Rant: Fast Food "Open Late" Places

Post by Cronos »

We're open late! We'll serve you food until 2 or 3 or sometimes even 4 AM!!!!

...if you have a car. If not, sorry! We can't serve you!

We're perfectly willing to serve many drunken students and young adults who are stupid enough to drive drunk to reach our menu kiosks at horrible hours of the morning!!!!

...but for those of you who either don't own a car or who are actually smart enough to not drink and drive, f*** off. We don't want your business.

Freshman year of College we used to walk up to the drive thru window of Del Taco and order. Unfortunately our unconventional ordering scheme was scaring away customers and they closed their window to us.

If you let people walk up to the window you are just asking to get robbed or asking for a customer in their car to get robbed. Sure, it could happen anyway but at least this somewhat discourages it. And that also opens the door for those people you were lamenting in the other thread to walk up and beg for food.

That is lame. In a town like Chicago where you don't need a car, they should have a walk-up option.

What Thrill said. They literally say "Not without a car. Sorry." and this is the second or third place that has happened, so I assume it's SOP.

And also what JC said. In a city like Chicago that definitely doesn't require a car, it's stupid.
