ban drive thru

[stuff352]

Since the bag issue has become an issue. I just drove by a McDonalds, a Tim Hortons and a Burger King, all had drive thrus and all had huge lines with idling cars. Should these be banned, because in most cases (unless the line is empty) it takes longer than three minutes to go through. I say we should....

Get ready for some packing in fast food restaurants then, not to mention no parking spots.

People are lazy and don't want to move there big butts out of there cars. They rather just sit in there car and wait the same amount.

It is the exact same number of cars... the only difference is that the ones in the drive thru are on. It might require a little more parking. There should also be exceptions like a coffee only drive thru at Timmies - the guy in front always has to order a toasted bagel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they are serious ban all the future ones from building a drive thru and use the space instead for parking spots.

I cant see them getting rid of current ones though.

I hate waiting in drive throughs...if there are more than a couple cars in line, its usually faster to just park and go in.

Our city is bound to look like that in the movie "Bladerunner" sooner or later.

Most Timmy's give priority to the drive thru customers, so those waiting inside in line often only have one person waiting the counter , and the drive thru will have a full crew.

I drive by a Tim Hortons, a McDonalds and a Country Style store with drive thru everyday on my way to work, and it never ceases to amaze me that a lot of times there are 10+ cars lining up in the drive thru lane but ZERO lineup inside the restaurant. I thought the original idea of drive thru was the amount of time it is supposed to save?

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, I think that if people see a line up for the drive thru's, they should park and go in instead. If there's no line up, take the drive thru route as it is a lot faster.

But seriously... at lunch times, these fast food restaurants are packed already with drive thru available. Imagine the ruckus if there is no drive thru.

You were correct, it was the environment i was hinting at. I go inside almost all the time. I also think you are right laziness is the main reason.
