Social Anxiety

A couple months ago I had gone to McDonald’s and when I got to the window to get my food they asked me to pull up to the yellow lines because it wasn’t ready yet. I pulled up and sat there for 10 minutes waiting. Finally someone came out and asked what I had orded, she went back in, about 5 minutes later brought it out. I think they forgot about me. So I vowed to myself that I’d never pull forward at McDonald’s again. Last night we went there and they asked me to pull forward. I told the lady very nicely that I’d rather not because the last time I did they forgot about me. She said they wouldn’t forget and I said I’ll just wait here. So she went and got someone else to come over and ask me to pull forward. The lady said it’ll only take 2 minutes. I said 2 minutes isn’t that long, I’ll just wait here. I did sit there and wait. There was already someone else pulled up at the yellow lines waiting anyway. I think I screwed up their whole system because they took the person in front of me the wrong bag of food. That person was still waiting when I left. Why should anyone have to pull forward and wait while everyone behind them gets their food.  I’ve never been though any other drive thru that does that.  Usually I’m very compliant about these kinds of things and never say no when someone asks me to do something, so I felt rather good that I said no and stuck to it for once, ever if it was at a drive thru
