What if all grocery stores were like this?
« on: August 25, 2009, 01:15:25 PM »



Our country is getting lazier, more fat people  :lol:


I'd rather go in and get my own groceries using my two feet and pushing a cart than using four wheels and sitting behind the wheel.

But it's so wonderfully American. It's as American as guns, Christian fundamentalism and apple pie.  :P

LOL, I take it a car is seen as the basic need for people there. Even before food, water, shelter and sleep.

Indeed, so caricatural American.

Waiting for a big Michael Moore footage of this phenomenon.

The people working in this shop are working in the midst of carfumes all the time. Yuk.
But at least they get the chance to walk around.

There's tons of these in California. Of course, here you can get drive-thru anything--beer, cigs, groceries, bullets, pussy, drugs...It's a buyer's market.

There was a store like that in my old town I lived in for eight years. You could drive up and buy beer or cigarettes or cigars, candy, drinks. You could also go inside and look around.

There's a drive through liquor store here and several drive through pharmacies, but no drive through grocery store.

It could be good for people who have trouble walking.  Soon after I sprained my ankle, I would have loved to have been able to buy a few groceries without having to get out of the car.

It gets too cold here for anything like that. Plus everyone would laugh at you.

Well I know what it would be like to have drive thru malls...  :zoinks:

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Cool.  8)

A. Waiting 10 minutes behind someone sniffing exhast fumes.

or

B. Waiting 10 minutes behind someone marinated in some god-awful perfume, freezing my ass off in an over air-conditioned store surrounded by screaming kids and some jackass playing with a floor buffer while they run a price check on a packet of kool-aid. Then finding out some nitwit has rammed a shopping cart into the side of my ride while I was inside.

I'll take A.

Shopping sucks. :zombiefuck:

We can just get hamburgers and pussy drive-thru in Sweden. Well, pussy is illegal, of course, but it's still possible to get in the biggest cities.

I wouldn't be able to stand it. I'd rather pick my own stuff.

With drive through, there is all this pressure to do everything in a timely fashion, like deciding what you want then and there, even if 5 mins ago you knew exactly what you wanted.

The drive through menu and microphone/speaker bitch have this magical power to erase you mind.
