Looks like one of the "blue hairs" got to Dex too.  :biggrin:

Maybe she took "drive thru" literally? :biggrin: Seriously though, was she hurt?

No, nobody got hurt. She was sooo upset, and my boss tried to comfort her by saying, "Ya  know, we do have a drive thru, around the other side of the building." My boss was joking with her, and when she said that, the little old lady cried harder. My boss told her "it's just a building, thank God nobody got hurt." Luckily, nobody was sitting in  the 2 tables in front of that window. It could have been much worse.  :spooked:

I'm glad I wasn't working when it happened. My boss said they had to close the dining room, because glass flew everywhere. What a mess!  :rolleyes:

One time, when I was working at McDonald's, we had something similar happen. Those awnings in the drive thru state a 9 feet clearance for a reason. A guy drove up under one one day and you guessed it, tore the awning right off the building. One end hung up on his truck, and the other end crashed on to the pavement. It almost flew through the drive thru window.  :spooked: When it fell, it shook the whole building. Why is it that people never take in to consideration that, that stuff is posted for a reason?  :rolleyes:

Your boss is right...this time  :icon_twisted: ... the important thing is that no one was hurt. The rest of it is exactly why insurance was created. It doesn't sound like you were there, but I did get a laugh out of the mental picture of you actually being there and yelling "Jesum Crow!" when she came through the wall. :biggrin:

I had a friend who worked at a Burger King right off the interstate. 24 Hour businesses around there were always getting robbed and I think it's because they were so close to the highway. Anyway, she worked the overnight shift and two guys came in about 3 a.m., robbed them, made them strip to their underwear :spooked: and made them go in the fridge which he locked or something so they couldn't get out. They were in there until the next crew came in. I'm not sure if anybody wondered why the place was deserted or not. It was so late at night, maybe they didn't have any customers.

Can you imagine facing your co-workers the next day after spending a couple hours w/them in your underwear? :biggrin:

OMG!!! I don't think I'd be able to go back. The fear of being robbed again would be bad, but I think facing people that saw me in my underware, would be much,much worse LMAO!!!   :yes:

I probably would have LOL!!!I might have said, "That did not just happen!!" I say that a lot too. LOL!!!  :biggrin: I'm really bad when I get caught off guard. I say "Ooooh sh*t!!!" a lot. I've done that before when waiting on a customer.  :spooked: It's kind of like when Robin Williams says "Ooooh sh*t!!! in Mrs Doubtfire.

It's a department of defense and government contractor term. When someone is placed in a dangerous area to work, they earn extra money for it.

In the case of the government it would be someplace like Iraq, Northern South Korea, etc. I guess in private industry....it would be KFC considering people are driving through walls. :biggrin:

It's fairly hilly and mountainous here and we have people driving into houses fairly regular. :yes:

I guess that is like my mom would get a MILLION dollars if I am killed at school.  If I'm killed at work I am worth more than if I live to be 100! haha

We've always got somebody smashing through walls in this area.  :rolleyes: We've had elderly people take out gas pumps at the gas station.  :spooked: No explosions thank God. A couple of years ago, a guy blacked out while he was driving, and he ran though an intersection ,and smashed into a bed and breakfast, that was a historical mansion. What a mess!!  :no:

Where I used to live, a train hit a car that was sitting on the tracks, because the owner (who happened to be elderly) had fallen asleep. Luckily, it happened in the middle of town, so the train was going slower and only damaged the car before it was able to stop. The question is, why was this man taking a nap, in the middle of town, on the train tracks, mid afternoon? :spooked:

One time ,a guy on a crotch rocket, kept weaving through traffic, and somebody breaked in front of him.  :spooked: He lost control, and crashed through the double doors of an insurance agency. It decapitated him, and when he flew off, he hit the wall, and the handle bars went through his stomach, and impailed him.  :spooked: :no:

One day a gal working at Dairy Queen ,had just gotten off of work, and came flying out of the drive thru, and T boned a Corvette. It threw the Corvette on it's side, and the guy in the passenger's seat got his ear cut off.  :spooked: When will people ever learn to slow down?  :rolleyes:
