Bizzaro-land

If your windows don't roll down, why would you go through a drive thru?

I'm still trying to figure this one out.

On my way down to Indy last weekend I encountered this strange situation. The woman in the car in front of me had her door open as she was placing her order at the speaker at the drive thru. Then she proceded to pull up about three feet short of the drive up window, get out of her car, walk up to the window and hand the woman her money. While she is waiting for her change, she picks up all the change around the window on the ground and pockets it. After she collects her change she gets back in her car, pulls three feet short of the next window to get her two cups of coffee.

Isn't it called a drive thru for a reason?

This had been bugging me since it happened. It wasn't so much that she violated the laws of the drive thru (well that was part of it--okay alot of it), but also that she pocketed all that loose change that was on the ground. Why didn't she give it to the lady working the register so her drawer balances, like an honest person? This whole scenario is disturbing.

Is this world full of dishonest, stupid people? I like to think not, but I'm beginning to wonder.

Maybe all that changed belonged to peole who had dropped it when the cashier gave the change back to the people. I've had that happen before and you can't pull foward and get out of your car for your dropped change because the person behind you pulls into the spot you were in. Heck, someone probably goes out every night and cleans up the change that is on the ground that people drop and then they go out and have a beer. The restaurants probably offer a course in how to drop change on the ground to the customer gets the short end of the stick.
