R. Linda:
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.
