yeah I know you did not ask!
Only in America…
I go to the doctor every 6 months to get blood work, mainly because one of the drugs I take (blood pressure med???) can affect the liver. They generally want to check my cholesterol while they are at it, so I go in fasting. A bad habit that I started years ago is getting a Mickey Dee’s breakfast afterwards. Outside of when we travel, it is the only time I eat at this iconic American restaurant.
It was about lunch time when I got out of the doctor’s office. The line at McDonald’s drive-thru was fairly long so I went inside. There was only one man inside eating at a table, and I walked right up to the counter and ordered. When I left the line for the drive-thru had backed up all the way on to Olive Boulevard, which is very a busy street with 4 lanes and a middle turn lane. Admittedly the weather is bad here in St. Louis today, a slushy mess freezing on the road, so that probably affected peoples’ actions. However, I have seen the same behavior on beautiful spring days. It makes me wonder how much gasoline is wasted by folks idling in drive-thrus.
