This stuff is not only annoying, but it raises the cost of doing business, which is ultimately passed onto the consumer.
Thousands of CA folks sit for 1/2 hr per day in the Drive-up at In-and-Out, or Starbucks... (They LOVE their cars, as often there is no line inside, and the weather is PERFECT for a stroll from the parking lot ... much different than those of us living in Rain and Snow yet still parking.... & venturing inside so we save fuel and clouds of emissions, and to get a little exercise).
Just another CA 'Thing' ... and something you can calculate into your CA retirement 'experience'

Right...no one in California walks...I'll have to remember that next time I go for my daily walk, thanks so much for setting me straight on that
I never could understand why people sit in long lines at drive up's instead of walking in.
Sometimes it's because they have their jammies on (yes I have done that ) in other cases because they have kids with them and it's a PITA to get 2 or 3 kids out of car seats just to walk inside a fast food joint and order food, in other cases it might be mobility issues. I fail to see why it's a big deal though
One REALLY BIG DEAL C-A-R-B
Thanks CA
More Californication spread around the USA. Delightful!
and the USA is stuck with trashy detuned cars the WW auto companies could not sell in any other country.
Fun!
I need to get some Jammies... and join the party.
I have no idea what that was all about but it might be wise for you to walk away from the computer for a few minutes
I'd get the heck out of this Communist party tax tax tax too If I wasn't so old and established. You think it's bad now the governor candidate Newsom thats expected to win will make this place unlivable.
