It was a blustery day, and the temps went from the low 30s to the mid-70s, and I went from hot morning coffee to iced cold brew by the afternoon. I know I said I wasn't going to go to Dunks again because they are skimpy on the coffee and the brew just isn't like it used to be, but there was no Bigbucks, I mean Starbucks, to spend big bucks on coffee, so I ended up at Dunks. Yes, I did.
I had to work the graveyard shift, so it was around 2:30 a.m. when I pulled into Dunks, ordered a cold brew, and because I was peckish, ordered an egg and cheese with sausage on a croissant. I pulled to one of the spots to consume the snack when I saw five teenage boys bent at the knees shuffling into the drive-thru, one holding his hands up like he was clutching a steering wheel, and the rest sitting like passengers in an invisible car.
The tramp, tramp, tramp of feet in unison caught my attention as they came into the light. I was in mid-bite and was so stunned at what I was seeing I didn't move. They shuffled up to the drive-thru menu and ordered. Then they shuffled up to the window and waited like they were in a car for the Dunks person to take their money and hand over their order.
I laughed in spite of meself and finished my snack as I watched this whole pantomime play out. The Dunks person didn't seem to think this odd, but the person handing the cashier the drinks was giggling, I could see them in the window.
After completing the transaction, they shuffled to a parking space, ate and drank their meals while still in the sitting position, and then shuffled out just like they came in. I was thoroughly amused and entertained, and thought about how creative they were.
I took these through me windscreen but blurry enough to protect the not-so-innocent, LOL.

So now we all know what to do if the only place to get coffee and a donut is a drive-thru and you don't have a car. Make it like you do! Kudos to these creative teenage geniuses.

Cappy you sure that isn't the Weasil driving the car(?)??? That is exactly something he'd do being a landlubber and all. You must have been laughing your seafaring ass off at that. Wish I'd been there mate. We could have pulled up in our invisible sports car and revved the motor a few times, LMAO!
