This might be even worse because a lot of drive thru places will drastically deprioritize service for in-store customers because they worry the city might start cracking down on them if they do become a problem for traffic.

The Carbucks in St. Paul on Snelling snarled rush hour traffic at a major intersection and caused multiple incidents of collisions and drivers beaching their vehicles, even after they hired off-duty police to direct traffic and got hit by fines. Drive thru closed at some point after staff went on strike over police presence, not sure if ever reopened.

This is absolutely the case at Chick-Fil-As I've found. All the staff is focused on the drive through and a token kid is manning the inside mostly for GrubHub or UberEats pickups. It's to the point that anytime there's a new Chick-Fil-A opening the primary concern is "where will the drive thru traffic go?"

Yeah, a local suburb just denied CFA a zoning variance to build a new store on a main street specifically citing the impact on traffic.

Meanwhile another suburb put in a raising canes (so loving overrated) that faces away from the main street and has a grocery store-sized lot for their dumb drive through line to snake through that keeps it off the street. So this is apparently A Thing that restaurants are taking into account with their design.

Edit: Also I do not loving understand waiting in a 30 minute line for CFA's mediocre bullshit, but that's neither here nor there.

i disagree with this 100%, the food is too expensive for the amount you get. if the sandwiches were like 2 bucks cheaper, maybe.

That one wasn’t one of mine. This one was thievery, alcoholism, using his roommate’s closet as a urinal, trashing an on-post hotel room to the point the garrison CSM called me (dude’s PL) personally, walking out of a 45-day extra duty 3 days in (after telling our battalion CSM to go gently caress himself), and probably other stuff I’m forgetting.

I've seen very fast, but inside a week is either when someone is in their first 180 days in service (like kicked out of boot camp) or when they elect not to use most to their legal rights, like waiving legal reviews, waiving appointments/entitlements, etc. I've seen the latter a time or two when someone wants themself gone ASAP and the military wants someone gone ASAP.

Most of the time that it takes a "long" time to chapter someone, it's because the commander or NCOs are lazy or bad at writing and filing paperwork. The other times that it takes forever are either when medical community tells command to slow the gently caress down due to legitimate injuries/issues/ongoing treatment with the service member or when lawyers are fighting it on some grounds or other, either fighting to stay in or fighting to differently adjudicate something before they leave.

The other extremely long form of chapter is if someone is missing or otherwise held, such that the military cannot get to them. Like if a guy runs off and gets arrested and imprisoned in Mexico or something, you can't drop them if they would like to return but can't.

This special counsel appears to be happy enough doing the whole "Biden senile" bit after interviewing him the in the days right after the Hamas attack on Israel. Absolutely true that he should probably know the year he stopped being VP and how that coincided with Beau's death.

Comey report poo poo, but probably way too early for people to remember it (funny enough) come election time. Though maybe this forces the campaign to actually put Biden out there for interviews and such.

Edit: basically this WH view

Because all Special Counsels have to be Republicans to be Just and Fair, Garland decided to appoint a Federalist Society Donnie appointee to run the thing and he seeded it full of hit-pieces when Biden forgot poo poo that basically everyone else interviewed did too. Comey poo poo again.

No, you are missing the point - Biden basically told them: "If I have anything, please take it and dispose of it properly"

He didn't pull a Trump. Trump actively tried to hide and keep classified intel. Biden didn't.

Nah BAF is right on that. Regular schmuck doing the stuff Biden did (retaining stuff, telling a ghostwriter classified poo poo without showing them the documents) would probably get prosecuted. There's mostly been a bigwig de facto exception in place because they just have way more documents and poo poo. That exception does require you to go "oh poo poo, here you go, feel free to search my everything for more", but there's no real "oh poo poo" exception to classified document prosecution!

I'm just pissed that the general public thinks only one candidate has a poobrain and the special counsel decided to feed into it by being a hack:

Chaptered is the legal and paperwork process for "GTFO, you're done". The details of which paperwork and how it's filed determine a lot of other things later down the road but the immediate impact is "Your services here are no longer needed turn in your equipment the guards will escort you out."

Of course sometimes the process takes months, sometimes you piss off the right people and it takes less than a week like above.

Is that like a dishonorable discharge? I'm entirely unfamiliar with these things, beyond hearing about them on TV or whatever, so I'm curious.

No, a dishonorable discharge comes with a loss of all veterans benefits and is generally viewed as the equivalent of a felony conviction and is generally a punishment given after a court martial conviction.

Being chaptered out is an administrative action and while loss of benefits often comes with, it's not as bad.

Easy there, I'm just saying that it's dumb that GS-12 Schmuckatelli would get fired/arrested/probation/jail for what Biden did, while he would be in turboprison forever for what Trump did. Classification rules are absolutely hopeless, but line-level workers get them thrown at their head and politicians don't.

I personally prefer this option, where politician goes "oh gently caress" and turns it all over, then that's that. Not this shitbag politically-connected fucko putting together a hackjob of a report. And this isn't even in the same ballpark as the Donnie stuff, which makes the donniepost very funny.
