If you think people are going to sympathize with you for making the lives of people working in shitty jobs during a shitty period in history that much harder, you are quite mistaken.

How is he making their lives worse by going to the place where one places and picks up a carryout order and attempting to place a carryout order?

---

tl:dr has never been more appropriate
---

"All" of the places in my city right now are doing the "carry out and drive through only" thing. Doors are open and you walk in to place an order. I prefer to NOT use the drive through and talk with someone face to face so I know they aren't distracted by everything under the sun and screwing up my order like McDonald's usually does. I only eat out a few times a year since I work very late hours and Steak & Shake is great because you can order and then sit there and talk to the people behind the counter or the on-duty police officer chilling out.

I get what's going on. I still think it's a HUGE overreaction to the situation. Where was the shut down of the country when 30,000 people died last year from the flu? There's less than a hundred dead from this virus and we're treating it like SARS or Ebola. Hell, we didn't even treat Ebola like Ebola when Obama was the president. It got swept under the rug and everyone seems to have forgotten about it.

If the virus is that highly contagious and remotely dangerous then CLOSE and LOCK THE DOORS and don't allow anyone inside and put signs up saying as such and quarantine the whole city or State for that matter.

I'm gonna have to keep on going to work since I drive a truck for a living. All you people would likely be dead in four days without deliveries to all the places everyone goes to and never thinks about supply lines or anything else that keeps this country from turning in to what it currently looks like. It's starting to remind me of Venezuela or Cuba in the stores and the news media making everyone panic certainly isn't helping anything.

No, I don't think YOU do. You've been proven on this thread alone to be wrong 100% of the time. Anything you say at this point just further proves it.

30,000 dead from the flu last year.
38,000 dead from car crashes
600,000 dead from cancer
850,000 dead from heart disease.

No country-wide crazy-ass lockdown.

86 dead from COVID-19 and suddenly Congress needs to spend 750 BILLION DOLLARS! WOW!

One of these things is not like the other. This is what we call "exploitation" and "overreacting".

I cant say for sure. But I think it has more to do with other stuff other than death. Because the amount of deaths is pretty low. I think it has to do with the way it leaves you respiratory system is disarray after its gone. And the fact that literally everyone who has anything resembling symptoms is at the hospital, and thats breaking the already broken health care system or whatever...
---

You seem solely focused on the death toll. We have a vaccine for the flu, we dont for this. Its estimated that 1 in 6 people that contract covid-19 require hospitalization. A lot of those people will need ventilators and we dont have anywhere near enough for that kind influx of patients into the healthcare system.

In Italy theyre literally picking and choosing who lives and who dies because they cant give everyone a ventilator, and we are on course to end up in the exact same situation here unless people take this seriously. Maybe you dont know anyone that is immunocompromised, over 50, has diabetes, heart disease, or any other health conditions, but many folks do and would rather not see their lives be put in jeopardy over the next couple months.

---

I'm not sure what to think right now but globally the death rate has surpassed the prior SARS outbreak. I think a lot of rhe strong reaction is because of the social media craze though. I think people legit get off on death and fear porn and bad news in general and it now effects public policy.

If anyone cares, I told a couple friends about what happened and they both told me to call a daytime manager. I did and the manager pretty much said the dude on the night shift didn't act appropriately. That guy was wrong and he should have taken my order. I didn't ask for anything in return, I just wanted to know what the policy is supposed to be. Manager said that someone may place an order and then be told to go either outside or to their car to wait so people aren't piling up in the "foyer" area.

I know we have a vaccine for the flu and despite that between 30,000 in a "good" year and 85,000+ die in a "bad" year WITH the vaccine in the United States, alone. This is why I'm focused on the death toll. It's very possible millions or even hundreds of millions will be infected world-wide but based on the numbers of those that actually died it seems like a gross overreaction to the situation. The news media, not necessarily social media, is mostly to blame for this. They're turning this in to some crazy baseball game apocalypse and it never had to get that way.

There's ONE case in my city now. One. In a city of 220,000 people there's ONE person with this virus. The reaction of the State doesn't warrant this level of lockdown and hysteria.

While I'm do think it's may be a little overreaction, you have to remember that it's ONE confirmed. Many others could have it and just don't know it yet. And could be spreading it pretty fast. Not to mention, I don't think everyone is worried about just death. But what could happen after the virus is gone...

It may very well linger like the flu does. It just seems to come back around about once a year. All this fretting isn't going to help anything. Unfortunately, the supply chains are coming to a standstill due to a bit of overreaction on the part of shippers and receivers. I'm reading that truck drivers aren't being allowed in buildings to make or pick up deliveries. Truck drivers are being turned away at rest stops and truck stops and can't find places to park to rest or get anything to eat. I'm seeing more and more trucks just randomly parked on the sides of highways which greatly increases the risk of crashes. Most of us are decent and experienced enough to deal with these problems, shrug our shoulders and move on but there's PLENTY of rookie drivers that have never dealt with this and are losing their minds as their paychecks aren't guaranteed and with far less places to park and eat which are already drastically limited it's breaking them. The country-wide shortage of truck drivers is only going to get worse.

Stores are still getting deliveries. People just wait for the store to open and buy out everything before others can because they think this is the end of times. That actually is a problem... But for the virus, it's not so much that it lingers, but that it cause a lot of respiratory issues. Also, there are some people who do have to be concerned of death. Older people and people with certain health issue do have a higher chance to die. But I believe a bunch of people have the chance to have respiratory issues for life... For truck drivers, it depends on the place. Some places might let them use the drive-thru to walk and get food. Also, many places still allow carry-out. As for the drivers, I think they are guaranteed to get paid. I know many who wouldn't keep driving if they weren't making any money. A co-worker of mine is talking about how his truck driving parents are making more because of the virus.

Sure, some drivers are probably making more but the overwhelming majority of regional and long-haul drivers are paid by the mile and get a pittance when there are no loads. They have to sit for quite some time before they start getting paid "lay over" pay and it's not very much, maybe $30/day in some cases. That's going to affect their next paycheck pretty badly when it can take 36 hours of sitting doing nothing to even START getting lay over pay. Then they have to sit for another 24 hours to get the pay. So, if they sit for 40-50 hours they get nothing. The only minor upside is that the clock is always rolling. There's no "8 hour" clock in trucking. All 24 hours of the day count. Usually this happens when you're hundreds of miles from home and parked somewhere that you think is going to be temporary and has terrible food and worse amenities.

I saw four tractors with no trailers sitting at a small truck stop yesterday all from the same company. Those guys are there likely because Whirlpool shut down. It's one thing to have an empty trailer and no load, it's an entirely new and much more difficult problem when you don't even have a trailer to load anything on. Four of them sitting there tells me their dispatch is overwhelmed with these issues. They'll likely have to go get empty trailers out of that facility and go elsewhere. This, in turn, will cause a problem at Whirlpool when they start loading trucks again as there won't be any empties on their lot. It's a snowball effect that 99% of the population has no idea goes on. This of course, in turn, will slow down the line at the businesses that want Whirlpool appliances, etc.

By the way, I've personally been turned away many times from drive-through windows because they won't take walk-up orders. You simply can't get a semi-trailer through a drive through so you try to appeal to their humanity but rules are rules and many nights a driver can be hungry for hours searching for something decent besides eating another shitty McDonald's meal. That problem, from what I understand, is continuing now and with the insides of truck stops being shut down and walk-in orders at many restaurants being the only way to order then truck drivers are truly being punished. I don't run long any more and get home every night and don't have this problem. I don't think I could ever go back on the road like that and tolerate the lack of choices. People wonder why the trucking industry can't keep drivers.

The way my co-worker was talking about it makes it seem like you could take a different item is need be. And there are certain things right now that definitely need to be delivered still. Maybe a change in load is what they may have to do for a little while. And Idk why we are only talking about truckers. Many people in many different businesses are also suffering. Many have lost a lot, or even all, of their hours.

As for the drive-thru, the reason you were turned away is because it's normally not allowed. But it's possible that they may overrule that because of the virus. I'm not saying you 100% can, but some places may allow it in certain circumstances. Like for truckers, for instance...

As for the choices, they were always pretty limited based on what was around. The virus makes it more limited, but that's for more than just truckers...

no, this is what we call trying to prevent millions of people from dying, and the current fallout from businesses closing to help.

this "overreacting" is what's helping America and many other places not have a repeat of Italy.

and millions of people is not an exaggeration. every simulation and projection ran has several million people dying because of this unless completely drastic measures are taken.

there is no vaccine for this, no one is immune to this, and even if a vaccine was to be made tomorrow, it would still be over a year until it's passed all trials to make sure it's safe and manufacturing could take place, and then you have to make enough for the entire world.

comparing this to the flu is pointless, because while the flu can kill you if you have extremely compromised immune systems, covid19 is far better at killing you because it makes you unable to breathe, regardless of your immune system.

Americans don't hug strangers randomly.

It's now known that you can contract the virus from across a room, 6 feet is not actually safe.

You don't need to hug someone, or even touch them. In fact touch, and germs are not how it's primarily spread, it's airborn, and can travel quite far to infect someone. Masks (normal ones) are no protection either, the particles are too small, you have to have a respirator mask to be safe (and those are hard to get.

They are not trying to prevent everyone from getting it at this point, but instead want to break it down into waves so we don't over tax our health system. That is the future plan and even with that, there will be quite alot of deaths, just not nearly as many as if it explodes and hits most of our population all at once.

This will be going on, from current reports, for at least 2-3 months and possibly much longer.

this is definitely a case of "where there's smoke there's fire". if there's 1 case, then there's really a helluva lot more than that.

and since viruses spread exponentially all of these measures are well worth it. controlling the rate at which it spreads has huge effects down the road compared to ignoring it. overkill is what we want here.

honestly I'm pretty impressed by how diligently the world seems to be approaching this. for once this isn't a case of "we all know what we should be doing but no one is actually doing it".

the fact that you're literally posting about arguing with a fast food worker should tell us all we need to know about how much your stance on public health should matter.

Yeah we need at least 10k deaths on American soil before this is a big deal never mind that in other countries way more people have died than here because they have had it longer. I love this bullshit thinking that acts like until we have a substantial number of deaths we should ignore this shit.

The reason why drive-thrus are for vehicles only is safety concerns, now that might be a bit overcautious but the chance of some guy walking through the drive thru and getting struck by a vehicle is there. If that happened and you were in the McDonald's drive thru you could then sue McDonald's.

Especially where having a significant number of deaths means it's too far spread to control without going into full-on militarized quarantine where people get shot for trying to leave their homes. The mortality rate on this thing is relatively low, provided care is available. 10,000 deaths means it's overwhelmed the care system and/or you've got a few hundred thousand not-yet-lethal cases out there that will become a few million by the end of next week (in many areas, infection counts are doubling every 3 days, so an order of magnitude will take about 10-11), with a body count to match.

I think hoarding TP and shit is dumb, but im fine with the overall reaction(not the TP but business closing and stuff) because it helps to curb the spread of it, which of course you don't want it to spread.

Even though a lot of things are now closed, it just means there's less people out so when I go outside(as I plan on living my life as normal as I can), its better with less people. My mom was at the airport yesterday and saw like 95% less people there than usual. Hell yeah, can't wait to fly in a week when I'm due as long as all air travel has not been suspended.

Of course I am washing my hands more often and making sure I don't get too close to other people if i can avoid it, so I am being smart when I go out. But I refuse to hole up inside like many have done.

2) Caused a huge scene and busted stuff
3) Knocked the dude's teeth out
4) Picked up the piece of paper with the rules on it and stuffed it down the guy's throat
5) Called corporate and demanded that guy gets fired
6) Started coughing all over the guy to see how much more panicked he'd get.

But many of you people think I'M the one that's overreacting.
Precious.

So I read the OP and in my opinion, the sign meant that you could go in and order food as long as its a carry-out order. Thats how restaurants that dont even have a drive-through might be operating where I am.

also, what the hell is a Steak and Shake lol.

I dont think some people understand that even when you take the deaths out of the picture (as if that wasnt bad enough), were actually going to be in something as bad as the Great Depression. This stuff is literally going to change everyones lives on this planet

We're all going to die because Youtubers say so.
