Indicative of a problem

I stopped at Dunkin Donuts this morning for a cup of coffee and noticed on my way out that there were five people in the drive-thru line (four of which were SUVs incidentally) yet there was no line inside the store. I guess people would rather let their cars run in idle for 5-7 minutes while they wait for their turn at the window, then get out of their cars and get their order filled in a minute or less.

Now, there could be good excuses - like they had small children in the car and going inside would take more time than sitting outside in a running car - but in all likelihood these people are just creatures of habit who never go inside to fill their order. Unfortunately, this probably happens in drive thrus around the world.

Please, pay attention to your surroundings - save yourself some time and some gas - and spare the already poor air quality in metro Atlanta.
