Drive Thru...

Heard on the radio this week: "A drive through ______ would make my life easier."

My first response was "Grocery store!" I can't understand why it takes twice as long to do this weekly chore with the kiddos along! And forget about doing it in the rain, because you have to get the kids, groceries and self soaking wet to unload the shopping cart!

My second response was "Starbucks in Waynesburg!" Although I would really actually dislike seeing a Starbucks in our little town, I would like to have some sort of drive through coffee shop here (McDonalds doesn't count, even though Consumer Reports rated its coffee as a "Best Buy".) I got a Starbucks card for Christmas, which is burning a hole in my pocket. It's just too much trouble to drag the girls into Barnes and Noble or Target in order to use it!

Wondering what your responses might be?

P.S. Speaking of Consumer Reports, a photo that I sent in to their "Selling It" page, was printed in the latest issue. :-) If I have time sometime, I'll scan it in. Better yet, I'll bring it to the next Society meeting!

I think drive-through groceries would be great...coffee, too. When I lived in western Oregon, they had drive-through coffee places everywhere and good coffee, too.

P.S. There is a drive-thru Starbucks in Washington, PA, if you ever get up that way.

Also a drive-through Starbucks in Motown. I too have a Starbucks card I've had for years. . .oh, and you can't use your S. card at Barnes & Butts. They won't take it. Spoil sports.

Let's see. . .drive-through. . .Agway! Big sacks of potting soil, etc. loaded in your trunk.

drive-through is over on the way to the hospital on the left hand side as you're headed there, near the end of that superbusy road. . .wait, let me ask Martin--it's over by Panera and all that jazz.
