Reminds me of the last time I was in Texas and somebody called the cops on me because I didn’t have a car

That’s why I typically bring 2 cars when I go to Texas.

I think it says a lot about Texas that you aren’t the first person who told me they had the cops called on them for not having a car there.
My cousin went there as a foreign exchange student, and she lived a mile away from the town center. So she walked, cause it’s less than 20 minutes.
Then a cop car stopped beside her. First they were friendly, asking if her car broke down. But when she said she doesn’t have a car, and is walking, they actually took her in for questioning.

Don’t they need to charge her with something in order to do that?

I’m sure it’s a safety thing. You get hit by a car going through drive through it’s probably the fast food company’s liability.

I know it’s more expensive but this is why I always use the Uber black option.

I dunno. I get plenty of drugs from Uber drivers and there’s less paperwork and they deliver them right to me. . It’s not a terrible alternative really.

We do have drive-through restaurants and even some drive-in supermarkets in the center of cities. I just missed my train yesterday because the bus got stuck in traffic. I really hate how car-brained my country is (honorable mentions to exceptions: Hradec Králové, Pardubice and the other few towns in the Elbe lowland that have embraced bike infrastructure to about the standards of an average German town)

Bike infrastructure in a town? My province just made it illegal for any municipality nearly anywhere to build a bike lane.
