Because The drive-thru is stingy with the bacon?
Heh.  Sure.  :P 


Actually, I don't like ordering via drive-thru because they do have a tendency to mess up my order -- a fact which (at first) I often didn't discover til I was miles down the road, and it was thus impractical to turn around and get it fixed.  Later on, I wised up and started checking to make sure everything was correct before I exited the drive-thru; however, that of course then held up the line behind me and made me look like a jerk. 

I eventually realized it would ultimately be a lot easier (and better) if I simply parked my car and ordered inside.  For whatever reason, my order gets messed up much less often that way, and in the (happily) rare occasions where it is wrong, I can get it fixed while I'm still right there at the counter and don't hold up customers behind me as much (since there's usually other registers open).  As a bonus, I save a little on gas as well.  :)

Tough luck if the other customers have to wait. You can be pretty sure they'll take all the time they need. Are they paying for your messed up order?

Assuredly not, of course.  But then, I don't want to stoop to their level.  O:-)

You're quite the gentleman, even to the extent of magnanimity to the Great Unwashed. O:-)  ;)

I don't think they'd like me, but I'm past worrying about it... >:D

^  LOL. 

Well I shouldn't want to give the impression of being overly noble, since I'm not.  ::)  There are, however, certain lines I just don't care to cross.

Now that I stop to think about it, I'm almost surprised this wasn't a thing before.  :P

A could be a Monseigneur in that church!  It wouldn't take much to up my game and make Bishop in a couple of months!  And "Cardinal of the Church of Bacon" has a nice ring to it!!

I have a serious issue at home. On the weekends when Kellie cooks breakfast, the pound of bacon she cooks up experiences some sort of mysterious condition and about half just dissapears before it hits the kitchen table. She claims having no knowledge of this metaphysical phenomena. I of course being a rational man of science call bullshit on this.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.
