The other night I was out with a friend and remembered I was low on milk at home. Ughh. Who wants to go to the supermarket just for milk, I thought. (Especially when it strategically placed allllll the way in the back of the store). And then I realized the greatest store invented was just down the block.
Dairy Barn- a drive thru convenience store.
OK, I don't mean literally drive through...Is there any other store that depicts the true American laziness then Dairy Barn? I instantly felt like a bum when I got so excited I didn't even need to leave my car. But wait--I can get my milk AND my change simultaneously too without prolonging my already-convenienced shopping? Jackpot.
But Dairy Barn isn't the only place where we customers revel in the fe
ature of convenience. Who wants to deal with the hassle of getting out of our cars to deposit a check when we can drive right on through and do it with ease. (Ok, maybe not win ease, as depending on the height of our car and length of our arms it might actually be more challenging than you think.) and what about getting our fast food even FASTER through the drive thru before the grease even settles on our fries.What we don't realize is that it might actually be even faster if we get our lazy tooshies out of the car and go inside a bank or fast food restaurant to get what we need done. Heck, we'll wait in a line in our car for hours if it means not having to unnecessarily get out of it. But that's a risk we're willing to take!

The real joy of drive thrus for the very anti-social (such as myself) is you get to have as little contact with actual people as possible. Fast food drive thru? You order through a speaker! Bank drive thru? You put your check in a tube! Minimal person interaction!
Is it possible the inventor of the drive thru had some severe anti social disorder? I hope so...it would make me feel better about myself.
what about the starbucks drive-through? ridiculous!
