The drive thru intercom at your local fast-grease restaurant has a vehicle sensor embedded in the pavement near the speaker.

The buried wires create a magnetic field, and the steel automobile disturbs the field. When this happens, the schmuck in the restaurant hears a disturbing electronic DING in the headset, followed by the cacophony of sounds of a 1983 Plymouth Reliant piped in from the microphone outside, which is now switched on.

Now, if there were such a thing as an automobile made entirely of plastic or ceramic, this system wouldn’t work. I’ve seen pedestrians jumping up and down in front of the speaker trying to activate the intercom, but that won’t work, either. And now you know why.

Wait for a slow time. When there are no cars in line at the drive thru, the schmuck inside is expected to do other menial cleaning tasks, only to be interrupted by the irritating DING in his ear, followed by a rattletrap car and HELLO, HELLO! from the driver. Now, the sensor will be buried in the MIDDLE of the drive thru lane pavement, guaranteeing even the narrowest vehicle on four wheels will hit it. It will not be immediately in front of the speaker, foiling the efforts of many a drunken motorcyclist.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a cart from a nearby store.

Roll it down the middle of the drive thru lane, and stop in front of the speaker. The schmuck will hear the DING and greet you, or you might get the Autogreeter, which is essentially a telephone answering machine for drive thru intercom systems. Have a couple of stupid questions handy, like these:

Does the Quarter Pounder with Cheese come with cheese?

Is there anyplace else open?

Can you call the police for me? Someone stole my car!

Where’s a good place to score some cocaine?


The schmuck will eventually look up, see what you’re up to, and tell you to get the hell away. He may seem angry, but everyone with such a low-paying, monotonous job loves a good gag to break up the everyday routine.

And yes, this is a remake of an anonymous egg, which was also written by me.

what if you laid magnets around the sensors, would that fuck with it?

That’d take some powerful magnets. Better to get a Jeep or similar vehicle with lots of ground clearance and strong bumpers, and drive over the speaker and the menu board, leaving both of them dead in your path. They’re not buried very deep or embedded in much concrete so they’ll break away in a legitimate accident.

What’s so damn complicated about getting a shopping cart (trolley to an Englishman), rolling it onto the middle of the pavement in front of the drive thru speaker, and asking the person stupid questions until he figures out what you’re doing and makes you leave?

Thanks for the stars, though.

The illustration of the buried inductive loop is taken from a governmnet website about radio interference.

The picture of the shopping cart is from Technibilt, a major manufacturer of steel carts and bins used in stores and warehouses.

The writing is all mine, based on my own experiences.
