Something you can try for extra food at drive-throughs, it has worked for me

I went to Wendy's some time in the last couple weeks. I usually pay for food with cash. That's how I attempt to stay on budget.

Anyway, I noticed Wendy's held their card scanner machine out the window so no one had to handle cash, change or even the credit/debit card besides you. I paid that way and you don't have to enter your pin or anything.

Last Tuesday I went to Taco Bell since they had the free dos Doritos tacos. When I got to the window I asked if their card machine would reach the window. They freaking loaded me up with my requested fire sauce (had to use a separate bag) and gave me an extra Dorito taco and an extra regular taco.

Saturday I went to Popeyes and did the same thing. They loaded me up with honey and hot sauce in addition to an extra wing. I ordered the two piece white with fries.

These people don't want to touch your stuff any more than you want them to touch your stuff. Both the Bell and Popeyes chicks seemed very happy to find out that the machines would hang out the window a couple feet.

The Popeyes chick really lit up. She will probably be a vice president at corporate because of me.
