As my boyfriend paid for our breakfast, the girl handing his card back.. dropped it accidentally before even reaching my boyfriends hand..
My boyfriend couldn't open the door to get it since we were parked against the window. And, we couldn't reverse or move over so my solution was to wait until we get our food, then I'll go behind the car so the car behind us will know not to go forward.
- But - A staff member was nice went outside and picked it up for us. So that was nice.
Has the drive thru person ever drop money or your card? What did you do? We've had coins dropped before but we didn't go get them..

Is it common to have drive thru where you're at though?

@infatuatedbby Not at all, only McDonald's has a drive through, but I do not like their food.

I'd try but since we're pulled closely, we won't be able to open the door. You'll find lots of coins at the to go areas I bet =)

That is nice the worker came out to pick up your card for you.
The time you had to get out of your car, to get money - were there cars behind you?

@JudyEv The person who dropped it wasn't the one who picked it up though. Another staff member went out and willingly picked it up. She said said 'sorry' and that was it.

That would be frustrating to drop your card especially if theres a card in front of you or behind you. It was great that an employee went out to pick it up. Was it the same person that dropped it?

We have never experienced our cards dropping out - but coins, yes.
A different employee came out to pick up the card

I've had that happen to me a few times with my debit card, and just like in your situation, a worker went outside and picked it up for me.

@infatuatedbby Well, since they were the ones who dropped my card, it's only fitting that they should be the ones to go get it for me! LOL

Yes the employee was nice to do so and at that time it was not too crowded.

@HAPPSINGH lol...why thankfully? wouldn't it be more convenient if we had them too? People could just buy food by driving by...no need to park and wait

@infatuatedbby We use to send one of the staff out to get it. Basically they don't want the customer in case they get hit by acar.

@infatuatedbby - Sometimes you just have to let them go. I once dropped a quarter in the middle of a crosswalk of a busy intersection. I just left it.

@infatuatedbby We don't have drive through places here. Here you park your car, get out, line up and purchase your food. then you collect it! No dropping money...we don't really use card.Actually, I don't know how to use it!
