If you have ANY special requests, you’re not allowed to use the drive-thru. For example, if you don’t want mustard on your sandwich, you need to go inside.
The people working at the fast-food place are typically not the brightest, and you’re bound to be disappointed. Your disappointment will likely turn into dissatisfaction, which will drive you to ask that they correct the mistake. Once you tell them that they messed up, they are going to be irritated as well, and then things just spiral downward from there.
Any ojections?

I’ve been battling this from my very own inception. Hating mayo, mustard, pickles, sour cream, and most any other condiment has been a major stumbling block for me at fast food places. Except In-N-Out. Ah, how I love them. And pizza places generally get it right.

Jeez Adam, you swear by In-N-Out. I wish I had one down here so I could see what all the hooplah is about…

I gotta side with Adman – In-N-Out rocks! And, in the same breath, revoke Adam’s rights to the drive-thru.

As a general rule, I avoid using the drive-thru. I am always worried that the harried employees are going to misunderstand my order and botch it – even when I ask for something simple like a McChicken sandwich and a large Powerade with no ice.
I don’t know – does asking for no ice disqualify me from the drive-thru?
And yes, Andrew, In-N-Out really is the best burger place in the world. Get the double-double, animal-style, and you’ll be in fast food heaven!

I’d say that the “No Ice” request disqualifies you from Drive-Thru usage. Sorry.

Well, at least now I can have a valid reason for avoiding it! The next time someone asks, I’ll respond, “Oh, Jacob said I wasn’t allowed to use drive-thrus.” And if they ask further, I’ll direct them to you.

Deal.
