When I was growing up in suburban Chicago, you could walk right up to the deserted drive-thru window of Dunkin’ Donuts (still known by its full name back then) on foot anytime after 11 p.m., politely explain to the employee that it was someone in your party’s birthday, and without any sort of verification to confirm that fact (which was not true), you’d reliably be handed an oversize sack of free doughnuts, because the shop didn’t want to sell the stale ones anymore by that time of night anyway. After accepting this bounty, the entire group of us would openly rejoice in front of the bored-looking Dunkin’ employee and tear into the donuts right on the curb, flush with victory. The donuts weren’t那陈旧，尽管我们永远不会承认他们是这样。
然后我们所有人都长大了，直通车变成了完全实用的，而不是星期五晚上的目的地。如果我们在成年后光顾了Dunkin的直通车，那主要是在日常工作中享用咖啡。现在，直通车道承担着前所未有的必要性负担。由于许多快餐室关闭了，或者与顾客犹豫不决地使用它们，直通车已成为食物的接送点，我们可能只会直接渡过我们家。目前，直通车并不想起一场令人兴奋的公路旅行或与一群亲密朋友一起享受的最便宜的冒险。因此，很高兴回想一下您在直通车道上最有趣的乐趣。你们中的任何一个曾经通过演讲者要求其他重要的舞会，或者拉通，发现您的饭菜已经由您前面的仁慈汽车支付了吗？或者 - 戈德禁止的 - 您是那些无法忍受的驾车恶作剧者之一，他们会弹吉他，唱歌或打扮成小丑，在拾音窗口吓affersee雇员吗？
