What's the point of fast food restaurants when they make you park in the drive..

this isn't common sense??

I figure it lets them "park" one car while they prepare something that is not pre made and serve the next cars in line at the same time...

Stop ordering 'specialty items' and get 'cher burger fries and coke like rest of us... the funnel only works when america works the system.

No tomatos really slows me down. Get the frick out of my way.

There is a timer in many restaurants that reports how long a vehicle has been waiting at the window. Sometimes the restaurant will get you to pull up so that this timer will be low, making their service seem better than it is.

Have you ever tea bagged a cheeseburger??? It's not a quick and easy process

Because they re graded on how fast they get you through....not served

When I worked at Burger King in high school, there was a timer that started the minute someone drove up to the menu/speaker, and stopped when the car left the last window. Apparently managers got penalized in some way if the timer average was above a certain amount, so making people pull up and park was an effective way of quickly stopping the timer before the customers got their food.

#1) don't order a huge sack of food at the drive thru. Go inside if they are open.

#2) If you order something they have to cook for 7-8 minutes and the people behind you have 30 second burgers, why not handle the other orders while yours cooks? Move up and park.

Yeah. They should have had you on the way in 90 seconds.
