Ever have a sleeping baby and a toddler in the car? Like many things, it’s not the technology (meaning the restaurant with a couple holes in the side) that is inherently bad, it is the systems around it. I can imagine good drive throughs. (Dropping into Obama voice mayo pete style) A drive through where no one would have to pull up and wait for an employee to run across the parking lot. A drive though where technology could bring many people their food at once, without having to make teenagers roller skate it to you like some kind of 1950s Amish. A drive through where the food wasn’t laxative.
