What kills me is the people who have been waiting in line for a while and they get to the speaker box to order they THEN figure out what they want like its there first time ever going to Mcdonalds (or any popular place)!!!! Supersize it and go! Sorry thats just a pet peeve of mine 
The diesel is great in the drive thru though
But its not even close to my secret drive-thru freak out weapon. Nothing will scare people more than when they lean out to hand me the food and my dog sticks his huge head over my shoulder and out the window to sniff the food, I have had 3 different girls actually drop the bag. Most will jump back. He is a 130 pound Alaskan Malamute with a head bigger than mine, plus his looks scare people because they think hes a wolf. Of course hes a big teddy bear but they dont know that.

About 18 years ago, some friends of mine found out that they had transmitters (I think it was a baby moniter) that were the same frequency as McD's. They parked outside and said "May I take your order" and then told the people they were out or drive around or whatever, Stopped there when they almost got caught as they did one from in the john and the flushing sound kinda gave it away. Mcdonald's changed frequencies.
One of them used to jog quite a bit (cute girl at the apartment complex he was trying to meet). He always heard a baby moniter and when he figured it out, he jogged late one night and made the sound of footsteps in his transmitter, then yelled "Wake up you evil little bugger," then more footsteps". Heard the parents freaking out checking the kid and the windows about 45 seconds later.

I like to use coupons to Save money.The local Arby's has coupons available alot of the time and I like their food.The thing I have learned is that I cannot use the dive thru with coupons.I have to go inside and place my order in order to get it right.I guess it is worth it to save money, but I don't know why it is so confusing to employee's.

If you want to save money, most fast-food restraunts have a little secret no one knows about. If you have a cup that is from that restraunt and it still looks new you are allowed to use it again. I do this all the time so I won't have to bother buying a new drink every time I go in there. Also, if you call the number on the backs on Burger King's reciepts and answer just a few questions you can get a free wopper. Those a just a few things I've learned to save a couple bucks.
Kinda on the subject, one time me and my friends went to McDonalds and got out of the car and went and stomped on the ground in front of the box you say your order into and we ordered about 20 bucks worth of food and when they said pull around I got my little gas powered remote control car out and I drove it up to the window. The lady at the window heard it and stared at it for about 5 minutes straight with the biggest "What the heck" look on her face. That was a couple years ago and me and my friends still laugh about it all the time. Good times good times

I have to back-space on one thing. I was on a 90 mile bicycle ride a few years ago and wheeled into a drive through in Escondido California...
They didn't even blink - just handed out the food and said thank you.
They looked at me kinda funny though - I guess they wished they were out on the road too!

its pretty easy to get free food from drive thru's ... down by my brothers house theres prolly 8 or so fast food places right by each other so we had a bright idea. we went to wendys got fries and a drink, then drove over to the second place and ordered somethin off the 99 cent menu and when we got to the window said "man these fries from wendys suck can we try your fries" so they gave us an order of fries. we continued this at each of the places and ended up with free burgers, bowls of soup, fries, drinks, and even some happy meal toys. there was one place that didnt give us anything but the woman had an attitude problem 
. i think we ended up spending 3 or 4 bucks total and got more than enough food for the 4 of us guys.

There was a guy that worked the drive up window at the local Jack in the Box that always tried to short change us. He'd try this every time we went through and I'm sure others as well. Needless to say, he's not there anymore.
