    For a $4.79 sub? I'm pretty sure I'd walk.

    As someone who worked the drive-thru mic a fair bit in my younger years:

    It's a fudging cheap microphone. The person on the driver side needs to lean in a little bit and speak clearly.

    When your driving sucks so bad that your car is six feet from the speaker, and you want your girlfriend to order for you from the passenger side in her cute little squeaky voice, of course we can't here you.

    As long as the outsourced drive-box person doesn't call me ma'am at the end of the order, as 1 out of 4 do now, I'm OK with it. Seriously, I'm like 6-5 and well north of 300 pounds and I have a low voice. Next time it happens, I'm taking off my pants before I reach the window.

    Fast-food workers are minimum-wage minions anyway. What kind of savings could it possibly mean???

    I could see where one guy could cover 5 or 6 stores at slow times. Other times, I don't see the savings.

    If you've got a few minutes, this is long but quite funny:

    It's easier, and often faster, to just walk 10 feet and go inside instead.
