I wasn't phoning it in. I was telecommuting.
Abstract:
I'm not a morning person. I'm not an early
afternoon person either.
Body:
I don't usually wake up until a few minutes
before I'm supposed to be in the car to be somewhere, so I count on eating in
the car for many of my meals. Unfortunately, I often don't even allow extra time
for the preparation of my order. Many times I will past multiple franchises of
the same company on my route. Chain businesses could take advantage of their
multiple locations to offer a more convenient way of ordering and delivering
food.
For example, if I need to order a
burger at a McDonald's or Wendy's, I can place my order, and pull up to the
first window to pay. Then, instead of waiting at the next window for my food, I
would drive to the next location on my route and trade my receipt or ticket for
my order. They would have plenty of time to prepare it, so there would be no
waiting.
Wawa could work the same way.
Along with choosing what you want on your hoagie, you also use the computer to
choose where you want to pick it up. Simply get your order marked with the
"PAID" stamp and proceed to the next location, where it will be waiting for
you.
Just a thought. And here's another
thought: Drive-throughs were designed for people
on the
move, who want to get out
quickly.
Therefore, I don't think it is appropriate to use it for buying dinner for the
entire soccer team, especially when everyone has a special order, and you insist
on inspecting every sandwich and requesting extra napkins before pulling your
minivan out of the way.
Also, why did
both a McDonald's and a Wendy's give me free fries, and in the same
week?
