Nostalgic Tweets About Fast Food Restaurants in the 1980s and ’90s

As a child of the late 1980s and early 1990s, I’d be a pretty big liar if I said I didn’t spend my fair share of time in fast food restaurants growing up.

I used to hit all the classics: McDonald’s, Burger King, Long John Silver’s, and my personal favorite, White Castle.

White Castle, oh how I long for thee…oh sorry, I didn’t mean to say that out loud.

But the point is that the 1980s and ’90s were the Golden Age for fast food joints, and people really have a lot of strong memories about them.

Apparently, a lot of these tweets got rolling because folks on Twitter were talking about how Wendy’s used to be yellow and things went from there.

Let’s take a trip back in time with these fast food tweets.

1. I want all of this right now.

Probably not good for the gut, though.

2. I still remember the first Subway I ever went to.

It was a magical journey.

3. The yellow Wendy’s…

Do you remember?

4. The best of the best.

The jukebox was pretty solid, too!

5. Wild ’90s colors all over the place.

Feels like an episode of Saved by the Bell.

6. There are a lot of cool McDonald’s locations out there.

A lot of stuff went down in those Playlands.

7. Styrofoam for days.

They weren’t too concerned about the environment back then…

8. I do not remember the McDLT.

I missed this one somehow.

9. Oh man, this was some good stuff.

It was always nice and greasy!

10. Check out that ashtray!

And those old Taco Bell wrappers!

11. Going wayyyy back with this one.

You never forget your first time.

12. Kind of wild to think about this now.

That was a lot of fun!

Okay, time to spill the beans…

What’s your favorite fast food restaurant?

Talk to us in the comments! Let’s get greasy!

People Share the Meals They Like to Make When They Don’t Feel Like Cooking

When I have some downtime and I’m not trying to rush things, I like to make a leisurely meal. I put on some music, take my time, and then sit down and actually enjoy the food I cooked.

But, as with most folks, life is usually pretty busy and a lot of times I end up making something quick (or getting take-out) so I can be on to the next thing as fast as possible.

So what are some good things to make when you don’t really feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen?

Home cooks of AskReddit shared what meals they make when they really don’t feel like putting in a whole lot of effort.

1. Nice and easy.

“Quesadilla.

And if you want some protein we make it an egg quesadilla. For anyone interested, you take a couple of eggs, scramble them, cook them like an omelet but immediately top with a flour tortilla.

Dab oil on the tortilla for a nice crust. Flip. Spread Monterey jack cheese slices on the hopefully not overcooked eggs. Top with another tortilla. Dab the oil and flip once more.

Perfection! I like to dip my triangle slices in salsa but spaghetti sauce works well too.”

2. An old classic.

“Grilled cheese and tomato soup.

I keep the Pacific brand soup on hand and pretty much always have cheese and a loaf of bread.

Panera charges $15 for what costs me $3 and ten minutes to make at home!”

3. I’m getting hungry…

“Fried rice.

Rice in the rice cooker, a scrambled egg, maybe some vegetables or leftover meat.”

4. Good point.

“Sliced deli meat straight from the bag.

Who am I trying to impress?

My demons?”

5. Sounds good!

“Toast is entirely underrated.

Whether you just put a little butter on it or fresh mozzarella with garden tomatoes, oil and vinegar; it’s good.”

6. It’s quick!

“Naan bread pizza.

One naan round with a spoon of sauce and a small handful of cheese.

Chuck in the toaster oven for 5 minutes!

So yummy and fast!”

7. Potatoes!

“Loaded potatoes.

Just grab a big potato, bake it (or nuke it for 10 minutes ), cut it open, butter it.

THEN… stuff it full of cheese, diced onions, shredded sandwich meat, whatever other goodies you have on hand, sprinkle some herbs on it, nuke a little more to get it all melty, top with sour cream, and enjoy.”

8. Perfection.

“Pressure cooker + box of yellow rice + cup of water + can of black beans + 3 minutes + natural release = perfection.”

9. Oh yeah!

“Nachos.

I always have tortilla chips in the pantry.

Brown meat with seasoning and throw random things at it.

Avocado, sour cream, cheeses, tomato or lettuce if any.”

10. As simple as that.

“Meatballs and Gravy.

Get some frozen meatballs, some pre-made gravy, cook it in the gravy for about 25 minutes, get some instant mash or rice (cook rice with chicken bullion because its super easy and tastes way better.) combine and boom.

It tastes like basic salisbury steak.”

11. Just like in college.

“Tuna melt.

This was my go to college meal besides spaghetti.

We’d do tuna straight out of the can, lemon pepper, and whatever cheese we had handy.

Grill it up and you had a cheap quick dinner!”

12. A quick omelet.

“I have a Spanish omelette variation that is a total cheat; I use bought salsa instead of making my own.

Always keep it on hand. Eggs, spinach, salsa, toast. May add cheese if I have it. Done in about 5 minutes.

My absolute laziest meal is a protein bar and a beer.”

13. Sounds like a good time.

“”Bangers and mash”.

Sausages with mash potatoes with onion and gravy.

Combine garlic, oregano and butter to your mashed potatoes for a good time.”

14. Yummy!

“I find myself reaching all the time for two things: eggs and dumplings.

The eggs I cook in butter and eat plain cause I’m an animal and I just love eggs and think they’re perfect on their own.

Dumplings, I just buy frozen ones and sometimes I boil them with veggies into a soup, sometimes I pan fry them.”

How about you?

What meals do you make when you don’t feel like cooking at home?

What Food Should People Try if They Visit Your Country? Check Out These Answers.

When I travel I get excited about two things: drinking and eating.

Sure, I’ll check out some museums. Yes, I’ll walk the streets for hours on end.

But the highlight is always the food and the drinks, baby!

And these responses gave me some ideas about some future trips.

AskReddit users talked about the food everyone should try from their respective countries.

1. Yum!

“East Africa.

An omelette made of fries, eggs and spices (chips mayai).

Spicy sugarcane juice.”

2. I’ll take all of that.

“Belgium.

Fries, belgian waffles, pralines, beer…”

3. Viva Mexico!

“If you visit Mexico I always recommend mole, chilaquiles, and horchata water to drink.”

4. My mouth is watering.

“Vietnam.

Pho, banh mi (of course).

But also try bun cha if you are in Hanoi.

It is a MUST.”

5. Interesting.

“In Finland we have a breakfast thing called “Plörö”.

You put a coin on the bottom of a coffee mug and pour coffee until the coin is not visible anymore. Then you pour vodka until the coin is visible again.

Best enjoyed with a cigarette.”

6. Germany.

“I love Käsespätzle with Speck and Röstzwiebeln — egg noodles with cheese, bacon and crispy fried onions.”

7. France.

“Tarte flambée, Paris Brest, kouign amann

And of course a proper croissant.”

8. Denmark.

“Flæskesteg sandwich. Just go for it.

These are what I miss most about living in Denmark.

And kanelsnegls.”

9. Poland.

“Honestly the best thing is to stop in a Bar Mleczny (Milk Bar).

Every single one is run by weird clones of 2 old angry ladies, one is short and one is tall. One is fat and one is skinny.

You will pay next to nothing for an enormous plate of food and you’re pretty much guaranteed to love it.”

10. Delicious.

“Shwarma if you go to Syria.

I’ve had Shawarma in many places. Including a couple countries in the Middle East and USA.

Syria’s Shawarma is the absolute best. Too bad most people will probably never get to taste it.”

11. Iceland.

“Try skyr.

It’s like cottage cheese/yogurt.”

12. Holland.

“Two things really, one that probably a lot of people will hate but it’s Soo good.

Raw Atlantic herring with white onion and pickles.

And the other one which everyone will love, stroopwafels!”

13. When in Colombia…

“Colombia: chocolate santafereño, or hot chocolate.

I know what you’re thinking. “What’s so distinctive about plain ol’ hot chocolate?” Or maybe, “[insert dumb Colombia drug joke here],” but let me tell you right now, there is nothing better on a chilly morning in the altiplano than a mug of hot chocolate to fill you with vim and vigor.

What makes our take on hot chocolate so different? Three things:

First, ours has a richer concentration of cacao. The rest of the world takes what is essentially sugar with powdered cocoa and mixes it with milk. Not so in Colombia. Our chocolate actually comes in bricks of pure cacao paste with a tiny bit of panela (unrefined cane sugar) and cinnamon. The result is a beverage that is less cloyingly sweet and more rich and flavorful, with a deep aroma that is at once sweet and nutty.

Second, preparation. This, too, is different in Colombia. Rather than grind our wonderful chocolate into dust, we make it by heating our delicious ingots of dark gold in an olleta, a tall pot that resembles a metallic pitcher, along with milk, cloves and a couple of sticks of cinnamon.

Once the chocolate softens, we take a molinillo, a type of grooved, wooden, mace-like whisk, and beat the mixture with a motion akin to that of prehistoric man making fire. The result is a light, foamy beverage that goes down smooth.

Finally, there’s the cheese. Yes, you read that right, we put cheese in our chocolate! I can see your brow furrowing even now, but rest assured, this is a soft, fresh, unsalted cheese (also known as farmer’s cheese or white cheese) that has a chewy texture, like unsalted mozzarella.

Drop a few pieces in your chocolate while you snack on a pandebono (cornflour sourdough bread) or a pandeyuca (pillowy, savoury manioc bread) and fish then out once they’re soft.

There are many wonderful dishes that make up Colombia’s cuisine. But as someone who doesn’t live there anymore, there’s only one dish I really truly miss, and that’s chocolate santafereño.”

Okay, now it’s your turn!

In the comments, tell us what foods you’d recommend from your country.

Please and thank you!

People Discuss What Food Folks Should Try if They Visit Their Home Countries

One of the great joys of traveling is trying different cuisines from all kinds of regions.

It just never gets old, ya know?!?!

And I’m the kind of person who could spend a lifetime traveling and eating and I’d still never be satisfied…are you like that, too?

What food should people try in your country?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Polish food is great.

“Poland:

Pierogi (Slavic dumplings). Try cheese and potato pierogi, fried and topped with sour cream/bacon/fried onion. Also try sweet pierogi’s- with blueberries, strawberries etc. You can also eat them as is or top them with sour cream and sugar or a little bit of whipped cream.

Bigos (Hunter’s stew with cabbage, sausage, mushrooms)

Placki po zbojnicku/wegiersku (potato pancakes with goulash- meat stew). They are often topped with sour cream

Golabki: stuffed cabbage with rice and ground beef. It’s served mostly with tomato sauce or mushroom sauce

Barszcz czerwony: beet soup. It is freaking delish.

Zapiekanka: toasted open faced sandwich that’s made on baguette bread. It’s usually made with mushrooms, cheese and topped with ketchup and green onions but there are MANY different varieties. It’s a very popular street food

Cwikla/Buraki – grated beet salad, often with horseradish. It’s a very popular side dish

Mizeria- made with either tomatoes or cucumbers. It’s a salad with vegetables and sour cream.”

2. Holland.

“I used to live in The Netherlands and I love the country, but the food I was enjoying a lot was Kibbeling!

I can really just recommend it to anyone.

Eat it when you are in Rotterdam at the Maarkthall.”

3. Yummy.

“For Austria I would say Kaiserschmarren (sweet, a little bit like pancakes) and Gulaschsuppe (soup with vegetables and sausage).”

4. Germany.

“Käsespätzle.

Imagine Mac’n’cheese, but instead of noodles it’s with some dough stuff. And with onions.

I would kill for this dish.”

5. Down Under.

“If you want to try Vegemite DO NOT eat a spoonful of it or spread it thickly on toast.

You butter the toast then put a thin spread on.

I always cringe when I watch people trying Vegemite and eating a ton of it not even most Australians who have grown up on the stuff would like it like that.”

6. Sounds good.

“Scottish Indian Food

It’s a distinct thing, different even from British Indian. Lots of onion based gravy blended down to hide the vegetables, crisp fried pakoras, huge pillowy naan.

It wouldn’t be recognizable by an Indian person but it follows its own conventions – every Scottish Indian Restaurant will have largely the same dishes on the menu with some house specialities.

It’s the most comforting thing to me, and there’s probably an argument for it being the most authentic Scottish food – the vast majority of people here will have eaten a tikka masala way more often than venison or salmon.

And we love to argue about which place does it best.”

7. USA!

“A crab/seafood boil (if you’re up in Maine, USA).

It’s a delicious mess of crab, red potatoes, ears of corn, sausage, and whatever seafood you want to add like shrimp, mussels, lobster, etc.

You boil it all together in a big pot with old bay, white wine, and a bunch of other seasonings and then you dump it out onto a picnic table and everyone goes to town on it.

It’s a glorious mess!”

8. Viva Mexico!

“Tacos.

Taco Bell ain’t nothing compared to the original here in Mexico.

Also this plate called birria which is kinda like beef stew but with a little twist.”

9. England.

“Fish and chips, out of the paper. Preferably eaten on the sea front, on a cool day. Mushy peas or curry sauce optional but delicious.

Alternatively, go to the black country and get the battered chips because for some reason it’s not enough that the fish is covered in batter, we must have the chips battered too.

And it is glorious.

While you’re at it, get some bread and butter and make a chip butty because that is comfort food. You want the chips hot enough to melt the butter a little bit.

A full English breakfast. And then you must also try a Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and Irish version at some point too.

And find a pub with a nice fire on a cold night and drink a pint of something local. We have so many breweries in the UK, so look for guest ales or ciders and try one. Most good pubs will recommend something.”

10. I’m getting hungry…

“Argentina.

Milanesas, asado (for meat lovers), dulce de leche, mate, chocotorta, empanadas, choripan (we eat them usually with asado.

We also have morcipan but the most popular one is choripan hahah) and alfajores.”

11. Different regions.

“If you’re traveling to India, each frekkin region will have excellent and distinct cuisine.

Pork Vindaloo, Chettinad Chicken and appam, Bhapa Ilish (Hilsa fish coated with spices, wrapped in banana leaves, steamed), Makkai roti with sarson saag, vada pao, aloo tikki and other chaat, some mutton gosht and naan (I forget the name of the area now where this is found, in Mumbai).. these are just a few that come to mind.

Indian cuisine is so diverse and brilliant.”

12. When in Spain.

“If you go to Spain, maybe try Tumbet. It’s a Majorcan dish consisting of stacked layers of fried eggplant, zucchini and potato, with some bayleaf dressed tomato sauce on top.

Yep, it’s absolutely amazing, and sadly, I think people don’t really know any Spanish dish other than tortilla, jamon and paella.”

13. Okay, now my mouth is watering.

“Chicken Rice in Singapore.

It is a staple everywhere and you can select either steamed or roasted chicken. Rice is fragrant and cooked in chicken broth.

The accompanying sweet soy sauce and chili-garlic-lime make the whole dish.”

What do you think?

What foods should people definitely try in your country?

Drive-Thru Workers Share the Craziest Things They’ve Seen on the Job

I’ve worked in fast food places in the past, but I can’t say I was ever lucky enough to work in the drive-thru…and I still kind of regret it.

Because, based on these stories, it looks like every day is a wacky adventure!

AskReddit users talked about the craziest things they’ve seen in the drive-thru.

Let’s check it out!

1. That’s smart.

“I used to see someone come through with a lifelike mannequin in their passenger seat.

I asked about it and turns out they did it to use the commuter lanes on the highway.

You must have more than 1 person in the car or cop a fine.”

2. Weird…

“Either the guy sitting with a dog in his passenger seat and a coyote and a deer chilling in the back, or the woman wearing just a bra…but that one is more traumatizing.”

3. Mary.

“There was this woman that would come through and get a hot chocolate every day. Her name was Mary.

Mary was an older gal in her 70’s, drove an early 90’s Lincoln, usually had some old tunes playing, and weighed 60lbs, if that.

She was always so happy and so nice. I always gave her drinks for free because it was always such a treat to see her and she was just so nice.

One other feature I remember is she always rocked suspenders and a random colored fedora every day. I think she reminded me of Ms. Frizzle after she retires.

One day, she comes through and orders her usual. I said, “Mary, why are you always in such a good mood? What’s your secret?”

She smiles and waves me closer. I lean out of the drive thru window and she says, “Really, really good drugs.” She winks at me, turns her radio up, and cruises out of the parking lot. Mary is my hero.”

4. Meet my friend.

“The driver had a comically large d*ldo in the passenger seat.

He’d buckled it in and put a hat on it.”

5. Drunk driving.

“Had a drunk guy come through drive thru. A cop car was in line right behind him.

Told the cops about the drunk guy (he was blitzed and was going to kill someone). Cops said they knew as they were planning on pulling him over before he turned in and went to the drive thru. They decided they were hungry and decided to get food too before pulling him over.

They stayed at the back window and had us give them their food first so they could follow him out. Pulled him over in the parking lot. Was kind of entertaining.”

6. That’s a YES.

“Does a naked man with bags from Burger King and Taco Bell already count as a “thing”?”

7. You again!

“There was this really cute blonde girl that would always come through the drive thru naked on Saturday nights. Every now and then she would have another friend with her.

We always knew when it was her by the constant giggles coming from her car as she ordered. We always had weird customers, being it was the worlds largest Mcdonalds located in Orlando Florida.

An order for 88 big macs or 120 cheeseburgers was not out of the ordinary though.”

8. Don’t mind her.

“This dude pulled up and his girlfriend or whatever was almost entirely naked on the seat next to him, sleeping.

When he pulled up, he saw my shocked expression, pulled her thin jacket (the only thing on her body besides the seatbelt) to cover her n*pple and asked for some ketchup.

He was shockingly casual.”

9. Let’s eat!

“This girl used to come through with like 3 dogs. I finally asked her, “do you have to feed these beasts?”

And she explained that she just walks and grooms them. Well, one day she came through the drive through with like 15 dogs and she screams through the intercom “MY BUSINESS FINALLY TOOK OFF” and got a bunch of chicken tacos for them.

Come to think of it…I think she may have been trying to flirt with me. “

10. G’day.

“I worked at a McDonald’s in a small town in Michigan (think 2 stop lights)

When the car pulled up to the front window, they had a whole baby kangaroo in their lap.

I don’t know where they got that from or why, but the closest zoo was 2 hours away.”

11. Good thinking.

“I worked at Domino’s and one lady used a hand crocheted blanket to keep her pizzas warm.

Kept the blanket in the front seat and draped it over the boxes. I crochet, so I know how much work went into that blanket…”

12. People are strange.

“It was either the 12 year old driving or the lady in a right hand drive car.

The fact she had the audacity to get mad at me because I couldn’t reach her money…”

13. Gotcha!

“I worked a drive through at Arby’s and a DEA agent came through in his squad car.

When he pulled up to the window and I handed him his food and he thanked me, turned around into the criminal holding area and screamed “SHUT UP BEFORE I BREAK YOUR NOSE!”

I was clearly mortified. Then he turned back to me and said “just kidding there’s nobody back there”, laughed, and drove off.”

Hey, those were wild!

And now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, tell us your crazy tales from the drive-thru. Please and thank you!

People Who Work In the Drive-Thru Discuss the Weirdest Things They’ve Seen

The closest I’ve ever come to working in a drive-thru was when I worked the window of a food truck in New Orleans.

And let me tell you, that was A BLAST.

So I can only imagine what it’s like to work the drive-thru at a fast food place…it sounds like a non-stop adventure!

Let’s get crazy with drive-thru workers who shared their stories on AskReddit.

1. Nice to meet you.

“Dude had a full on s*x doll dressed up in his passenger seat.

Sunglasses, dress and even a hat. I couldn’t even tell it was fake until I asked for their order.

Coworker and I looked at each other simultaneously and we both said “was that a s*x doll?”

This is in a “wealthy” area of my city as well so it was definitely a first.”

2. Did you pet it?

“Only worked drive-through for a year but the weirdest thing I saw was an alpaca in a minivan.

They asked at the window if they could order some apple slices for the alpaca. I just gave them two packs on the house.”

3. Creep.

“Had a guy consistently come through the drive thru with his p*nis out and showing the young girls running the windows.

He would always order the same thing, large Mellow Yellow no ice, always on a Sunday, and always wearing military fatigues. Then he stopped showing up for a bit, we called him Private Peters, as our little sign to call the cops if he showed up again.

A month later we get an order for a large mellow yellow no ice, so I decide to take over the window because had a 16 year old running cash and sure enough he hands me his money with his d*ck in his other hand.

We convinced the car in front of him to stay in the lane and we called the cops, he got suspicious and left but they caught him and was charged.”

4. Free spirits.

“A car pulls up, and all 4 people are just completely naked, just casually chilling.”

5. Oh, boy.

“I heard a blowj*b taking place over the headset.

It was a location open 24/7 so we had to reset the tills for 10 mins every evening at 11pm so people would just sit in their car & wait.

Most people don’t realize that we could hear everything, the speakers don’t turn off while the vehicle is there.”

6. Look out!

“Someone threw a fish at me once.

Didn’t order anything, just a drive by fish attack.”

7. A little extreme.

“Someone pulled a gun on my brother because the salsa containers weren’t completely full.

You can get as many as you want for no extra charge.”

8. Oh…hello.

“My gym teacher, drunk.

He started eating the tacos at the drive-thru window.

He was there for over 5 minutes, just eating. I saw him the next day in school, we both acted like nothing happened.”

9. Oversized load.

“Had a customer come through with a giant grandfather clock in the back seat. The thing was so huge it was sticking out the side window, which just so happened to be on the left side of the car.

Which meant dude couldn’t get close enough to the window to reach his food and had to step out, cursing the whole time.”

10. What could they be?

“I worked at a Tim Horton’s and once saw an old lady with like 50 cartons of eggs in her car.

I made a joke saying “looks like you could make your own breakfast” and she got real straight faced and said “oh honey those aren’t eggs”.

Still have zero clue what else you would store in egg cartons…”

11. No thanks…

“Two guys were hotboxing and decided to come to the drive thru.

They did not stop smoking even when they pulled up to the window. I swear a cloud of smoke rolled out the window when they lowered it to pay.

They offered me a hit and I politely declined.”

12. Gross.

“I was working the drive-thru at Burger King in a snowstorm. Driver orders a coke with no ice.

When I hand them the coke, they empty it a bit, break off a couple icicles hanging from the car, put in the coke, and drive off without saying a word.”

13. Might want to clean that out.

“The entire car was filled with trash.

Like legitimately up to ceiling in the back seat and up to shoulder height in the passenger seat.

I was so stunned I nearly forgot to give them their food.”

14. Some people…

“A woman drinking a tall boy of Budweiser. It was 530 in the morning at a Starbucks.

There’s also a guy that takes his 3 dogs for rides. They ride in buckled seats and wear goggles so the wind doesn’t hurt their eyes.”

People Who Work In the Drive-Thru Discuss the Weirdest Things They’ve Seen

The closest I’ve ever come to working in a drive-thru was when I worked the window of a food truck in New Orleans.

And let me tell you, that was A BLAST.

So I can only imagine what it’s like to work the drive-thru at a fast food place…it sounds like a non-stop adventure!

Let’s get crazy with drive-thru workers who shared their stories on AskReddit.

1. Nice to meet you.

“Dude had a full on s*x doll dressed up in his passenger seat.

Sunglasses, dress and even a hat. I couldn’t even tell it was fake until I asked for their order.

Coworker and I looked at each other simultaneously and we both said “was that a s*x doll?”

This is in a “wealthy” area of my city as well so it was definitely a first.”

2. Did you pet it?

“Only worked drive-through for a year but the weirdest thing I saw was an alpaca in a minivan.

They asked at the window if they could order some apple slices for the alpaca. I just gave them two packs on the house.”

3. Creep.

“Had a guy consistently come through the drive thru with his p*nis out and showing the young girls running the windows.

He would always order the same thing, large Mellow Yellow no ice, always on a Sunday, and always wearing military fatigues. Then he stopped showing up for a bit, we called him Private Peters, as our little sign to call the cops if he showed up again.

A month later we get an order for a large mellow yellow no ice, so I decide to take over the window because had a 16 year old running cash and sure enough he hands me his money with his d*ck in his other hand.

We convinced the car in front of him to stay in the lane and we called the cops, he got suspicious and left but they caught him and was charged.”

4. Free spirits.

“A car pulls up, and all 4 people are just completely naked, just casually chilling.”

5. Oh, boy.

“I heard a blowj*b taking place over the headset.

It was a location open 24/7 so we had to reset the tills for 10 mins every evening at 11pm so people would just sit in their car & wait.

Most people don’t realize that we could hear everything, the speakers don’t turn off while the vehicle is there.”

6. Look out!

“Someone threw a fish at me once.

Didn’t order anything, just a drive by fish attack.”

7. A little extreme.

“Someone pulled a gun on my brother because the salsa containers weren’t completely full.

You can get as many as you want for no extra charge.”

8. Oh…hello.

“My gym teacher, drunk.

He started eating the tacos at the drive-thru window.

He was there for over 5 minutes, just eating. I saw him the next day in school, we both acted like nothing happened.”

9. Oversized load.

“Had a customer come through with a giant grandfather clock in the back seat. The thing was so huge it was sticking out the side window, which just so happened to be on the left side of the car.

Which meant dude couldn’t get close enough to the window to reach his food and had to step out, cursing the whole time.”

10. What could they be?

“I worked at a Tim Horton’s and once saw an old lady with like 50 cartons of eggs in her car.

I made a joke saying “looks like you could make your own breakfast” and she got real straight faced and said “oh honey those aren’t eggs”.

Still have zero clue what else you would store in egg cartons…”

11. No thanks…

“Two guys were hotboxing and decided to come to the drive thru.

They did not stop smoking even when they pulled up to the window. I swear a cloud of smoke rolled out the window when they lowered it to pay.

They offered me a hit and I politely declined.”

12. Gross.

“I was working the drive-thru at Burger King in a snowstorm. Driver orders a coke with no ice.

When I hand them the coke, they empty it a bit, break off a couple icicles hanging from the car, put in the coke, and drive off without saying a word.”

13. Might want to clean that out.
