Doesn't matter if we're sitting at Chick-fil-A, Bojangles, or Whataburger - if we pull away from that drive-thru and find out our tea ain't sweet, there's gonna be problems.
Yeah lol but they don’t always get your name right. My mom’s name is Erin, and people have spelled it Aaron many times. And she says “Do I look like a boy to you?”

I was vacationing in New Orleans couple weeks ago. Dine at a BBQ joint and those SOBs had the nerve to serve me unsweetened tea and packs of splenda on the side.
I just say "fire sauce". I know it will be a handful, that's given - I just hope it's not all mild sauce. Or that verde stuff. The horror, the horror....
Oh god... Usually if we ask a customer to pull forward with no one behind them, it'll be during breakfast because we're waiting on biscuits to finish baking. Suckers take 8 minutes to bake.
Being in the SF Bay Area, I tried going through a Burger King drive-thru on a mountain bike. I don't know why they didn't take the order. I mean, if I can drive down the curvy part of Lombard Street on a mountain bike, then I can carry a Double Whopper while riding a mountain bike.

I'm grateful that in my neck of the woods, no matter which fast food place I'm driving through, they're always generous with the napkins. I'm clearly ordering only for myself and yet I always get a minimum of a half dozen napkins. Usually, two get used, two get stuffed in the glove box for future use (either on spills or as emergency tissues) and two go in the napkin holder on the kitchen table. I can't remember the last time I actually had to buy napkins...
Everything about Chick-fil-A was So True Ya'll. 30 cars ahead of me at Chick-fil-A was out of there in 15 minutes. Yes, 3 lines with at least 10 cars each in front of me. I counted and clocked it. AND my order was right. That's service Southern Style.
I've paid for the order of the people in the car behind me a couple of times when I felt like I could afford it, and it gave me the most awesomely warm feeling! I'm happy to see somebody else thought of that too.
One person had a jerk behind them honking the horn, so when he pulled up to the first drive-thru window he decided to pay for their meal. As he pulled forward he could see the cashier explaining to the jerk behind him what had happened, and the expression on the jerk's face just softened in shock. Then when he got to the second window to pick up the food he picked up his and theirs as well (since he had both receipts).
The Culver's here had everyone pulling forward in designated spots at the height of Covid. It was the first time I wasn't totally scared of a pull forward request.
For me...if that sweet tea doesn't have half a cup of sugar in it...IT AIN'T SOUTHERN SWEET TEA! If you aren't going into diabetic shock..YOU AREN'T DRINKING SOUTHERN SWEET TEA!
I miss the South so much after watching these comments. Great food, great people. One of the few places I visited where I become the tourist attraction. “You’re from Canada?” “Yes ma’am” “I heard it is cold up there.🥶 Compared to Mississippi, yes ma’am.”😊
It sure is! We took a two week vacation and drove up from Alabama to Canada, stopping at all the historic places on the way and to get maple sugar candy in Vermont. We were all in shorts when we got to the area in the mountains where we were camping, got out of the car and like to froze to death. In June.
They'll *know* I'm a Yankee when I use the term "you guys". Even if I read the last verse in 1 Corinthians aloud as "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you guys."
Y’all should do one about growing a garden, and all your neighbors giving you vegetables that you can’t refuse. Even though you have plenty. Happens to us every summer. 🤷♀️😂
And what to do with all the zucchini. I miss when we had a yard that grew things. We moved to this house and the soil is the worst I've ever seen in my life. It won't grow a weed.
Squash!! Every daggum year I hear the same thing from my really wonderful neighbors, ‘Doncha know, was blessed, the Lord giveth-in my mind I’m praying please oh please…tomatoes or cucumber Lord-look here in this 5 gallon bucket…a bumper crop for squash! As they set the bucket in my kitchen door they add, ‘There’s two more buckets on your carport.’ I don’t even like squash but have a couple of recipes that hides the taste. My husband loves squash, I make his momma’s recipe until he even says, squash…again. I don’t waste food but when it gets to that point that I stand in my kitchen and grind up squash after squash-singing Amen over and over-then put the mash in my compost heap.

I live in Sacramento CA. The line for Chick-fil-A? Is always out the door, and down the road about 6 blocks. Triple Lane. 2 Doors Down is Taco Bell. Crickets. I think it's the prayer request list that does it.
I live in San Diego, CA The reason for that is in CA we have real Mexican food to eat. We don't have to eat at Taco Bell. Every other corner is a Mexican restaurant or walkup/drive through place. What we really need is more BBQ joints! We have some good ones but nowhere near enough!!!!

So yes, I went through with it because that's the proper Southern thing to do. He was apparently buying for himself, the dispatcher, the three guys hiding out at the speed trap, some inmates....
I've been in lines like that at least 5 times I can think of. I always pay it forward and usually get lucky that it's my price or not much over lol. They've had some lines last all day that way.
Yes, a louisiana one finally! lol the videos about pronouncing state names says louisiana part 2 but i cant find part one. Thibodaux was on the video i watched though, my hometown.
Am I the only one in tears of laughter at the comment about the ice cream? It hasn’t worked since TN had a winning football team. Of course being from TN the tears could be real lol 😂
I go to Arby's just to hear them ask if I want any horsey sauce. Not that I like horseradish sauce, but the little kid in me giggles every time I hear grown adults saying horsey sauce.
It is true that we often go to the drive-thru just to order a sweet tea. Also, we have our specific sweet tea spots, and sweet tea places to avoid. Zaxby's is my spot. They have my favorite tea AND my favorite ice.
The glove box napkin stash is real! But far be it from me to ask for additional napkins in a drive-thru or surreptitiously grab a handful as I’m leaving a fast food joint.
I love the “pay it forward” concept. My mom was in one, and several months later, I was in one too. Guy in front of me paid for my $12 order. I paid for the person behind me, and they only bought a cup of coffee! I paid less than $2. Not sure why someone would wait in a long drive through line at lunch time for a cup of coffee, but whatever. Anyway, since his order was so little, I can’t imagine him paying it forward, so it probably ended there. I then wondered if the guy in front of me started it, or if several people in front of him did. I wonder if there is a drive thru employee that could chime in on how long these “pay it forward” chains end up, who starts them, who breaks them, and possible reason. And then there’s the paranoia of if this is a social experiment to observe what happens.
I heard one take on those pay-it-forward chains that I thought was pretty interesting. A person broke the chain and said that it was because they knew how to receive and no one in front of them did. Like they didn't feel worthy of the gift, so they paid for the person behind them to appease that guilty feeling of receiving something they didn't deserve. I like the idea of people paying for the person behind them because they feel inspired to do so, but I hope no one does it out of some feeling of obligation or guilt.
Look, "guy that wants breakfast at 11" I want lunch at 10 after I've been working 6 hours already. So get outta line so I can get my Cajun chicken sandwich!
i agree, my husband works nights for 5+ years now, my breakfast is dinner now. driving around at 7am looking for place that sells burgers or at home making dinner lol
As a nightshifter, Sonic and other places that serve the full menu all day are the BEST. (Plus, Sonic and Steak&Shake are the only two chains that have never let me down when I get that 6am milkshake craving. I felt that "ice cream machine hasn't worked since Tennessee had a winning football team" on a Knoxville level.)
Try ordering an unsweetened iced tea with lemon and Splenda at a McDonald's sometime. (I can't have sugar.) First they give me a cup of coffee. Remind them I ordered the tea. They give me a cup of hot water and a tea bag. No, it was unsweetened iced tea with lemon and Splenda. Check rearview mirror - there's no one else in line. Look inside - the store's deserted. Who's order are they getting mine mixed up with?They give me a sweet tea. I remind them I had the unsweetened tea with lemon and Splenda. They give me a plain, unsweetened tea. Take it, because at that point you have to wonder what they'll give you next.
Thus the reason I refuse to use drive-thru. If I can't at least walk-in, I go elsewhere. Have not been to our local Hardee's for almost 2 years now for that very reason.
That's because you've got the lowest common denominator working there. Those folks will hire anyone. The only thing I will ever order from that place is oatmeal or iced coffee if it's an absolute emergency. Especially after they groaned when I placed my order one time because my order of two oatmeals and an iced coffee would take 'SOOO long' to make. Apparently opening the packet of oatmeal and pouring hot water on it is the hardest thing to make on their menu. That's scary. How the heck are they making that 'food' if oatmeal takes longer than a burger?
😂 That's true about Taco Bell. Even when you don't ask for sauce, they still give you at least 5 packets of each type. Edit - I just remembered about soy sauce packets from Chinese restaurants. Not Southern I know, but they always give you a ton when you get take-out. Even when I tell them I don't need any, I get them. I'm not even sure why any store needs to sell the stuff, just use your packets. 😂
What's worse is if you specifically ask for 10 packets of Fire, they give you 10 packets of Hot. Happens EVERY time! Seriously, why does Taco Bell even have Hot anymore? Fire is by far the superior sauce. I say get rid of Hot, which no one likes, and bring back Verde!
Someone bought our meal on Easter at Wendy’s and it was so sweet 🥺 my mom’s probably done it 5 times but we’ve only had it done to us twice and it shocked us! Made us so happy.
The pull up line reminds me of the Hardee's here. You're the only car in the drive thru and they ask you to pull forward. You wait 20min for your food, and it's cold.
Eric Lucas: In my home town we got a Whataburger a little less than a year ago (BEFORE the Yankees bought the franchise). But, weirdly, they make you wait for your burger (which seems OK; takes time to make a Whataburger). But then it's cold when you get it!!! Very disappointing!
Hardees on Madison Boulevard in Madison, Al is the worst managed fast food restaurant in the history of fast food restaurants. I drive by hungry and refuse to stop now so many bad experiences. Left there at least five times without my food over the years.
The most inscrutable thing I ever heard at a drive-thru was the cashier asking us for breakfast at Wendy’s, “djaw wone jay-ee?” This was before we had lived in the South, we were just visiting, so we were unschooled in the accent (Jackson, Miss). “Do y’all want jelly” took three tries before we heard it right.
Lol God Bless Louisiana!!! I’m from there and the first time my husband went there he couldn’t believe we had drive through daiquiri places! I mean, they tape the lid down, what more do you want?!!
"Is that a horse in front of me?" 🤣 I almost died. I legit saw a horse walk around the Chick-fil-a one time. They weren't in the drive-thru, but hey, close enough.
"God bless Louisiana." I was crying! On Easter Sunday, while driving through Louisiana, I stopped at a Walmart, and they were selling booze. Not just PBR and white claw, but a whole spinner rack of those little dollar shot bottles of vodka in flavors like cotton candy and peanut butter, and the better part of a grocery aisle of whiskey, gin, rum and tequila. And when I expressed disbelief to the clerk who was stocking that aisle, she'd grinned and said: "welcome to Louisiana!"
I’m not a “real” Southerner (Northern transplant to Central Florida 🤦🏼♀️ - I KNOW!!!) but I have LITERALLY said (and experienced) EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. Of this sketch 🤣🤣🤣. This was awesome 💜💜💜
They really missed the mark not offering a gallon size, but then no time to go to the bathroom so maybe it's better this way. Another middle school teacher.
I live in the South. I drink unsweetened tea. It’s a very lonely existence. Would form a support group if I could find another person who doesn’t like sweet tea...
Hi everybody, my name is Brad, and I am a southerner that doesn't like sweet tea. God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
If you like lemonade, Chic-fil-A's sugar free is good. My poor husband has to have the sugar free tea, thanks to his Mama passing on the family diabetes.
My dad (born in Knoxville, raised in Birmingham, rest of his life in Atlanta) only drank unsweet tea. I remember many times he would accidentally refill his glass from mom's sweet pitcher, take a sip and scream "yuck!" Keep in mind his voice was loud enough you could pick him out of the crowd at Jordan-Haire during games, so that yuck really reverberated.
As a Tennessee fan the line about the ice cream machine not working since Tennessee pay had a winning team made me lol and then cry because it's true ...
Ok when he said the person in front of him probably works at Dollar General since I don't ever see more than one person working there so true laughed out loud
I can't tell you how many times I have driven the 15 miles to the nearest McDonalds only to be told the ice cream machine is broken. Again. That ine nearly made me spew my sweet tea.
@@Meaganttv l understood...l was behind facetious. I'm from Alabama ... l even remember all sodas were called "dope". I miss Nehi! I still say COKE when l mean soda!
Just be careful asking for only FOUR sauces at Arby's drive-thru here in AZ😎~We NOW have enough regular and horsey sauce until the 2nd Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ🙏🌠...Oh well, their roast beef DELISH:)
A Popeyes recently opened up only a block away from our Chic Fil A and I ordered chicken at Popeyes and remember I felt so guilty being an avid Chic Fil A go to place fan it literally felt like I was cheating on them!🤣
"So the C.I.A can hack into my TV and listen to every word I say but McDonald's can't hear me say "no pickles" through the drive-through speaker?" this one was sure relatable.
I got into an argument and pulled out of the drive through lane at a McDonalds when I asked the "person" working the line to read back my order. She was insistent that the order was visible on the screen after I told her FIVE TIMES the 8.5" by 11" section of the screen from my order said "Page 2 of 2 and its only showing me half the order."
That's why I HATE drive through. I rarely eat fast food to begin with. A. You never have time to read the menu board. B. They always f&@% up SOMETHING in the order. C. When I DO eat fast food, I Really am in a hurry and don't have time to go back and argue about it.
My "glove box" only became such when COVID hit and I started carrying disposable gloves in there. Even then, it is still full of napkins, sauce packets, and wrapped eating utensils.
My primary reason to go to Taco Bell is to replenish my store of hot sauce packets. I tried that stuff they sell in stores but it just don't got the same flavor.
“That ain’t worked since Tennessee had a winning football team.”

"is your medium really a medium or is it a large"
This is America, you tell me
That is definitely an appropriate question at Wendy's. Their "large" seems stuck in the year 2001. Guess they didn't get the message about downsizing.
I've had to create a list of sorts on this, sadly. Because when the large sizes are too big to fit in my cup holder, they've gotten way too big.

I've been in lines like that at least 5 times I can think of. I always pay it forward and usually get lucky that it's my price or not much over lol. They've had some lines last all day that way.

I had a fight with my mother-in-law once because she said sweet tea was a northern thing. I've lived in the north. It's not a northern thing.
Maybe she lived in Southern Indiana. We are a Northern State with a Southern culture.
Tea at all is barely a thing in the North. Rather have iced coffee.
@@tailsoluv Mood. Unless it's the tea from work when a couple of the managers, gm or I've made it, I'd sooner coffee.
maybe perhaps its a "southern thing"?😉
Yes, a louisiana one finally! lol the videos about pronouncing state names says louisiana part 2 but i cant find part one. Thibodaux was on the video i watched though, my hometown.
I actually knew that one because my sister dated a guy with that last name
Am I the only one in tears of laughter at the comment about the ice cream? It hasn’t worked since TN had a winning football team. Of course being from TN the tears could be real lol 😂
No matter how many times I say "No Sauce" Arby's seems determined to change my mind. I have enough sauce in my fridge to open my own franchise!
Arbys sauce is the shit love it on roast beef
CFA sauce is the bomb, though...lol
I go to Arby's just to hear them ask if I want any horsey sauce. Not that I like horseradish sauce, but the little kid in me giggles every time I hear grown adults saying horsey sauce.
@@shadowmatrix0101 LOLOLOLOL
It is true that we often go to the drive-thru just to order a sweet tea. Also, we have our specific sweet tea spots, and sweet tea places to avoid. Zaxby's is my spot. They have my favorite tea AND my favorite ice.
The glove box napkin stash is real! But far be it from me to ask for additional napkins in a drive-thru or surreptitiously grab a handful as I’m leaving a fast food joint.
I love the “pay it forward” concept. My mom was in one, and several months later, I was in one too. Guy in front of me paid for my $12 order. I paid for the person behind me, and they only bought a cup of coffee! I paid less than $2. Not sure why someone would wait in a long drive through line at lunch time for a cup of coffee, but whatever. Anyway, since his order was so little, I can’t imagine him paying it forward, so it probably ended there. I then wondered if the guy in front of me started it, or if several people in front of him did. I wonder if there is a drive thru employee that could chime in on how long these “pay it forward” chains end up, who starts them, who breaks them, and possible reason. And then there’s the paranoia of if this is a social experiment to observe what happens.
I’ve broken them, because I couldn’t afford to pay it forward. Felt bad about it too.
Kindred souls. Our conversations would make people's heads explode.
I heard one take on those pay-it-forward chains that I thought was pretty interesting. A person broke the chain and said that it was because they knew how to receive and no one in front of them did. Like they didn't feel worthy of the gift, so they paid for the person behind them to appease that guilty feeling of receiving something they didn't deserve.
I like the idea of people paying for the person behind them because they feel inspired to do so, but I hope no one does it out of some feeling of obligation or guilt.
I had people not buy for the whole ticket just give what them would have paid or pay for the 2 orders behind them.

Look, "guy that wants breakfast at 11" I want lunch at 10 after I've been working 6 hours already. So get outta line so I can get my Cajun chicken sandwich!
i agree, my husband works nights for 5+ years now, my breakfast is dinner now. driving around at 7am looking for place that sells burgers or at home making dinner lol
I work nights too...by 8 or 9 AM all I want is SUPPER and bed!!! Breakfast is at 6 PM.
As a nightshifter, Sonic and other places that serve the full menu all day are the BEST. (Plus, Sonic and Steak&Shake are the only two chains that have never let me down when I get that 6am milkshake craving. I felt that "ice cream machine hasn't worked since Tennessee had a winning football team" on a Knoxville level.)
Only if you can give us the biscuits and gravy at 11. Lol
@@TheSpirituallyDivineShoppe23 As someone who wants breakfast at 10:30PM, heck yeah why not?
Try ordering an unsweetened iced tea with lemon and Splenda at a McDonald's sometime. (I can't have sugar.) First they give me a cup of coffee. Remind them I ordered the tea. They give me a cup of hot water and a tea bag. No, it was unsweetened iced tea with lemon and Splenda. Check rearview mirror - there's no one else in line. Look inside - the store's deserted. Who's order are they getting mine mixed up with?They give me a sweet tea. I remind them I had the unsweetened tea with lemon and Splenda. They give me a plain, unsweetened tea. Take it, because at that point you have to wonder what they'll give you next.
Thus the reason I refuse to use drive-thru. If I can't at least walk-in, I go elsewhere. Have not been to our local Hardee's for almost 2 years now for that very reason.
That's because you've got the lowest common denominator working there. Those folks will hire anyone. The only thing I will ever order from that place is oatmeal or iced coffee if it's an absolute emergency. Especially after they groaned when I placed my order one time because my order of two oatmeals and an iced coffee would take 'SOOO long' to make. Apparently opening the packet of oatmeal and pouring hot water on it is the hardest thing to make on their menu. That's scary. How the heck are they making that 'food' if oatmeal takes longer than a burger?
Moral of the story: never go to McDonald's!
😂 That's true about Taco Bell. Even when you don't ask for sauce, they still give you at least 5 packets of each type. Edit - I just remembered about soy sauce packets from Chinese restaurants. Not Southern I know, but they always give you a ton when you get take-out. Even when I tell them I don't need any, I get them. I'm not even sure why any store needs to sell the stuff, just use your packets. 😂
What's worse is if you specifically ask for 10 packets of Fire, they give you 10 packets of Hot. Happens EVERY time! Seriously, why does Taco Bell even have Hot anymore? Fire is by far the superior sauce. I say get rid of Hot, which no one likes, and bring back Verde!
One time the girl behind the counter actually asked how many I wanted. I was surprised, but said just a handful. They always get used.
Jesus Saves Love God✝️
@@MattLovesVinyl The Verde sauce is the only one I really liked. The mild is ok, but the rest are too hot for me. 😂 Yes, I'm a wuss.
Arby's. Yep. So I ask for "Extra sauce" and they only give me one.
Dozen.
Someone bought our meal on Easter at Wendy’s and it was so sweet 🥺 my mom’s probably done it 5 times but we’ve only had it done to us twice and it shocked us! Made us so happy.
The pull up line reminds me of the Hardee's here. You're the only car in the drive thru and they ask you to pull forward. You wait 20min for your food, and it's cold.
same here the hardees by house always makes us pull up and wait like 15 minutes for our food. like why you aint busy im the only one here.
Eric Lucas: In my home town we got a Whataburger a little less than a year ago (BEFORE the Yankees bought the franchise). But, weirdly, they make you wait for your burger (which seems OK; takes time to make a Whataburger). But then it's cold when you get it!!! Very disappointing!
These people cannot comprehend to NOT bag your fries until the burger is ready and they want $15/hr?
Hardees on Madison Boulevard in Madison, Al is the worst managed fast food restaurant in the history of fast food restaurants. I drive by hungry and refuse to stop now so many bad experiences. Left there at least five times without my food over the years.
The most inscrutable thing I ever heard at a drive-thru was the cashier asking us for breakfast at Wendy’s, “djaw wone jay-ee?” This was before we had lived in the South, we were just visiting, so we were unschooled in the accent (Jackson, Miss). “Do y’all want jelly” took three tries before we heard it right.
That's even worse than the girl asking my daddy-in-law if he wanted some grits, and she stretched "grits" out until it had four syllables!
@@elwoodblues9613 You mean it doesn't?
Lol God Bless Louisiana!!! I’m from there and the first time my husband went there he couldn’t believe we had drive through daiquiri places! I mean, they tape the lid down, what more do you want?!!
I worked at Wendy's in Albany Georgia for four years. Every third car started with "I got a coupon!"
😫😫 I swear, if I had a Penny for every time I heard that, I'd be able to get out of fast food.
Great shout out to our drive thru daquiri stores in Louisiana. When I'm at my home in Arizona...I miss them!
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I visit this channel, and y'all never fail to make me smile.💖
"Is that a horse in front of me?" 🤣 I almost died. I legit saw a horse walk around the Chick-fil-a one time. They weren't in the drive-thru, but hey, close enough.
"God bless Louisiana."
I was crying! On Easter Sunday, while driving through Louisiana, I stopped at a Walmart, and they were selling booze. Not just PBR and white claw, but a whole spinner rack of those little dollar shot bottles of vodka in flavors like cotton candy and peanut butter, and the better part of a grocery aisle of whiskey, gin, rum and tequila. And when I expressed disbelief to the clerk who was stocking that aisle, she'd grinned and said: "welcome to Louisiana!"
That dude ain’t joking about the sweet and sour sauce it is like you’re taking money out McDonald’s charity box or something to ask for 1 pack!
I work at waffle house down here in Alabama and people pull up so fast that sometimes we flinch thinking glass is about to be flying everywhere
A couple years ago a pickup crashed into the local DQ and we were making those drive-thru jokes.
Can't drive 55...in the parking lot.
Okay, the napkin stash skit is spot-on. I actually eat cleaner the fewer I have so I can save the ones in the bag for later. 👃
"too many potholes to sip my Dr. Pepper" He must be in Kentuky
or N'awlyns!
I was thinking he must be in Louisiana.

Is it this really a medium. I want bucket because that will last until class is dismissed. I teach middle school y’all, the struggle is real
They really missed the mark not offering a gallon size, but then no time to go to the bathroom so maybe it's better this way. Another middle school teacher.
I'll add you to the prayer list and thank you for your service to this country
My one mocha had to last until 3. I hear you.
Tell them you want them to sponsor your class. Then drink the whole gallon yourself!! "Today's lesson is on sharing. Mine! Mine! Mine!"
My favorite UA-cam site. I tell people about it every chance I get.
I live in the South. I drink unsweetened tea. It’s a very lonely existence. Would form a support group if I could find another person who doesn’t like sweet tea...
I don't like ultra-sweet tea, last time I had some, it was so strong that it gave my doctor diabetes...

I'm in Texas and I hate sweet tea!!!
If you like lemonade, Chic-fil-A's sugar free is good. My poor husband has to have the sugar free tea, thanks to his Mama passing on the family diabetes.
My dad (born in Knoxville, raised in Birmingham, rest of his life in Atlanta) only drank unsweet tea. I remember many times he would accidentally refill his glass from mom's sweet pitcher, take a sip and scream "yuck!" Keep in mind his voice was loud enough you could pick him out of the crowd at Jordan-Haire during games, so that yuck really reverberated.
There was a drive thru daiquiri place in Longview TX. I would grab one on my way home on Fridays.
As a Tennessee fan the line about the ice cream machine not working since Tennessee pay had a winning team made me lol and then cry because it's true ...
I’m watching this in a drive-thru lol.
Chic-fil-a is the only place I know my order will always be right! And you get plenty of sauce. So thankful we have 2 of them. 🙂🙂🙂.
Completely hysterical - especially that bit about the prayer list!
That’s what we do! We always compare the wait in the drive through to Chick Fil A
Ok when he said the person in front of him probably works at Dollar General since I don't ever see more than one person working there so true laughed out loud
I LOVED the lightning when the gentialman wasn't ordering God's chicken. 🤣 And now he knows. LOL
This is so true in the north too
When they launched the fire sauce at Matt, I LOST IT. 😭😂
At least it wasn't grits...oh wait, that's Cracker Barrel.
I was making the "drive through" joke just a few weeks ago. But it was Cracker Barrel that the Silverado drove through.
Actually I have been to a Cracker Barrel that had a drive thru. Man the south is where dreams come true.
HikanuRain. ..never seen a drive thru but we do have one that they bring food ordered to your car.
Ah, yes, the fishbowl-sized drive-thru daiquiri. Gotta love 'em. Guess he wasn't in the mood for the gallon size...?
$47? How many people are in that Honda civic?! Nah....😂😅🤣🤷♀️Yep! Lol
"I'd like some Northern Fried Chicken please"
"That ice cream machine hasn't worked since Tennessee had a winning record" Damn 😂😂

Someone made our Cracker Barrel a drive through a few weeks ago!! lol!
“I am sorry Jesus” , after ordering Popeyes, that is perfect
That’s my favorite too lol
i thought he got shot
I guess I'm not southern enough yet. Why does Jesus hate Popeyes?
@@elainehill6504 Popeyes clearly isn’t southern enough for Jesus lol
No clue
I can't tell you how many times I have driven the 15 miles to the nearest McDonalds only to be told the ice cream machine is broken. Again. That ine nearly made me spew my sweet tea.
My glove box is full of extra fast-food restaurant napkins.. good for any mess😊
Tired of explaing "You're A Peach" is a good compliment..
Love our drive thru daiquiris in Louisiana
Let's not forget, "Put extra ice in the sweet tea. It's iced tea, not lukewarm tea."
More ice: less tea. Think 'bout it y'all.

Yes!😆
Coke is Coke

Just be careful asking for only FOUR sauces at Arby's drive-thru here in AZ😎~We NOW have enough regular and horsey sauce until the 2nd Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ🙏🌠...Oh well, their roast beef DELISH:)
😆😂😄🤣
I actually saw 2 people at dollar general the other day, one was being trained, it was their first hour, they were about to be let loose on her own.
2:46 That's what happens when you have a store on every corner and back road in the South, you can only afford two employees per store.
Thats all that can pass the drug test.
They drug test at DG?
I have said many of these things. Plus my husband has a stash of napkins in his car!
Same
I laughed when the guy said can I please have a Popeyes chicken sandwich and lightning struck and he said sorry Jesus.😂😂😆😆
A Popeyes recently opened up only a block away from our Chic Fil A and I ordered chicken at Popeyes and remember I felt so guilty being an avid Chic Fil A go to place fan it literally felt like I was cheating on them!🤣
There's still places around Germantown Tn that post the speed limit as "40 mph,Horses 10 mph".
I kid you not.
"So the C.I.A can hack into my TV and listen to every word I say but McDonald's can't hear me say "no pickles" through the drive-through speaker?"
this one was sure relatable.
YES!
Right! They totally ignore any special requests that you make. Lol!
And u can never understand when they say it back...except the price...sounds like....ugfykhcgkxjgckbjcucjvjvlblvdtitdl that'll be $93.00
I got into an argument and pulled out of the drive through lane at a McDonalds when I asked the "person" working the line to read back my order. She was insistent that the order was visible on the screen after I told her FIVE TIMES the 8.5" by 11" section of the screen from my order said "Page 2 of 2 and its only showing me half the order."
That's why I HATE drive through. I rarely eat fast food to begin with.
A. You never have time to read the menu board.
B. They always f&@% up SOMETHING in the order.
C. When I DO eat fast food, I Really am in a hurry and don't have time to go back and argue about it.
I feel the biscuits and gravy part 😂 I get so mad at Mickey d when I can’t get my biscuits and gravy at 1035 😂😂
You can get biscuits and gravy at 1100 at Hardee's. Just saying. And they won't be dry like McDonald's.
Until noon on the weekend!
You can get biscuits & gravy all day at Bojangles.
Makes you wonder how southern they really are if they are making these videos and don't know that lol
When I used to live in just north of Houston, there used to be a Margarita/Daiquiri drive through stand right near my house.
"Why oh why didn't we just leave Fort Sumter alone"....
Because the Yankees had the supply chains for tea and none of it was sweet!
Wow Matt, that UT remark hurt. Accurate, but still hurt! 😄
My "glove box" only became such when COVID hit and I started carrying disposable gloves in there. Even then, it is still full of napkins, sauce packets, and wrapped eating utensils.
I busted out Laughing then the Fire Sauce Packets where thrown at Matt!🤣
Glove box stash 👍
Gotta love drive through daiquiri stands. God bless Texas.
They have them in Texas too?
Depends on the local laws. We also have dry counties.
My primary reason to go to Taco Bell is to replenish my store of hot sauce packets. I tried that stuff they sell in stores but it just don't got the same flavor.
