Can Someone Take My Order???

So I was meeting a friend for lunch this past Sunday, and I was waiting for her in the back of a parking lot so she could find me. This parking lot happened to be located behind a Chick-fil-a. Now, we all know Chick-fil-a is not open on Sundays....well I thought we all knew this.

So the Chick-fil-a parking lot is empty. The Chick-fil-a van is parked in the drive thru line, just past the menu/speaker. Well, I looked over at one point, and there are 2 cars behind the van in the drive thru, the first one lined up with the speaker. I thought this was odd, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt - maybe they were trying to do an inconspicuous drug deal and that seemed like a good place to them.

No one got out of the cars, though, and the cars didn't move. So if they were doing a little 'sharing of goods', they did a really good job of being secretive.

So the cars, sat there for a few minutes, and then I looked over and the 2nd car backed out and left. There was now only 1 car...still sitting there. It sat there for at least 10 minutes after the alleged drug deal, which makes me think there was no drug deal.

So, ok, maybe everyone on the planet doesn't know Chick-fil-a is closed on Sunday. (I looked at the license plate of car #2, though, and it was a SC plate, so they really should know. If they were from up north or something, I probably could have understood.) But, if you were in a drive thru line, how long would you wait for someone to say 'Welcome to ______, can I take your order?' More than 20 minutes? Because they did.
