Drive-Thru

There's too much going on and it's too late to write much. I'll have to add it to the list of things I want to write about...

Thought I'd tell you something funny, though (for a change of pace, here).

I was working at the drive-thru window for the very first time. I had no idea what I was doing and everyone was too busy to teach me anything, so I just smiled a lot and hoped for the best.

There's a motion sensor at the window so the window opens when you stand against the sensor. It stays open until you move away. Well, I thought that all you had to do was stand in front of it, not right against the thing.

A car pulled up...

I had the order ready.

I stood against the sensor.

The window opened.

It's all good. I start to hand the order to the customer in the car, but as I leaned over, my hip was no longer against the sensor.

The window closed...

... with me still hanging outside.

Should have seen the looks on the faces of the customers!

I bet the look on my face was pretty funny, too.

Then... it happened again. (...images of Homer Simpson touching the stove five times... doh! doh! doh! ...)

I was afraid of that darned window until someone could explain to me that you always have to be right up on that sensor.

Would have made an embarrassing You-Tube.

Security expert attacked by Drive-Thru window. Oh, yeah. Real smart.
