Go in around lunchtime (when it’s really busy), order food, get a table, and eat lunch while scanning for the frequencies. Make sure to use a headphone, so the staff doesn’t freak out that you’re listening in. Once you get the frequency saved, you can listen to it whenever you’re in range, which can be quite far away.\r\n\r\nSource: I used to do this. The drive through can be quite interesting. You can hear customers ask stupid questions, and the employees will crack jokes with each other.","subreddit_name":"UnethicalLifeProTips","author":"SystemFolder"},{"body":"I bought this uniden scanner.

If it's for plane spotting you can buy an handheld like the [Uniden BC75XLT](https://www.amazon.com/Uniden-Handheld-Scanner-Black-BC75XLT/dp/B00A1VSO9M). The better the line of sight, the better the signal will be.
