Glenda and I wanted coffee this morning so I decided I would just venture out walking and try to get some. I walked to a busy intersection not far from our hotel and found a little coffee shop called the Mud Hut. Four cars were lined up on one side and three cars were lined up on the other. I saw a door so I went inside and asked if is it were possible to get service inside or must one line up with the cars outside.
The barista said, “You’ve got to lineup in your car.”
I told the guy, “I just walked from the Spruce Lodge. I don’t have a car. Should I just stand behind these cars that are waiting, or can you serve me here?”
He said “Stand behind the cars.”
One vehicle moved about every five minutes, so there were seven cars all sitting there with their motors running. I stood there for over 20 minutes without reaching the window. The carbon monoxide started to get to me so finally I just decided I had enough and I walked back to the hotel.Read more
TravelerStrange that they wouldn’t serve you inside.
Chuck CookMy concern was that seven cars ran their motors for 20 minutes just for a cup of coffee. Drive-through might be one of the more ecologically damaging and wasteful practices we have.
