alright I'm applying to all starbucks in idaho and I'm expecting to get a horse or a cow at the drive through window.

We got 3 horsies that tried to come in DT but our store manager wasn’t having it. He was worried about if the horses got spooked a car (or have the animal injured) would get damaged. Or worse the rider thrown off and trampled.

You in Texas? If so that’s the only reason I would want to work In A drive thru. Just for the horse

Same. Its always just Karen's in cars here in CA. I would jump for joy if someone rode their horse through my drive thru lol.

I feel like customers are lowkey competing in this sub to see who has to coolest animal 😂
rufotris [OP] 12 points 2y ago
I have had this pic for about a month and only recently joined this sub and thought oh perfect I have something for this trend haha.

Ope, that’s illegal where I’m from lol. We’re not allowed to let any “non-motorized” vehicles through for safety purposes. I can’t imagine the clean up lol
rufotris [OP] 15 points 2y ago
Same here but they just showed up at the window cause they couldn’t trigger the box and it was slow and we had no idea they were there haha. I told her not again in the future in a nice way and we all had some laughs and they took pics and we took pics. Somewhere out there posted online is a picture of them ordering from on the horses I’m sure. And well trained horses like theirs don’t just poop anywhere so that wasn’t a real worry and they did not make a mess anywhere so it was just a good laugh of a time

I love that so much! I’m just glad it was a good experience and you guys weren’t yelled at or anything.
rufotris [OP] 5 points 2y ago
I was the shift lead and as long as none of you tell my DM it should be cool lolz :p

Back when I used to do things, I used to go to this car meet. Every Wednesday in this plaza with dunkin, BK and taco bell, all have drive thru. Sometimes if it's cold the folks pile up in one car to go through drive thru. Other times they just walk through. The employees didn't care.

the lighting coming in thru ur window is so pretty it makes this look like a weird renaissance painting
rufotris [OP] 3 points 2y ago
We have an amazing view across the street of a large field and trees and it gets really foggy and the light plays with the trees and makes long shadows in the fog! It can be very beautiful

I remember begging for drive through because I loved the challenge of needing speed + effective communication skills....this would have thrown me off
rufotris [OP] 3 points 2y ago
It was slow and we had no idea they were there, out of nowhere my window partner screamed and jumped then started laughing. It only took seconds for us all to be at the window talking to them. They tried to order at the box but for obvious reasons the horses didn’t trigger the sensors so we had no idea they were there until at the window. It was pretty funny overall and she asked if it was ok and I said technically no for the safety of them and the horses maybe not do it in the future but thanx for the pics and lolz!

Does this happen often?
rufotris [OP] 3 points 2y ago
Only the once. We are close to an old horse track and near many different horse fields etc
