Rules to proper drive thru etiquette:
1) If your window doesn't go down, don't use the drive thru. The car window and the drive thru work hand in hand. One works very well with the other. Opening doors in the drive thru is inefficient and quite frankly threatening (depending on your neighborhood, car type, style of dress, current song on radio, etc).
2) If you're buying more than just food, things like calendars, toys, promotional items, don't use the drive thru. Think of the drive thru as a prostitute at a seaport, get in and get out. No lingering, sampling the wares. Get food, get going.
3) If you're not sure what you want, don't use drive thru. Go inside, peruse the menu, see what fancies your delight. But don't make me sit behind you as you stare at fast food menu that has changed minimally in the last 15 years.
4) If you're buying for the office, don't use drive thru. It just isn't fair to the people who are using the drive thru for it's intended purpose which is quick orders--get in and get out. You office lunch purchasing departments are being lazy. 'I don't want to carry all that food'. Is your office coming down to your car to eat? No? Then the food will need to get to the eaters now won't it?
5) Exact change is great unless you are already at the cashier's window. At that point, just give them the dollars and get your change. The time wasted as you search for that which should have been in your hand already is longer than the time it would take for your fast food service professional to provide you with change.

Yeah, just don't understand the lack of consideration by some folks sometimes.
