That actually reminds me of one of my pet peeves. Drive thru windows. Not only are they a major waste of fuel, they promote poor health. Dear God, get out of your car and walk the 10 feet to go buy your Tubs of lard supersized... I wish it was illegal to use a drive thru unless it is for medical reasons or at the drugstore to pick up a prescription. Along those lines, I see cars without handicap tags sitting and idling for 5 minutes waiting for a parking spot close to the front door at wallyworld. Same thing. When they get inside, they jump on the electric cart and the basket is usually full of per-prossessed junk food all guaranteed to keep you obese.
