Do you use drive-throughs at banks and fast food joints? I never do. They should only be for the handicapped.

My wife uses them and wonders why they get the order wrong sometimes. The last time I used a bank one was 1976. My deposit got stuck in the tube and wouldn't go in my account until Moonday. We lived paycheck to paycheck and couldn't go grocery shopping.

  • I don't like to use a drive thru at a fast food restaurant because I'd rather eat it there than take it home. Now that I'm retired, I walk into a bank to transact business. As police officers, we were told to never walk into a bank in uniform carrying a weapon. If something goes down, you're the first thing that's taken out.

    Do you remember the incident where a guy tried to rob a bank that was filled with FBI agents? Hilarious.

    I know a few cops...they are all good guys. Although back in the 1960's, my wife's father was a cop and was murdered by others as he was a snitch. Her brother was also a cop. And her nephew is. They are straight up.

    May be. Those are the only ones we see on the news here. Our school copp rescued an elderly couple from a burning house across the street. A passing local news story.

    On the rare occasions when I eat fast food AND if the place has a drive-thru, I will use it.  The only other establishment in this area that even has a drive-thru is the pharmacy at the drugstore.  However, it only takes 2 hours for them to tell you that your prescription won't be ready until a week from next september, while in the drive-thru it takes them 5 hours.

    I rarely even go to the bank.  If I need cash I go through the drive-through ATM.  Deposits I either mail or put in the night deposit .   I don't eat fast food but every now and then I go through one to get a cup of coffee.  Actually, that is what I did before I moved to Florida.  Here I live in a smallish town so if I want coffee or need to pee I just run by my house.  I did go through a drive through for my sister because I was instructed to bring Taco Bell stuff to my nephew when I went over not long ago.  Man, it smelled good too. :)

    No.
    I seldom bank other than online, and (to paraphrase Joe Pesci) fast food joints “f—- you at the drive-thru”.

    I get a check from a part time job and visit the bank regularly...inside. The tellers all know me and we all flirt. Much more fun than drive thru.

    A petite blonde with other special attributes? No...but I will let you use my mirror handicapped tag if you want. I won't be able to walk if I am with you.

    We don't have drive through banks in Australia. If I'm hungry and no time or inclination to cook, I use the drive through for covenience's sake at KFC or Hungry Jack's. The restaurant part closes early, so I often have no choice.
