Madison (WI) may ban restaurant drive-throughs in effort to combat global warming!

[HAL 9000 96]

Heck if anything people should be freakin happy... the way the economy is going it will drive revenue higher inside the restaurants themselves as people tend to consume more when they have the menu and the sensory stimulants (olfactory) from all that fat and sugar in the fast food kitchens. Keep at it folks...

They must be monitoring this site because I have mentioned this on at least 2 occasions. Way to go Madison!

I have heard (from people who've lived there as well) that it is a delightful and fun place to live!

you're right. the place is loaded with college kids and drunks and a combination of the two. that was pretty fun.

but they are pretty destructive politically.

They seem to be doing quite well, being a state capital and all.

wow that is like killing off the small business that give this service that has about 90 percent of their customers as drive thru

Maybe that is the real agenda here.... to destroy business.

There aren't any businesses like that in Madison, WI. It's all big chains. I have seen that type of thing here in San Diego, but it definitely doesn't exist there.

Interesting. A college town that only has big chains??

PS I have never seen so many drive-thrus as I see in my neighborhood. It's really shocking! I refuse to go through one. I mean seriously, how lazy can you get? If you're going to be eating whatever grease bomb your chain-restaurant of choice is serving, maybe you should get out of your car to retrieve it, at least.

Only big chains for drive-thrus. In the Midwest (or at least in MN and WI) independent businesses don't usually feature drive-thrus. Most independent businesses expect that most people have legs.

I don't use drive throughs because I've seen they tend to have their worst people working those.

They do have Gino's... nice memory of my dad taking me to dinner one time when we were on a family trip through the area.

I don't use them b/c I avoid fast food like the plague. But when there is no other option, I realize that the drive thru takes longer than going inside.
