Stuttering at the drive thru window
Content
Stuttering at the drive thru window My stutter has gotten worse this year. I'm 42. I hate it, sometimes the drive thru window people are kinda rude when I order. The last one at Del Taco said "OMG", it was embarrassing and I was gonna complain on Google or email corporate but what for? Also, at the regular McDonalds I go to I kinda take long to spit out the code, a lot of "Ums", then the guy said, "I knew it was you (my name)". FML. I now just go to the curbside and wait for my order but it sucks we wait like 10-12 minutes there instead of the 3 minutes at the drive thru line. We aren't priority.
