I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.
She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.
I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.
That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.
Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?
How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?
I think you’re autistic for caring about this so much

You are a loser. Please make sure not to breed. Ever.
Oh, and you are the reason they make chicken tendies. At home McLoser feed.

They are clearly stalking you. If you don't file a police report, at least gun down the entire mess of them.

Not op, but I don't think you know what the word "autistic" means at all. You don't use it correctly. Also, he is about the opposite of autistic, even in the way you use it.

Today I went to Taco Bell. I ordered the usual, a $5 box with 2 nacho fries on the side with an extra large Baja Blast Mt. Dew. I ordered it in the drive-thru. I don't like it when the employees try to speak to me but I understand that they have to if I want the correct order. When I arrived at the window the cashier took my money (a crisp $20 bill) and handed me back the incorrect change. I politely informed her that she gave me the wrong amount back and after a brief argument she acknowledged that I did not receive an extra two dollars that she shorted me. Somewhat disturbed by this development I pulled to the next window and received my food and drink, my mind still racing from prior events. The bills that she handed me were wrinkled and stained-I might as well throw them out! I pulled into a vacant parking space faced away from the building toward a small clearing behind it and began eating my food. I don't like to be around people. The noises and smells that they make are overwhelming to my senses. As I finished my burrito in my $5 box one of the employees exited through the back of the building and began ambulating toward the clearing. It was the cashier who handed me the wrong change. I knew that there was a neighborhood behind so I figured she was walking that way and would be out of sight and out of mind soon. I was wrong. She sat down on the curb ten feet away from my fine vehicle (Ford Aspire) and began SMOKING A CIGARETTE! This was absolutely unacceptable! I rolled my window down and angrily but politely asked her to smoke elsewhere because the smoke might upset my asthma even with my windows up! She began to walk away and as she did so I heard her ask me "Why don't you eat inside dude?" What nerve! I ignored her and finished my meal to the best of my ability, my nerves shot and my appetite ruined. I disposed of my garbage and headed home. I made a call in to Taco Bell's corporate office and reported that location because I frequently smell marijuana.
