It’s insane, where I live, how literally dozens of drivers, more than half of them in huge trucks, will idle in a Chick-fil-A drive thru for 25 minutes just to avoid walking 20 feet. No wonder Americans are obese.
One of the things that legit blew my mind moving from Northern California to Texas is how many freaking drive thrus there are here. It’s wild. They are just attached to everything. I guess it’s a byproduct of land being at less of a premium.
I think it’s cultural, too. You might also notice that people drive up and down the parking lot at Walmart looking for a space just ten feet closer to the entrance. Getting out of the car and walking somewhere is anathema in places like Tx.

Last time I went for fast food, I was at the counter while the guy took 3 drive through orders before taking mine.
