There is a new trend for drive-thru restaurants to send vehicles to designated parking spots if the food isn't prepared and ready to serve after paying at the first window. I understand it is to keep the line moving and keep the drive-thru lanes short so people think it will be quick and easy to get food at their establishment.
However, it is really obnoxious when I then get bamboozled into waiting at the parking spot for an extra four minutes because you don't want your line to get long. I already don't like the two lanes that merge into one that restaurants have adopted, and this is the latest annoyance about the fast-food dining experience.
If I didn't like sitting in my car to eat and listening to a podcast I might stop partaking in these types of dining establishments, but unfortunately I'm old and stuck in my ways. So instead I am just going to put up with it and be bothered by the world around me.
