Christian Camp, put them right there on that assembly line,
and they're the best.

will not guess. I'm just gonna say it, brom. But
they're one of the most invasive. But listen, and I
I do like the place. I give them my money.
Dutch Bros. Dutch Bros. I mean I used to do
(01:08):
it more when I was mornings and there's one right
by my house, so I needed to do that. Huh.
So invasive? What are your plans today? What's going on
this weekend? I just get in there and make the
drink a little conversation with you, right. That sounds interesting.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
They're like that old buffet they try to catch game.
Last night they called Country Lions. Something was that old
Cory buffeted the roast beef.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
They watched the same training video and it's not, Oh,
you look like a Cowboys fan. No, I'm actually not.
That's my favorite.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm not wearing any sports attire. Could I hear the
first club again? Because it sounds like it starts with
an anvil?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That little is that a Honda? Just make the drink?
Did you catch your game? Wife's right? Number three on
friendly and he guesses dairy queen. No, I don't think
any of them are friendly. No, the rest of them
are just here's your order. Yeah, they're angry.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh Starbucks because they write your name on the cup.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They're four, they're trying to get a tip, so they're
maybe friendly.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't go to Starbucks much, but when I do,
like I did today, they're always very friendly. Yeah. But
the the third one they do do a little jingle
when you pull up jingle. Yeah, they do a little
they little thing they do, and it's different every time
drive through. I'll give your hand and say, hey, what's kicking?
(02:40):
Want some chicken? Oh it's raising canes, that's correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
number five Taco Bell friendly AI.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Now, I know they'll talk to you, but the very
first thing you hear is AI.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Ignore. That's not friendly, Kevin. Okay. Total weight time, all right,
longest is Broms Broms again, Quan, Yeah not those do
not on there. They didn't qualify.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Pull up in the drive through. They're like, all right,
that'll be forty five minutes. Just stay stay there in
your car.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I can get in and out of a Chili is
in the time it takes me to Okay, So first
on total time, who's the fastest. Oh, it's Taco Bell,
hands down. Correct. Yeah, you are correct, an average of
two hundred and fifty six seconds, and if you do
the math, that's about four minutes and ten seconds. It's
just speed slop. He's right. But it's delicious, so is it.
(03:39):
You had some cheese on it all. That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Everything is pre made and stacked in a corner, so
it's just ready. They just grab it and hand it
to you.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Now, the company that gets criticized for being the longest
wait time outside of the ones you mentioned is Popeyes.
Oh no, dude, it's the worst. They come in faster
than Chick fil A. That's not true. Which, no, it
is true. Report is always accurate. No, when this goes
to something I've been saying, people use their whatever one
or two bad experiences at Popeyes and then they branch
(04:09):
it all out, and I'm like, dude, I go to
a Popeyes that's like near. I've never had a slow experience.
It's always very quick. I've never had This is a case.
This is a case of the narrative. Okay, the minority
of the voices of the minority voice being louder. I'm
really the truth is they're just about like everyone else.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I'm a white male and uh, let me tell you
it is the long I've I've been in line at
Popeyes where there have been two different shift changes.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Where they abandoned the whole thing instead we're closed. So
agree with your report? Well, how come they're faster than
Chick fil A? Yeah, and Chick fil A has two
lines usually right? Yeah? Well yeah, so you guys tell
me COVID's not real. That's fair. I have the data
(05:00):
right here. You guys would tell me it's not. In fact,
they're faster by Chick fil A by sixteen seconds. Doubt it.
I think it's nothing to doubt here. I've got the charts. No,
I think it's what you said.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I think it's one car in line at Popeye's versus
twenty five cars in the line at Chick fil A.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I think that's right. Chick fil A does have the
power to stop down an access road. It drives me insane.
It is everyone go to lunch there. Its been my
thing for like seven years. You don't all have to
go there for lunch at the same time. Man, take
your lunch break off of twelve too. Like it doesn't
have to be at noon when you go to lunch. Dude,
take your lunch break at one shorter afternoon. I'm just
(05:37):
giving people some help. I hate to see what happened
to Wendy's.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They were on such a good run there for a while,
making those craft burgers.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, they're fifth in total time. Okay, And Friendlin that's
Spend down there on ninth.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, there's an old guy here who's real friendly at
the Spring Valley one.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, that's interesting. He is interesting, the Spenders. I'm dying
to learn more about him.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
