Maybe I've just become exceedingly claustrophobic, but I tend to avoid drive-thru service. I'd rather go in to a restaurant and pick something up. I suppose if I lived in a sketchy area I might not want to go inside, either.
I'll hit the pharmacy drive-thru when it is quiet -- but I don't like having my car blocked in.
I guess you have to wonder, what is the worst the guy could have done to your car? Is it worth it?
Is even pepper spray worth it, if you have to roll down the window and expose yourself to someone in a rage who is relying on cans for cash? Probably not.
I could certainly understand intervening if it looked like he was going to physically hurt someone else (that's a personal choice and totally fact dependent). But remember, he could be armed, and you could end up being like the victims on the tri-met train in Portland.
Can/should/must, right?
