Do you think that Starbucks planted all of their nice shrubs along the sidewalk line to intentionally block a driver's view of the line of cars at the drive-thru window? As you drive up to the Starbucks closest to my office, the shrubs line the whole exterior of the parking lot, obscuring the view. Had I been able to see as I was pulling up, I probably wouldn't have gotten into a line with 17 cars that wrapped around the building. I love some caramel macchiato, but I'm just saying.
Yes! And I hate a drive thru with no escape...aka Chik-fil-A, Taco Bell!
ReplyDeleteExcellent observation.
ReplyDeleteBut, what's 20 minutes when a tall, skinny vanilla latte is waiting for at the window? Minor sacrifice.
