It will happen, you know. Do you have any idea How much fuel you use while waiting for that Big Mac or wait for that convenient bank transaction. Not only that, it does produce a lot of CO2, not to mention CO, which is far worse. The planet’s plants can use the carbon dioxide for food. Carbon monoxide is not good for plant or animal.

So, maybe I can challenge a few folks to write a post on what happens when those ultra green folks take away the drive through.

Normally, when I post something, I will suggest a plan, a solution, maybe a probable outcome. This time I simply have no idea. It will be the meeting of the lazy with those who don’t like CO2 belching machines, of any kind.

As near as I can see it, your post needs to address three aspects. What it will mean for those who will actually have to leave their luxury vehicles and traipse off into the cold of winter or the heat of summer to get that wonderful whopper, which they will be able to have their way.

The other thing to consider, is how will the restaurant deal with it. Many of them rely heavily on the drive through. Having to permanently close the window will not go well for them. It might actually eat into their profits unless they come up with something.

Finally, some places keep their drive throughs open all night. Take away the drive through and that will have to change. Just how, I’ll let you decide.

The fact is, I know only one thing about it all. One day it will happen. We really ought to start thinking about it. I’m open to your thoughts and considerations. Maybe a few of you like drive throughs and will have to face withdrawal pains; as well as trudging through the snow. Some of you run restaurants and banks. I’d really like to hear your ideas. I have none. Some of you might be brilliant and you just might come up with something to resolve the inevitable problem.

On the other hand, maybe some of you just have some comments on it all. Just, let’s try to keep them clean and reasonable. I mean, I have some things I’d like to say too, but I try very hard to avoid that kind of language.

Incidentally, have any of you been stuck in line behind someone at one in the morning insisting on ordering for 6 or 7 people, all paying separately?
