Meet the world's laziest (and least successful) restaurant robber

He didn't bother getting out of his car. The guy simply drove up to restaurant drive-thru windows and showed a gun. He drove off when employees closed their (presumably bulletproof) windows. (Orange County Register)

Jim, with your fascination with drive-thru windows, you really need to look at this:

I've actually been to this store. Very nice.

The servers should have thrown some hot coffee in his face.

How about the drive-up liquor stores I've seen in Texas? I can't believe these things are even legal.

In Ohio, the same bank drive-through has been robbed by the same man three times in less than a month. He claims to have "an explosive device," as the press phrases it. A teller at a different bank drive-through refused to give him money, so he drove away without exploding anything or getting money.

There are drive up liquor stores in Colorado and Wyoming. You can only get packaged liquor in Colorado, though. And don't freak out about that, if you bordered Utah, you would need them, too!
Did this guy REALLY break the law? He was in his own vehicle, and if he has a license for that gun..I'm just sayin! And now we all know not to do this. Besides, it was a DRIVE THROUGH! They always f*ck you at the drive through! They would have botched his order, anyway.

Boy, I could really go for an El Pollo Loco or a Carl's Jr. here in Ohio.

What a lazy ass! (although if you're robbing something that's probably a trend)

KDP, I live in PA but close to WV. Right over the border there's a drive-thru beer and liquor store. You literally drive through the middle of the warehouse, tell them what you want and they put it in your car. Talk about an In & Out!

Ok, a drive-thru liquor store is pretty common--they have those around here too. BUT a drive-thru SEX TOY store like a cited in the article--THAT'S SOMETHING.

@Tom: Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are owned by the same parent company, and the two chains are somewhat similar.

I forgot about the drive-thru peep show place southeast of Pittsburgh as well...but I have no experience with that, so you'll have to check it out for yourselves.

My local beer distributor has curbside service. You pull up in front of the store, tell them what kind of beer you want, and they put the case in your trunk.

Sadly, liquor stores are still under the control of the state (I live in PA) so there are no similar drive-thru wine or spirits stores.
