Unless you have the chance to get one with cane sugar.

Did you know that shaddy drive thru cashiers are purposefully slow to give people their change because people rarely drive back for it even if they remember they are owed $1, 2 or even $10 dollars back. At the end of the night it makes for a nice tip when they balance out their drawer.

I always tell the cashier what bill I am handing them...mostly to remind myself to be cognizant of being due change and ESPECIALLY if it's a $50 because it's so easily mistaken for the more commonly used $20.

What a great thread. Thanks Commie.

That reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me: a few weeks ago, she and her H went to a restaurant that I won't name :::cough Panini's cough::: and had dinner. They paid cash for the meals. When the waiter brought back their change, it was all bills and the coins were missing. My friend asked where her coins were. He said "Oh, we just keep the coins. We figure you would just want to give them to us as part of the tip." So my friend tells the guy Helloooo! she wants ALL of her change back, and she will decide what to do with it, thankyouverymuch.

She complained to the manager, and he said "Oh, yeah, a lot of restaurants do that now."

Moral of the story: Count your change. Or use your credit card and write in the tip.

Of course, that would NEVER happen at Pep's Place. Do you have chili? Can I get extra crackers? grin

Do they put real whipped cream on the shakes? I cannot stand the fake stuff. If it is the real stuff, I am on my way with my trusty oven mitt so my hand does not freeze.

I went to the drive through last Tuesday night. I paid for my measely fish sandwich at Window #1. I tried to drive to Window #2 but there was a mallard duck in the drive thru. Just sitting there. Staring at me with beady eyes.

I was afraid to honk at it because there was a car at Window #2 and I was afraid they'd think I was honking at them...road rage and all.

So I waited for the duck to move. It didn't.

I inched forward. It didn't move.

I tried to open my door, to yell at it or wave my arms or something. But I was too close to the brick wall; my door couldn't open more than 6 inches . Sigh.

It was a complete debacle. When the thing finally waddled off and I pulled up to the window, I said, "Sorry it took me so long. There was a duck in the drive thru."

The cashier looked at me like I was from another planet. I took my fish sandwich and sheepishly drove off, feeling stupid.

Since this is a drive thru thread, I thought I'd share my story with you.
