Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talk about Yeah, they talk better than they say tell
me about it.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm the running in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
We call them blogs.
Speaker 3 (00:10):

Deer blog.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Yesterday I came to the realization that I do not
trust double drive throughs. Okay, And I don't know what
where this started or why, but you know how all
of the fast food restaurants now they have rebuilt their
little space and they got two drive throughs where you
can pull up on either side, and they make you
think that it's moving faster, but it's really not because it's.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Number of people actually like and usually the same person
working them both.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah, And then once I get to the one do
I got to re order my order because I gotta
verify that I was I was the car that you
were talking to, but you try to make me think
that I it was too a y'all, but it was
really one of y'all taking my order. And then I
only trust the original through side. So like if my
McDonald's now has two, I only go to that one
(01:05):
that was there when it first.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Got one was closest to the establishment exactly, the one
that's a little further out.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I don't trust it.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
And sometimes there's a column there and then it's open,
and you just don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
What to do.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Like I just feel like, if I go over there,
that's the bootleg side. I need to stay with the
original lane because I don't trust the other side.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Let me ask you this, yes, if you The other day,
I was going through one and I realized that everybody
was only lining up for the internal side, the one
closest to the establishment, that's me. The outside one was
wide open and nobody was going to it. So I
drove out around four cars and I just went right
to the open one because it was like, look, I sat,
I waited, it didn't appear that anybody was going to
(01:47):
go over to the other side. I took the risk
because it's possible that if I had gone over there,
then it was not it was closed or broken, and
I had missed it, and then we had to go
all the way back around and get in the back
of the line. Turned out that just that nobody's paying attention.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Really, and they let you merge, because that's another thing.
Once you go through that. Now we gotta murger.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Now I gotta look at you an eye, you gotta
let me and eye I gotta nod.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Can I merge done?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
It should be every other if we're both done. But
people will just cut you right on off exactly like
all right.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
So I just don't trust this.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And I think, you know, we grew up with one
drive through window, and it taught us patience, you know,
it taught us appreciation for that drive through worker. Now
you got these kids growing up with two sides. They
think everything's supposed to happen fast. I just I'm not
here for it.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The other problem with the double drive through is sometimes
I don't have great hearing, but sometimes I don't know
if which speaker they're talking.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Are you talking to me? Are you talking to the person?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So then I start to order and it's like, oh no, wait,
that was for the that was for the one over.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
That wasn't for me.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
And do you guys wait for them to greet you
or do you just start talking?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You got to wait, don't you.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
But now they got AI, so it's hi, you're using
your reward ports.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I'm having a whole conversation.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And then I'm like, hey, girl, yeah, let me get it,
and then hello, Yeah, he's order.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm like, but I was just talking to Sarah, So
how did you get hit? Jack? It's very weird.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Sometimes they'll wait for a while and they won't greet you,
and then they'll act rude to me, like as if
I was supposed to just know to order.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I'm like, well, I need the signal.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Fam.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I know you're working a lot of jobs.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It's too much.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It is Jack corugs me.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That reminds me of when you call like a customer
service line and it will be like, thank you for
calling the bank, my name is Teresa.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
How may I help you? And then the person goes,
what do you want?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, because they recorded that ahead of time, you know,
like on their first day of work. They recorded their greeting,
you know, and they were so happy to be there,
like I got a job now, like benefits and it
pays all right. So it's like, hey, written in your
bosses right there, Hey, record your greeting for the customers.
You don't have to say no, hello, thanks for calling
the bank. My name is Teresa. What can I do
for you? And then when it finally goes to them.
I'm like four years of working there. They're like, what
(03:49):
do you want?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And the same thing happens at the drive through is
Welcome to McDonald's. It'll be like a woman, like somebody
who set it up. Welcome to McDonald's. Time may help
you today.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What do you want? There's some guy? What do you want?
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Wait, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
And then after we finally get through all that, it's
almost time to merge my anxieties.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
All up? Do you want to donate?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Please? Like I can barely afford this meal. I don't
want to.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I don't want to donate today, Like it's just a
lot I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Or like when you're in the store and you're deciding
if you go up to the counter or use the screen.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I had that this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh yes, you know what I mean? Yes, right?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Like what would they prefer me to do? Because I'm
here to help, Like whatever's easiest on you. I love
the women who working on McDonald's. But do they want
me to order from them? Do they want me to
order on the screen?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
The only way I'm using the kiosk is if the
lines are busy. I prefer to deal with the human
being if I can. I just feel like I trust
the process better.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And there's poop on those things.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Why I don't know, But what I really feel like,
I feel like a rebel is and I don't know
why I feel like a rebel.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Like I was at the airport the other day.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I was a rebel and there was a Starbucks and
it was the line was very long, but then I
had mobile ordering, so I kind of like stood there
for a second and I'm like, why is no one
doing that? So I'm mobile ordered. This same happened to
me at Midway the other day at the Duncan. There
there's a dunkin at Midway and there's a little sign
that says you can't dunk in mobile order, but they
(05:11):
have like an intern like a Midway mobile order system
or something.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
There's a little signs and.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The line is like all the way down, like I
don't know, Harry Carrey's bar whatever, all the way down,
and I'm like, I'm waiting in the line, and then
I see the sign, I'm like, why is no one
doing this? So I did, and then I go around
to the backside and there's my drink waiting right there.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now am I wrong?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Why if everybody else is not paying attention to the possibilities,
then it's that's not on me.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's what's wrong with the world.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
We need patience, Okay, you need to get it back
a head line like everybody else, but.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They have an option. Reading is fundamental that's available to everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Same with swinging over to the other drive to like
if no one's doing it, why can't I?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Because it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You need to stay in the back of the line,
because now I'm in a line wondering how did he
get all the way up there?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
How did he just walk past me and go get
his drink and even ordered?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yet you got to be a leader, right, But.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I felt like I don't like the pink the pink
panther or something. I don't know, Like I saw the
sign and I.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And then I was like.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Everybody and everyone's looking at me, like, what is this guy?
What is he to think I have to wait in line?
I don't there's a sign.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Everybody had access to the same sign, so everybody had
the equal opportunity unless you didn't read or write English.
I suppose in that case you wouldn't have known but
I gotta think most people in line could read English.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yes, so it's not my phone, right, Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Stick to the school, right.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
One gotta be smarter, You gotta work smarter.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
