Should drive thru restaurants ask you to pull forward while they serve the customer behind you?
- No, itās first come, first serve.
- No, I ask for a refund and cancel my order.
- Yes, but I donāt like it.
- Yes, Iāll happily wait longer in a parking spot.
- Never really though about, I just do what they tell me.
- They donāt ask where I live.

Depends on why your order isnāt ready but theirs is
Big order? Yea thatās on you
Regular meat and potato order? Sounds like they are making you suffer for their failure

I agree totally, the original idea is that while your sitting there waiting on your food, thereās a timer going. The longer you sit there, the lower performance rating that store gets. By pulling forward, your giving them a better rating for making you wait longer.
I feel like if you plan to order everything on the menu, you should probably not do that in the drive thru.

Iām just curious what others views on it are.
Personally, itās a huge pet peeve of mine however, Iāve recently discovered itās not the waiting that bothers me, itās them asking me to do something I donāt want to do.
COVID has forced many places to offer curbside. I usually choose this option as I can sit there for an unlimited amount of time and even lose track of time.

Honestly Iāve become a lot more fond of ordering through apps instead of having to explain to drive thru workers and having a chance of it being heard wrong. I usually donāt mind pulling forward

I always give fast food wage slaves the benefit of the doubt and do everything I can to make their lives easier because I know how much bullshit they have to put up with. If you need to put a selfish spin on it to get motivated though I can say I always get good treatment and free shit from not complaining.

The thing that annoys me is when you roll up to a McDonaldās at 3am, no other car around
And you have to wait 10 minutes for them to cook only enough fries for what you order
I get the idea, fresh=good
But just actively not having fries on hand and making customers ALWAYS wait, doesnāt sit well with me
I would understand if it was 30 minutes before they switch to breakfast or w/e but 2 hours before hand and they just stop having any food actually ready? Disappoint
I tend to be annoyed at most service outside of accepted circadian rhythms
I get good treatment and free shit for being polite when I have to complain.
Make it clear itās not them personally, try not to rant, just say what is not right.

Iāve been in the fast food business, it does suck. In my personal experience, every job Iāve had equally sucked the same just in a different way. I chose to get out of fast food because whiny customers wasnāt my thing.
They really do need to be paid more but the only thatāll ever happen is if the jobs become harder to staff.
Iāve never experienced this but I do try to be civil to the people handling my food.
Save the rants for Yelp to avoid any āextraāsā on your burger.

Hey @Pilgrimsmaster
(or anyone knowledgeable)
You mentioned that what Iām looking for is a flip flop relay,
After immediately wondering if you were fucking with me I googled it, and there are several discussions about flip flop vs latching, and now Iām confused on which one I actually want
Any input?
Have you ever watched āFalling Downā ?

I believe for your use youāre more likely to want a flip-flop relay over a latching
A flip flop should alternate outputs upon each activation, but a latching would need seperate inputs for set and reset
So if you want to be able to easily scan your implant to toggle lock and unlock without having to make the reader capable of switching between activating the set or reset pins a flip flop would be easier
Though, I will add that Iāve never personally used either before

So the flip flop remembers itās posistion even with power removed?
I thought that was latching, discombobulated lol
Iāll look into latching
Haha, should I read that as I am NOT knowledgeable 
Iām not an expert but here is my understanding
Flip Flops are more power hungry
Flip Flops are less glitchy
Flip Flops are slower
I meant to say
(Or anyone else knowledgable)
Thatās my bad

It may depend on the style of relay, but I believe most of both flip flops and latching relays use the magnets to toggle a physically bistable switch, so both should stay in the position you left it in when all power is removed, based on my understanding

Cool cool,
Another idea occurred to me,
Itās kinda stupid, but also kinda so stupidly simple itās brilliant
What if instead of trying to make a switching relay workā¦
I just use 2 xACv2, one rigged to lock and one to unlock
lol

Not stupid at all, I has been mentioned / suggested previously, If you can afford the battery Drain then it is simple option
Hereās the Specs for your calcs
The xAC V1= 11mA Idle 48mA Operating
The xAC V2= 60mA Idle 100mA Operating
