I think I know what shop that was. My answer was, "Presumably the food was not ready to be given to me until 4 minutes and 10 seconds had elapsed. They did not tell me why it took so long to prepare my order, and they did not apologize for the delay. I can not think of any reason why the food was not given to me unless it wasn't ready. When I received it, it was very hot as though it was freshly prepared."
I even got a follow-up from the editor to confirm that the timing was correct, and I informed the editor that I used both elapsed time on my watch, and a stop watch on my cell phone.
I have to say, that to ask me to explain what was going on behind the scenes at a fast food restaurant when I am at the drive-through window is illogical.
