Random behaviour today

Popped into a fastfood outlet with the missus today and as we sat chomping our burgers we saw a car pull up to the drive through window, order, pay and collect their food, park up, get out then walk into the establishment, sit down and start eating.

I understand going through the drive through, then parking up and eating in the car, but to then come into the place to eat? Why not just order your food at the counter? How bizarre.

Maybe I'm missing something :confused:

Was there a bigger queue inside?

No - the place was pretty empty tbh

Maybe they were in a clan

They quickly decided after purchasing it that they wanted to eat inside.

Other than somebody desperately trying to appear to be intellectual, who actually refers to McDonalds like this?

Friend on the window and thus a discount.

Very probable. Or they just changed their mind.

its faster to get food from the drive through than it is to queue inside and wait to be served, duh.

It may have been a Burger King.

I must admit I've done this too at a popular fast food outlet. I decided to use the drive through counter but later decided I'd rather eat inside the establishment.

Isn't drive through cheaper, as you don't get an 'Eat-in" charge?

Oh I just presumed it was as sometimes they ask you if you are eating in.

Trill · 28 May 2011 at 20:34

The rare times i have fast food, i always say Take away, but then sit down anyway. Saves on the Eat-in Tax.

Maybe he had the same idea?

That's to either give you a tray or a take away bag.

I've been living a lie, it all makes sense now! :rolleyes:

Where do people get this eat-in charge rubbish from?

Why are you generalising, it was just me who thought it!

EDIT - oops someone else said it as well!
