I love me a drive thru when I'm so exhausted I don't want to get out of the car. Car has comfy seats and HVAC. Normally I do prefer going in to get the order faster though.

Nastybucks. Just throw your K cup in with some creamer.

Sometimes the drive through is just as fast as going inside. I’ve been at a mcD’s where I went in cause the line looked like this but I ended up waiting 20 mins for my order inside cause they were just slammed at that moment

There are not enough parking spots for all the cars in line - they are two short.

Also, above grade parking spaces are such a waste of space.

Fast food has destaffed their registers so even with this line it is probably faster to drive through than to wait to order before you wait for your deprioritized food

Why is walking into a restaurant superior to driving through?

A decent espresso machine is like $100.

No it isn't, a $100 machine cannot make espresso even if the box claims it does, unless you go used, the minimum for a machine that can make espresso is like $600.

Please continue to believe it costs $600 to force some steam through a puck of coffee.

I'll do that while enjoying a properly extracted cup of espresso and not some under extracted dirt bucket.
