The drive-through is the ultimate luxury experience if you have car-brain.

    Drive thru coffee shops should be illegal.

    I agree with the spirit of what you're saying but when I've got to be on the job for 6am i already want to die don't make me have to get out for my bean juice

    Ideally, we should be pushing for a world without personal cars so you can just grab a coffee on foot after you get off the bus/train but I know the current reality is very far off from that

    There used to be entire cars in the train dedicated to providing you with beverages and food on the train yells-at-cloud

    But I personally remember they used to have drink carts and functioning vending machines

    In the ideal world I might still need to drive my tools around to different sites that aren't connected to transit. I've always wanted to transit to work but not having a consistent destination makes it far more stressful and cumbersome

    Idk how much space and weight your tools take up but those stacked containers that go on a hand cart are pretty nice for transit. That said, vehicles for work wouldn't need to be banned if they're actually functional and necessary for the job. But I want every motherfucker driving a lifted truck with an empty bed to cry as it gets dismantled and scrapped in front of them.

    There's one near me that actually lets you walk up and order. I've found it so much quicker doing it that way than waiting in line. Plus I like to stretch my legs a little. Then again I will also wake up and happily walk a mile.

    When I worked at a Starbucks drive thru, we adamantly wouldn't serve any walk up customers. Saddest one was a big rig trucker trying to get a hot cup of joe at 6am and he couldn't fit the truck in the drive thru and the lobby didn't open until 7. I think I gave him a cup of coffee anyway, but my manager insisted we couldn't help him
