Is it locked?
Drives from two blocks away back, just to make sure the gate is locked.
It worked in Blazing Saddles, it will work here.
Someone go back and get a shitload of dimes!
My favorite line in the movie. One of the reasons I was drawn to the film industry.
Slim Pickens’ delivery is ridiculously funny
I just rewatched the scene on YouTube. It will never get old.
Haha. Good one.
Gosh I hope not. He'd have to sit there and wait for the locksmith to show up and they're worse than cable guys!
I chuckled.
Haha. Good question.
Someone could still crawl over the top.
I find myself leaning to the side to talk around the side of the plexiglass. Unconscious habit to connect better with people, I guess.
Me and a million others 👍
Being human for the win!
I find it hard to talk through the plexiglass and good luck adding in masks to the equation and talking through it
Omg, right. Try to pick up a prescription and give your birthdate thru the plexiglass. You have to shout and use hand signals
I detest those barriers.
This reminds me of the toll booth in "Blazing Saddles"

Apparently I need to watch this entire film immediately.
Haha. Hilarious. I forgot about that scene.
I hate this plexiglass "protection" with a passion because I rely heavily on reading lips when talking to people at the stores. When they have that shield up, there are a lot of reflections on the shield, especially light from the ceiling so I had to move around until I can see the person's lips.
Sometimes I had to move around a lot, making myself look like an idiot in the process and telling them I can't read their lips, has failed because they'd be busy staring at me (or saying something that I can't see due to the reflection) and doing nothing about it.
This was at the beginning so whenever I come across a shield, I immediately tell them I'm deaf and then I ask for a piece of paper so we both can communicate on that to avoid the struggle.
Now most places don't have the shield anymore so now I don't have to act like a retard.
Thanks for explaining your experience. I am glad those barriers are gone, mostly. The whole thing was so retarded and annoying to those of us with good hearing. I can't imagine how it would be with poor hearing. Well, now I can. Thanks for sharing.

So many of those have finally been removed around here lately.
They replaced the plexiglass at my doctor's office and installed two thicknesses of bullet proof glass. I wonder if they are worried about something,
They should be.....
Ahhhh. The same guy that blocks Pirate Bay.
plexi sucks though, yo've got to use lexan.
Reminds me of how the hypnotized participants act on stage when they fully believe a ridiculous premise.
This plexiglass barrier is for your safety and ours.
It's wonderful! See how much we care? Now, let's forget all that nonsense about having real human to human contact, ok?
I love hearing your factual explanation. Thanks.
Exactly
