Gundopant does Taco Bell

A jumpy jalopy trundles to a stop and pulls in line behind another car at the Taco Bell drive thro. It is about 12.55 am. At the wheel, Gundopant is not very sure where to go it seems. It is his first month in America and he has not done it before. He decides to ask the guy at the window.

G: Where do I order food?
Taco Bell guy: back near the menu (giving him a withering look)
Can I order here?
No, you'll have too go back there.
But I know what I want, see... bean anything.
No Sir, we are not taking orders here.
Ok, Can I just reverse to the speaker then?
No sir, you'll have to go around.
Ok, says Gundopant a little annoyed, drives around and stops near the menu, his old car dies when he pulls to a halt. tries to start it with not too much success. Decides to take care of food first before they close. orders and walks to the window. The attendant puts his head outside and is surprised to see Gundopant sans car.

Sorry , Sir , this is a drive thro. Cant serve you food if you dont have a car.
Gundopant looks at the guy incredulously.
G: But you know I have a car, see there it is.
you need to be inside it sir. Please, I am really hungry.

5 min later, Gundopant is seen pushing the car to the window. He gets in and honks sharply. The guy pokes his head out and gives Gundopant a scathing look and the food. Gundopant pays and they both exchange money and a look of as much condescension as each can muster.

The next day, each is spotted with his friends regaling them with the nights adventure. Of immigrants from another planet and the developed country which is the victim of its own rules.

:) I must have broken the rules somehow. I have 'walked' up to the counter in a drive through at Sonics and successfully retrieved what I ordered. Perhaps I am a transformer in disguise.
