Drive-Thru Worker Shocked After Customer’s Bizarre Restroom Moment in Line
NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS — What started as a routine shift at a local fast-food drive-thru quickly turned into a story employees won’t soon forget after a customer made an unforgettable — and deeply unpleasant — pit stop.
‘I’m Just Going to the Bathroom’
According to the worker, the incident began like any other order. A car pulled up to the speaker box, and after a brief pause, the employee asked if they were ready to order. The customer replied casually, “In a minute, I’m just going to the bathroom.”
At first, the worker assumed the customer meant he would leave his car to use the restaurant’s restroom. But what happened next left everyone stunned.
The Moment Everyone Realized
“I looked out the window expecting to see him get out,” the employee recounted. “Instead, he was still in the driver’s seat — facing forward, gripping the steering wheel — and clearly, well… going to the bathroom right there.”
The situation grew worse when coworkers across the restaurant, who shared the same drive-thru intercom system, also overheard the entire exchange. “The look of horror on my face was soon mirrored by everyone else,” the worker said.
Quick Service for the Wrong Reasons
The customer eventually finished his “business,” placed his food order, and sped off within a minute — leaving behind a stench that outlasted his visit. “He was gone quickly, but the smell he left behind lingered much longer,” the employee said.
While drive-thru workers often encounter odd requests and rude customers, this incident stands out as one of the most shocking and downright unhygienic moments on record.
