You must enjoy torture.

It was exquisite for her because drive-thru guy had us on hold for about 30 seconds. That gave her even more time to reconsider options. And right on time, at the instant the voice in the speaker sparked to life, she started talking in my other ear with her new choices and questions. I finally did what I should have been doing all along, I leaned back and let her talk to the speaker.

Help is on the way.  Some fast-food franchises are designing new buildouts with two drive-thru lanes, one for interactive ordering and one exclusively for online.  


Of course, finding yourself pulled over to the side of the road 100 yards away for 20 minutes while ordering may prove equally frustrating.

We've done this and I prefer it. The order has been sent, the die is cast and she can't reconsider.
