A group of workers at a Texas Dairy Queen were accused of using the store to peddle methamphetamine and police said 'Operation Blizzard' shut it down.

      I was thinking the same. I knew a Burger King like this. Perhaps surprisingly, it was one of the cleaner, more well-maintained BKs I’ve visited.

      Rural? Ha! I live in a medium city, suburbs’ish, and 30 years ago I could go through the taco bell drive thru to get weed. This isn’t a new idea.

        Same. I grew up in Fort Worth and used to buy weed and LSD at the burger king drive thru. The manager was the dealer and we had code words for stuff. Whopper with extra lettuce was weed obviously. He’d ask, “how many?” to define the amount. For the acid we would say, “make sure the order is correct, I’m not making 2 (3,4,etc…) trips back here.”.

        Those were good times. Plus the dude was born with no right hand and we had all went to school together and had tons of great nick names for him like, “the one handed bandit” or, “the one handed hash slinger” or my favorite, “the handy man”. Before you think I’m an ass he’s the one who gave himself these names.

        The best thing was watching him weigh out a bag with a postal scale and roll it up all with one hand. For a dude with half the amount of usual hands he was incredibly handy. You had to hand it to him.

        Also when you left he would stick out his arm and say give me some nub. You know, instead of a fist bump.

        I remember that our KFC got busted by selling because the code was for “an extra biscuit”. I was like “who doesn’t order extra biscuits?!” Dumbest code word ever.

          Code should have been an extra large side of green beans. No one ate that nasty mush of canned green beans.

    This is pedantic but it annoys me every time I hear someone say it, let alone see it in writing: amphetamine can be plural; methamphetamine never is. Meth is an amphetamine, technically a substituted amphetamine, one of several such amphetamines.

    Back in the 90s, I was an exchange student in Australia, and there was a Pizza Hut where you could place an order for “1 stick of garlic bread” and they’d sell you weed.

    I also recall a Wienerschnitzel near my mom’s apartment in Sacramento, CA selling cocaine out the drive-thru window around the same time period.

    I used to work at a major fast food restaurant with a drive-thru. My coworker sold weed through that drive-thru.

      My stepfather knew a guy who delivered pizzas and the people who wanted him to deliver weed with the pizza requested him specifically. Dude made enough as a pizza delivery guy that he was able to buy a hella fancy sports car. Tbh, the idea was gold and I’m happy he was successful lol.

    My town had a local shawarma place get busted for cocaine smuggling. I always laughed at the thought of some new guy getting nervous.

    “Anything to drink, sir?”
    “Do you guys have any coke?”
    “ABSOLUTELY NOT! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?? GET OUT OF HERE!”

    what, are people gonna just stop doing meth because the cops made it slightly harder to get?

      By this logic, fuck it set up meth shops everywhere. Elementary schools would be fun. Maybe my bank.

        If you think that’s not already happening then I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve seen people break into town water towers and start making meth there before. Legalization with regulation is probably the safest alternative to the current war on drugs.

        I am so fucking sick of people doing this ‘by that logic’ shit, you are smarter than this or you are being deliberately obtuse.

        Either way,

          Past evidence suggests they’re not really into doing that, no matter how fucked up of a thing is happening in schools…

    My hometown had the Dairy Queen raided by the DEA back in the early 90s. They sold all sorts of drugs off of a secret menu.
