Can't I make you understand?

How to properly behave at a fast food drive-through:

1: Wait for the employee to address you, even if it takes longer than .00456 seconds for them to speak.
2: Do not address the employee by name; it usually freaks them out (sorry if that was incorrect semi-colon usage... I don't really care)
3: Instead of asking for things, say, "I would like...." Because, sometimes the employee on the other end will be like "no", just to be funny. (I haven't done that before.... Ever) Unless, of course, you actually aren't sure if what you want is an option.
4: SPEAK. CLEARLY. The employee can't hear you if you're all like, "I want a numberandnzm,nvjksaljsdbemnnerpphhy And that's all" (Response: ..... And would you like pickles on that?)
5: If you drive a manly souped-up diesel truck, PLEASE turn it off before you start speaking. Otherwise, allll the employee will hear is, "RUMBLERUMBLERUMBLE", and that's not exactly a fun thing to hear.
6: If you can't decide on what you want in less than five minutes, I think it would be faster if you went inside.
7: In spite of popular belief, ordering 9 shakes in a perky tone of voice does not make the employee any happier to make them.
8: Don't be on the phone. It's rude.
9: If you change your mind, do so at the window, instead of backing all the way back to the speaker box.. It'll make things easier for you. I promise.
10: Don't ask dumb questions like "What's on the ______ sandwich?" Obviously, if you know what the name of the sandwich is, you can see it on the menu board, HENCE you can SEE what the sandwich has on it. Duh.
