I never had the option to work kitchen instead because the roles were strictly divided and I wasnt trained in it anyway. I probably would have preferred it.
Honestly if I could have just stood in ONE PLACE and just focused on JUST up front orders or JUST drive through it wouldnt be so bad. Drive through sucked for many reasons and you touched on some but it wouldnt have been so bad if i could have just focused on JUST that but i had to at MINIMUM run back and forth between drive through and front and bag all the orders, and thats when I didnt have to do extra stuff like cleaning dining room or trays. It was the juggling tasks that killed me more than anything.

Me too, me too. Even if it was a nonstop hectic pace all day, I'd have preferred that. I think people working at In-N-Out are a bit like that.
Having an asshole boss expecting the floors and tables cleaned while "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH" is building up the timer which faults me (and risks getting me a write-up) if the transaction takes too long when there's nothing I can do to speed the up and attempts to do so may also be a write-up if the complains really fucking sucked. Also the floor not getting cleaned might be a write-up and there's also nothing I could do about that if there was a chain of "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH" waiting behind the first one.

Yeah the absolute fucking deathtrap the drivethrough timer had you in when you had to multitask was absolute hell.
