Say what you mean...
Employee: Welcome to Chick-fil-A, how may I take your order?
Luke: I don't know, how do you usually take them? Listening to what I tell you and then punching the appropriate buttons on your little computer seems fine to me.
Employee: *silence*

Thou art charged first to get ye an ancient sheet of Egyptian papyrus. Then, I charge you to find a rare, yellow tipped African cookoo bird and prick it's toe with the point of a sewing needle. It shall not, however, be any ordinary needle. This needle must be new, having seen no thread nor punctured any fabric. You shall take this needle to Mustafa Zimbabwey, a wise Ethiopian witch doctor and have him bless it. At this time you will need to collect just enough of the cookoo's blood to effectively write down said order. Then, you shall find for yourself a feather from the head dress of an old Cherokee chief. Thou shalt then widdle thine head dress feather into a quill pen. You shall therefore dip thine Cherokee chief head dress feather quill pen into the blood of the rare cookoo and upon doing so, stain the order in Latin and in perfect caligraphy on to the ancient sheet of Egyptian papyrus. Upon completion of the staining of blood, thoust art commanded to roll up thine parchment and seal it with the official seal of King Henry VIII. The order will then be delivered by the restaraunt manager personally to the flipper of the burgers. This is how thou shalt take my order. Any deviation from said plan will result in the immediate withdrawal of my money and the departure to the restaraunt down the street.

I wonder if this was an outsourced order taker with different regionalisms.

Actually, you could do that. You pull up to the window. Yoseph Patel in India gets a ring in his headset. He answers and keys an order into a computer which is read by Scott Walters 10 feet away on the other side of the wall who fills the order. :)

McDonald's already does this for some of its drive-throughs, except I think the order-takers are in Colorado (they didn't want to chance the combination of heavy accents and shitty intercoms, I guess).
