getting takeout trick
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 5:34 pm
hey there, suzy here. I am 38, lobpi, had Mod Quad in January with great success. One of my life long dreams was to actually go through a fast food take out drive through and make the transactions with my left arm instead of undoing my seatbelt, turning and doing everything with righty (the show off!). So now I can, but there is a hitch.
While I can give the cashier my money or card and can get the food with my left arm; I cannot receive any change in coins because I still can't get my left hand completely over to catch the coins in my palm so there they go onto the pavement.
Undaunted however I have come up with a silly solution. I sew for a hobby and so have made a little drawstring bag with a wide opening which I simply dangle out the window towards the non-plused cashier who then drops dollars and coins into and I leave victorious! A small tin, cup, or tuperware container work equally as well.
