re: UPDATE:“Do you “please pull forward” at fast food joints or be that guy

I refused to pull forward once, but I was in a real shitty mood already. Otherwise I usually pull up.

I will never forget the look on the girls face, when I said no to her request to pull up. She called the manager over, manager repeated the request as if I didn’t hear it the first time. Then she refunded my purchase amount, but I already had my drink, so I ended up on the better end of the deal. I pulled away to the competition across the street, had my order and was on my way, before the car that was behind me received their food whilst pulled up.

I probably wouldn’t have refused, if I hadn’t already witnessed all the cars that had pulled forward ahead of me receive their orders in the exact order that they pulled forward. Nothing had been gained by the whole pulling forward exercise. It’s not like one of the cars in back got their order and was able to go about their day before one of the cars ahead. I realize that may not be the case every time, but in this particular case it’s how it was.
