my own personally controlled environment that comes with built in entertainment and privacy barriers?

[–]r00x 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not to mention drive-thru gets priority service over the rabble inside.

[–]Shadow703793 0 points1 point ago

Not to mention AC! During Summer when there's a lot of people in side, it gets bloody hot.

This is not socially awkward it's a preference thing

[–]joemcirish[S] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I thought about that after posting. I should have mentioned that the restaurants where I do this aren't necessarily drive-thru. These are nice sit-down type places.

If you're a thirteen year old girl and you're high on marijuana, don't ride your bicycle.

I do this when I am in the Ghetto fast food places. I don't have to listen to someone bitch about their fries ain't "hot" while trying to get a free cup of water but most importantly I can make sure my car isn't stole while eating.

[–]zydrateanatomy 1 point2 points ago

My partner and I do this when we get pizza. Otherwise it gets cold before we can get it home!

[–]Paperclip222 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah it's a good idea... until you pull up next to a park car who has another person doing the same exact thing and you both make eye contact. Then it's just adds another level of socially awkwardness.

[–]vladdad 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Goddammit. So true. I'm all happy eating my big mac, toking, listening to music and some 300 pound dude pulls up next to me and periodically glances at me while consuming his myriad of dollar menu items. Happened today... and that shit is awkwarddddd.

[–]Moregunsthanpatience 1 point2 points ago

I just don't like going into a sitdown restaurant alone. It makes me look that much more alone.

I'm getting nostalgic tears for a thing that has never happened. If you are ever in my town, meet me at Burger King.

[–]osoleve 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I used to do this all the time due to a mix of

  • shame for eating fast food
  • not wanting to eat alone in public
  • wanting to toke up and eat at the same time

My worst nightmare was when someone would pull up next to me and do the same thing. I was so ashamed to be caught eating in my car that I didn't take into account that they were eating in their car, too.

[–]kimberleykitty 0 points1 point ago

I've done this all the time! Eat in parking lot, when someone parks near . . .wait until they're gone to take another bite.
