BEST Drive-thru EVER!

Okay, anyone who is ready to have the greatest drive-thru experience of their lives needs to hit the Taco Bell on 6th Ave in Decatur. I have had the experience twice, and the other day my brother experienced it with me, so now I have a witness.

The guy they have running the drive-thru is hysterical. Normally when you visit a drive-thru you get something like "Welcome to my restaurant. Would you like to try our special blah blah blah..." Nope, not this guy. Instead you get "Howdy, how are ya?"

Of course, it's such a pleasant greeting you have to respond in kind. "I'm great, thanks."

"What can we do to brighten your day?" Wow. I was just expecting a taco, not the mood-altering experiences that he's apparently ready to offer. And when you've finished ordering, he'll have some pithy repartee like, "Please stimulate the economy at the first window," or "Please present your currency or plastic equivalent at the first window."

Listening to the guy is a hoot, I guess because witty discourse is almost taboo at the drive-thru. That's really a shame. Corporations are so concerned about their employees staying "on message", and we've forgotten what it's like to actually exercise our brains and make use of the English language.
