Attempt to take the order-takers order ("Hi, may I take your order?") before they get a chance to take yours.

Order confusing items, i.e., "Hi, I'll have a large orange Coke and a small medium fries, please".

In a crowded drive-thru line, place a HUGE order, then slip out of line and watch the fun as the person behind you is handed 40 bags of food.

When you arrive at the window to pick up your food, hand them several bags of garbage & ask if they'll dispose of it for you. Make sure it smells.

Drive through with a carload of naked people.

Speak in such a garbled fashion that the order-taker will think there is a problem with the speaker and ask you to order at the window. When you arrive at the window, speak in the same garbled, incomprehensible fashion.

Drive through with someone on the hood to accept the food.

Bring along a Mr. Microphone. When the order-taker speaks, aim the mic at their speaker but do so while aiming the Mr. Microphone speaker at the mic to produce excruciating feedback of their own voice.

Have a friend hide in the trunk. When you approach the window to pickup your order, have him start yelling and banging his fists on the trunk.

If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker. When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees have been called over to the window to "check out the babe".

All of the above work very well when done at the late night pick up window.

Power Politics

From Frank Grover -
On a recent Vatican visit to the United Kingdom the Rover Group provided the Pope's entourage a courtesy stretch limo version of the new Mini Cooper S. When the Pope got wind of this he immediately wanted to go for a ride. When they got out to a rather remote portion of the country side the Pope asked the driver to pull over. The Pope went on to explain that it had been a dream of his for over thirty years to drive a Cooper S. As it had happened his friend of many years, Enzo Ferrari, owned a Mini and had spoken of what a thrill they were to maneuver, especially in the mountains. So following a brief conversation the chauffeur moved to the rear seat and the Pope took the wheel. As it had been quite a spell since the Pope had driven and his skills were quite rusty, erratic, and lacking it was not long before he was pulled over by the local constable. It didn't take the constable long to get on his radio to consult with his superior. "Boss," he explained, "I have a really big one here!" " Well, just what do you mean?" inquired the superior, asking if the the person detained was a member of Parliament. "Well, no" responded the constable. "Is it a member of the Royal family?" fired back the superior. "Well, no" responded the constable. "Well, just tell me who it is" barked the superior. "I am not sure" responded the constable. "I was too nervous to ask the big guy in the back seat who he was but I can tell you this - the Pope was the guy at the wheel!"
