Drive Thru…Really?

I thought this would be a great post considering it is May 5, which is Cinco De Mayo…I’ll leave it at that.  A couple weeks ago I traveled to Minerva, Ohio for a wedding and saw two things I have never seen before.  1.  Was a town completely cut off from AT&T, which would be a huge reason why I could never live there because I really enjoy my iphone.  2.  Was a drive thru beer and liquor store.  Really?  When I got back and shared that with people some thought it was normal but I had never seen one of those before.

I found it ironic that our national slogan with alcohol is “Don’t drink and drive” but when I saw the store my first thought was don’t drink and drive but drive to get your drink.  I know there is nothing wrong with alcohol or liquor stores but a red flag popped into my head when you drive thru the liquor store.  Here are a couple thoughts:

• Are we really that lazy that we can’t walk into a store to purchase what we need?
• I’m sure it’s no different than driving thru to get fast food or driving thru to get gas in Jersey or drive thru banking and car washes.
• What else can we make drive thru?
• How about drive thru haircuts or tanning?
• Drive thru child care drop off?

So for me I just found this very ironic and I wondered what other ironic venues are out there?
