In this day to day, dog eat dog, check to check, double word double life-do we ever stop to think how fast we are going and why does it have to be SO fast? My personal opinion is that one source of all this entitlement to get things "NOW" are drive thru service. Yes, I said drive thru service.
Why do we go through a drive thru? Lets examine that for a moment.
1. Dont want to go inside
2. Too lazy to go inside
3. Want it FAST!
4. Want it FASTER than going inside!
5. I think you are getting the point.
What has happned to our United States of the fast and furious? The overwhelming need to get it done fast and now! I do of course go to the drive thru at most places. However, being in the type of work I am in, I would rather wait than have my purchase done so fast that quality was taken away from it. Take or instance going to the bank. I hope no one out there goes through the drive thru wanting faster service at a bank. Are you serious? Do you want that teller to go so fast that a mistake might be made and your money is totally messed up? Heaven forbid! If you were looking for fast service, you gave up your right to efficient service.
This mentality goes for everything we do in life. We are such a nation of get it done yesterday thinking we have lost the need for quality. Oh yes we WANT quality, but if I can get it faster, I will give up my quality.
Take a moment children. Walk into Starbucks. Park in the back last space of Wal Mart. Take a little time to look around you. Before you know it, you are 40+ and you wonder where it all went. What did I miss? Life only comes around once.
