(It takes the pain out of those 7 a.m. practices)!  I was in the van with the boys ordering the usual, which of course is not a small order, but with 6 younger ones, I can&#8217;t just leave them in the van  in the cold and run in&#8230;  and that is what a drive thru is for!<\/p>\n<p>The guy at the window asked me that that next time would I come in and order as it slows down their line.  I explained that no I couldn&#8217;t as I have little ones in the car.  He really did not care.  I was SO annoyed.  If you are worried about your timing, then make it your written policy to not serve the bagels thru the drive thru.  But I knew that a family of 4 wouldn&#8217;t get asked to come in for their bagels&#8230;so don&#8217;t discriminate against a larger family.<\/p>\n<p>McDonalds on the other hand, gave me a business card and told me that next time wanted a big order of say chicken nuggets, call five minutes before and they would have it ready, thus me avoiding to wait with the kids!  Thanks McD for your thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tradition in our house is a quick stop at Tim Horton&#8217;s (our Canadian coffee spot) for a bagel and hot chocolate on our way to hockey.
