My sister and I were on our way to a funeral over the weekend. We had a 2 hour drive ahead of us, and we were running late. It was determined that we HAD to hit a drive through for breakfast, despite the time crunch. We pulled into a Dunkin Donuts and lined up for the drive through. Since it was a Saturday morning, there were at least 6 or 7 cars in front of us in line. Each car was taking close to 2 minutes to be processed. We realized that this would take about 15 minutes just to get coffee. I said "We should have gone to Tim Hortons." She sighed and said they were probably just as busy.
That's when it hit me. I have the Tim Hortons drive through programmed into my 396XT! I switched quick keys, the channel came up, and.............open channel. No drive through chatter, no tone for when a car pulls up to the speaker. Interesting...
After 30 seconds of listening just to be sure, we jumped out of line at Dunkin Donuts and drove a block down the street to Tim Hortons. The drive through was empty, and food was in our hands in about 30 seconds. We hit the thruway and made it to the funeral at the last possible second. Had we not done our drive through recon, we would have been late for sure.
Thanks Uniden. You saved the day, and breakfast!
