What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

I was refused service at a Wendy's drive-thru in California because I didn't have a vehicle. Apparently drive-thru doesn't mean walk-up. When I showed the young lady the vehicle I was driving (Volvo VN660 with 48 foot reefer trailer) and offered to attempt to drive-thru, she changed her mind, and served me.

That's barely believable!!! Don't mean your not taking the truck through but that she wouldn't serve you as a walking customer. Where on earth did that rule spring from?

It would certainly be illegal over here--a case of blatant walkism, a dastardly discrimination.
Report her to your local MP.

Well I don't think they have MPs in Cali. And I'm British living in Canada so not much point in screaming "I pay my taxes", but she did eventually serve me. I don't think she ever did see the funny side of driving a semi through a drive-thru.

Where I come from,no drive through window will serve a walking customer.

I think it's a liability issue. Drivers don't expect to see a pedestrian in a drive thru lane.

Then why can't they have a walk up window that doesn't hinder traffic flow?

Means another dedicated employee on shift. Increased operating costs.

How about this solution?

 

[scifan57]

Designing walk up windows for drive through restaurants.

 

[Kaykaykay]

If you can walk up outside, you can walk up inside.

They don't serve walk-ups because they're liable if you're run over by a drive-thru customer. Some drive-thrus have signs actually saying they don't serve pedestrians because of that.

Some fast food restaurants close their seating area at night but keep the drive through open.

I could have made it a lot easier. If I'd driven through the drive-thru, the restaurant would have been open (like a sardine can).
