We Are Human

Manifesto Point #2-b:

We Are Human!

I know this may come as a shock to most of you (though I'm not sure why), but we are only human.

This means that we are not drive-thru coffee dispensing machines. When we make small talk, it would be nice if you'd answer instead of ignoring us.

We are not contortionists, or related to Mr. Fantastic. When you drive through, pull all the way up to the window, and pull close. Hundreds of other people manage just fine everyday, I'm not sure why some of you just can't get it. We cannot bend out our window, around your windshield, and through your window to hand you your beverage. Would it be really cool? Yeah. Can we do it? Hell no. We also cannot stretch across the entire lane to hand you your coffee. (This is the Mr. Fantastic angle.) The lane is very wide for very wide vehicles. Your little bitty car does not qualify. We shouldn't have to climb out the window.

Of course, if most of you would actually reach out the window for your drink, it just might help. Sticking just your hand out the window does not qualify. If you are all the way across the lane, and you don't reach your arm out the window, don't glare at us if your drink is almost fumbled in passing. We can only reach so far. We are doing everything we can, it wouldn't hurt you to make an effort.

It also means that we do make mistakes, we also have bad days, and we do misunderstand spoken words. (I know you are all perfect and this never happens to you right?) Have a little patience for your fellow man.
