13 mysterious and bizarre tales from the drive-through

“Had a guy come through Tim Hortons in the morning. Go to give him his coffee and he asks me to wait a second. Grabs the beer from his cup holder and chugs the rest of it. Throws it out the open passenger window, takes coffee from my hand, says thank you and drives away.”

“I worked at a McDonald’s last year. We had a regular drive-through customer who was odd. He had a huge beard and was always wearing a Hawaiian button-up shirt, and always had a fake skeleton wearing a hat in his passenger seat. I still don’t have any ideas as to why.”

“A guy nonchalantly ordered a slice of cheese pizza while his hands were covered in blood a few days ago. He didn’t acknowledge it at all. I gave him some extra napkins.”

“Was working drive-through at Hardees as my first job. It’s about 10 p.m. on a Friday night and someone comes into the drive-through. They order a strawberry malt. As part of my ‘scripting’ I ask if they want to add two apple turnovers for $.99. They gleefully agree! Cool! ‘Your total is $3.14, pull to the next window.’

And they didn’t. They were laughing. And there was lots of noise. And the noise continued and there was more laughing. Tentatively, I poked my head out of the window and saw 6 high school kids carrying a sofa. They hauled the sofa to the window and asked for me to dump the milkshake all over the sofa. Whatever, they paid for it so I enjoyed it! When I gave them the pies they proceeded to smash them and smear them all over the sofa. Then they carried it to the parking lot and loaded it onto a truck and drove away.”

“Once a guy handed us a Chihuahua puppy through the window. Said something ominous about ‘getting rid of it’ if we didn’t want it. Luckily, the supervisor at the time was cool about it. Little guy hung out in a fry box for a while. The supervisor’s younger brother ending up adopting it.”

“A friend of mine worked at an ice cream place. The woman ordered five ice cream cones. When she pulled around she saw that the woman had four dolls buckled into the back seat.”

Maybe she thought of them as her children. Maybe they were worth a lot of money. We hope it was the latter.

“I work at an Arby’s in Indiana. About a year ago a woman came through with a pet monkey in a diaper on a leash. She handed me her money, acted like everything was normal. When I went to hand her the change the monkey jumped in the window took the change and hopped back.”

“Working at McDonald’s I’ve had a regular customer who drives through just about every day twice a day and he is always shaving his face with an electric razor. Every single time.”

“We had a guy with a cross tattoo come through our McDonald’s drive-through. The worker asked him about it and he said ‘Oh. I’m Jesus Christ, I’ve come to judge the world, turn water into wine, and bring the dead back to life.’ Fully serious.”

“So a girl and her boyfriend come through the drive-through, get their food, and take off. Next car pulls up, and it’s a guy just bawling his eyes out.

Turns out the girl in the car ahead of him was his girlfriend and she was cheating on him with the guy.”
