In fairness, have you tried being outside lately. So hot. No idea why, but there's no way I want to be outside right now. I'm going to prefer sitting inside my 2 ton box and blast the A/C using my gas powered engine until it cools off a bit.

No idea why? gas is kind of a big part of why
It's gotta be artful sarcasm
Oh yeah that went way over my head
Yeah you have to be better at knowing when people are serious or not.
Some places are drive-thru only after a certain hour or worse don't even have a dine-in option at all. I remember walking to a fast food joint next to my old apartment one night since it was the only place open and they wouldn't let me order because I wasn't in a car.
To be fair, drive-in also exists in Europe and really took a flight during Covid.
To rub it in there's all that free parking and just one parked car. I wonder where the hell are employees park their cars to leave all that space for customers.
That might be the employee’s car. I once worked at Dunkin’ Donuts and I was the only person staffing the place and had to do drive thru when it was like this. Also had to help walk-in customers. It was hell.
The employees might not have money for a car since they get paid a shit wage.. which means having to walk through the car infrastructure.
But… the idea is to avoid human interaction! 🫠
Socializing is for socialists!
