Always use bank drive-thrus when I can . . .
I reside under the laws of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as such, am treated as a pedestrian. Numerous, but not all, fast food drive thrus have signs stating pedestrians are not allowed but my numerous financial institutions have no problem with a Segway-Thru.
Much of the fast food concerns are related to liability as they typically only have one (1) window and I've often seen ten plus (10+) cars/trucks lined up. This can result in a touchy situation for any "pedestrian", not to mention the horrible intake of gas, diesel and hybrid exhaust for ten minutes, so I understand why fast food establishments limit pedestrians. Banks, on the other hand, usually have two (2), three (3) or more drive thrus and don't usually see the long, long lines and are much more accepting. Indeed, at my banks, I rarely wait in any line. Usually I stop, deposit whatever in the vacuum tube, never converse with a teller and check that it was accurately processed on the web later on. I've yet to have a mistake by the tellers, though I must confess, I've had a few errors. I'm not big on lines and if you can't trust your financial institution to make the correct count or deposit, you should find another one. Why wait in lines? There's a big difference between the two (2). At the banks, its a "drop and glide" whereas at the fast food places its, wait in line, get to the menu/speaker board and order, wait in line, get to the window, pay, wait for delivery of goods and change, then off. Two (2) totally different situations. |

This looks staged, to me. Or, went back and did it again to get pictures to go with the story. My only objection to any staging is truth-in-reporting, but it seems like a lot of effort for unclear purpose?

He, like myself, does not look to have been denied service too many times in the past. (I have missed a meal or two in my day, but have seemed to have more than made up for it subsequently)
