Recently, one of my housemates and I drove past the Checkers at 14th Street and Maryland Avenue NE, and I noticed that it was boarded up. Considering there were a couple of crime-related incidents there in the past, I figured that either the shop was closing up for good or they decided to board up the walk-up area to prevent further incidents.
I was wrong either way, as evidenced by the photo above. That is the Checkers in question, and yes that is a blue SUV in the walk-up area. I guess they took the meaning of “drive thru” literally. Color me amused when I found the picture on Failblog, a site in the same vein as I Can Has Cheezburger. It’s one of my new favorite sites to peek in on occasionally.

Wow, talk about drive up service! Definitely one of those moments I’d love to see on video if someone taped it.

Hahaha! Thanks for the laugh. Reminds me of the time I, err, completely overestimated the drive-thru myself. 0=) At least I didn’t crash into the Carl’s Jr., I just ended up making a round trip around the establishment. I did get a laugh from the guy who handed me my food though.
