Employee logic.

The logic that employees use to defend their managers' decisions when they don't have all the knowledge to do so.

"Sir, I can't serve you in the drive thru unless you're in a car."

"Why not?"

"Because it's a DRIVE thru."

"So what?"

"It's just not safe, sir."

"Cars don't go through drive thrus at fifty miles per hour, dude. What's so dangerous about it?"

"It's just not safe."

"How do you sweep up all this trash out here? Do you have a machine that does it?"

"Sir, please."

"Or is it that Taco Bell employees are highly trained at dodging slow-moving cars?"

"Sir, I'll have to ask you to order inside."

"But the dining room is closed"

"Well, you'll have to come back when it's open."

???

Police use the same logic to enforce laws they don't understand. You can't blame them because most cops just aren't smart enough to be lawyers.
