He’s also an owner of F45 fitness. I’m a customer. The classes are brutal.

I worked for McDonald's in Hawaii during high school. I remember the managers pushing us to work faster, to serve the customers, and to keep the lines down. They'd tell the grill workers things like "12-24-12" during the lunch rush. I learned that meant a tray of 12 burgers, a tray of 24 burgers, then another tray of 12. (Luckily, I never had to work the grill!) The goal was to keep the food coming as the demand was there, until the rush was over. Luckily, I usually worked the window, but even then, speed was of the essence. They had rules for working the window, how to take the order and so forth, and we were graded on our speed and performance in our duties. If the rules weren't followed, we'd be demoted and put on the fry machine, making milkshakes, or the worst of all - sweeping the parking lot and taking out the trash. (Horrors!!) There was a real effort on giving good customer service, and I took a certain amount of pride in what I did. I was once complimented by Ray Kroc himself during a visit to our location. He was watching how I did my job, and singled me out to the managers as a good example of what they expected.
The same was true at Walmart once. My MIL worked there many years ago and she said it was all about how fast they could scan items. These days it seems to be all about how slow they can do it, or make you do it instead.
I very much prefer using apps these days and just pulling through the drive through or parking for curbside delivery. At least I know they got the order in their system right, but it doesn't negate the need to check it before I leave.
There is probably a good reason they don't let you order a DOUBLE FILET-O-FISH.Try ordering a Double Filet-of-Fish at McDs through the app or the kiosk inside the restaurant. You can't do it. I don't mind ordering at a drive-through, but if I'm going to go to the trouble of going inside, I'd like a human to wait on me.
Same restaurant: The guy at the Pick-Up window handing a bag of food through the car window.
Me: Is the order right? There was a grill request in it. I don't want to get home and find out you guys forgot something.
Guy: I have no idea. They hand me the bag and tell me which car to give it to.

Two years ago, we were on a road trip that took us through Colorado. Looking out our hotel window in Northglenn at 9 pm, we could see a loooong double line of cars snaking around the block to get to the recently opened In-N-Out.
Now you’ve done it! “It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears…” Today’s ear worm!!
This seems to only be an issue with two restaurants that I am aware of and sometimes a third. It seems that only In-N-Out and Chick-fil-a have this problem. Sometimes Starbucks. In Canada it is Tim Hortons. Chick-fil-a has done a good job of designing their drive throughs on new builds in such a way to mitigate the issue.

There is a new Chick Fil A coming to Carlsbad literally next door to an In and Out. They are not allowing the CFA to have a drive through as the area is so impacted already. I do not know where everyone will park. There are a few CFA and IAO co-located in North San Diego, they seem to compliment each other: chicken and beef.
New In-n-Out coming to Longmont near the Costco. There's enough traffic on the 119 already. This will just make it worse.Only a two hour wait Jim? That’s for babies. When In-N-Out came to Colorado the wait was 14 hours! I’d eat at McDonalds before waiting 2 hours let alone 14 hours.
People waited 14 hours in line for the first In-N-Out burgers ever served in Colorado as police tweeted about traffic jams and other local spots to grab food instead
The iconic California fast-food joint opened its first locations in Colorado on Friday, causing a miles-long line and a 14-hour drive-thru wait.
This wasn’t your normal food truck that showed up today. We are talking two full size freight trucks with cabs to pull them. They worked seamlessly and put out an excellent burger/chips/drink lunch for 500 people. We were quite impressed!
That's amazing! I'd love to see it.
