I promise that the workers don't give a shit. They're not paid enough to care.
But they're being recorded 24/7 and if management sees them serving people who do not have cars in the drive thru, it'll be someone's ass.
Back in the day, cameras pretty much only existed for the cash register and entry/exit areas. Now, they need to put in laws to keep the companies from installing cameras in bathrooms... That shit is fucking everywhere.
The corpos at the top are mandating that anyone in the drive thru must meet a minimum requirement of a "vehicle" which cars and bikes are (at least in most places), but you, on foot, are not.
This is just them trying to avoid getting sued because you were standing in the drive thru waiting for food and some inattentive fuck pulls in after you've ordered and runs you down. It's really fucking stupid.
The idea that I think they were originally thinking is that people who are walking should go inside where they are reasonably safe from being run over to order/pick up/eat, then they started to keep the drive thru open later than the dining area, and here we are.
I get that they need to clean and whatnot, so they want to close the dining area, and that's fine, but close the dining area and leave the counter open so people can walk in and get take out FFS. It's basically just one strip of flooring that customers will walk into and out from while the seating area is closed, so not a big deal to run a mop over it and go home after closing time.
But nobody said corpos made sense.
Oh yeah they're just waiting for their shift to end.
But overall, I'd rather have my statistic be somewhere that doesn't have a drive thru in the first place.
