Aren't there drive-thru liquor stores in Texas?

you've never seen a liquor store drive-thru?
That's true. I stand corrected.

Last time I was in Ohio, there were drive-thru liquor stores everywhere. And I remember a Hit-N-Run in Wood River where I'm pretty sure you could drive-thru and get booze.

For obvious reasons, never ask for a number two from a restaurant.

Being exceptionally polite also helps you get free stuff. When I got my lunch today, the cashier/manager apparently felt bad because he thought he was taking an inordinate amount of time (not really the case though--the group in front of him had a big order and paid with cash that took some time to sort).

Basically, just by saying "Take your time, it's no rush," I got a free iced tea. I know that's not a lot, but I felt appreciated and will give them repeat business.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Maddash went through a drive-thru.


And this is a lame rant. I say "that's it" all the time at the drive thru. It signifies that the order is finished and I'd like to not be asked if I'd like new product X to go with it. Emphasizing NO is totally cool. What good does it do to have them mess it up and waste everyone's time? And getting worked up over "i need?" Come on. You do need food. Maybe not in that form, but since you're hungry and in a drive thru, I'll allow it.

I try my best to be nice and not antagonize anyone because I don't like saliva in my burger.
