Fast food- when they don't tell you your total before you drive up.

Maybe "fast coffee" doesn't necessarily qualify as "fast food", but anyway. I really like Caribou Coffee. However, I have a problem with the way they do an important part of their drive-thru business. Not one time have I placed an order in their drive-thru, have they ever given me a total before I've pulled up. Ok, sure. I'm the one doing the ordering, and the prices are right there. But I like to have them tally it up for me before I get to the window. Is that crazy? Is it too much to ask? Maybe it's because they don't ring you up as you order- they just repeat it back to you (loud enough for a helper to get the order ready), and as you pull up, they're on to the next person's order. I dunno.. does anybody else get where I'm coming from? Or is this just me, that part of society too darn lazy to do the math in my head?
