Have you ever went to a fast food restaurant through the drive-thru and didn't want to wait in line too long to pay so you left?

So I went to Burger King today after work and had to wait in line in front of another car then when I pulled up to order my food nobody said anything so I waited for a few mins then I said "hello" and I order my food. Then I pulled up and had to wait from the other car in front to pay so I was getting inpatients so when the car in front was leaving I said to myself that I'm gonna leave I didn't pay yet so I left too then I went to McDonald's instead.
 
Some fast food restaurants in Seattle have reduced drive-thru hours due to short staffing.
 
I stopped eating fast food entirely. The last time was in 2019, I went to Chipotle once that year, and it does not have a drive-thru. But I used to drive past a drive-thru because the line was too long. When the city I live in got our second In-N-Out Burger, I was thinking the new one would have a short line since we had two now, but it didn't.
 
Years ago in Saddle Brook NJ I would go through the drive thru at a McDonald's on RT.46 when I was on the road. And a few time I wanted to leave but was stuck in-between several million cars. :LOL:

And I couldn't leave without getting my Fish Filet O Fish with extra tartar sauce and medium fries.

Usually when I was up to the pick up window the food was ready to go.

Firstly, the word is "through" not "thru". Secondly, I'd hardly describe these fast food places as "restaurants". Thirdly and finally, I've never been anywhere near one.
 
/\ And, even in a thread title, one 'r' is plenty.:)
 
The world's worst McDonald's is in Voorhees, NJ. My friend Ann went through the drive-thru one day. They gave her an empty bag

Yeah. A couple of times I have sat at the order point and no-one has taken my order so I have driven off

Yesterday I wanted to get a coffee at the local McDonalds drive through and it was shut due to staff shortages. There was no way I was going to park and queue inside for just a coffee. I went to Costa's drive through instead
 
Sometimes it works out.

We went through one and after waiting about ten minutes at the window, someone came and apologized because she was the only one on and forgot our order and gave us our meals for free.
 
We never use these junk food outlets any more. The rubbish they sell does not deserve to be called food.
If there is nothing else available, it wil do us no harm to wait until we get home to eat.

Here is Los Angeles they have used the opposite approach - they have closed the indoor dining area and put everyone on the drive-thru. One McDonalds in the area did a total remodel shrinking inside to almost nothing and putting a second lane of drive-thru.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the new $20 per hour minimum pay that just got approved - I think we will see a lot more "order kiosks" and "use the app" to cut down on counter staff.
 
My McDonald's also closed their inside and had only the drive-thru open when they were short staffed one day. Later they closed the inside for a few weeks while they remodeled but kept the drive-thru open.

If the line is moving so slow that it is minutes between moves TO ORDER, I will pull out of the line. I don't think I've ever pulled out of line after i ordered. I have messed around with the McD's app that you can order for curb delivery or counter pickup. I almost always go inside because I like to fix/pour my own soda or iced tea.

Our McD's closes the inside dining if they are short of staff.

"thru" is the common spelling. Linguistic snobbery isn't any less cringe-inducing than any other form of snobbery.
 
It was Harry and Esther Snyder, of the In-N-Out Burger chain that built the first drive-through restaurant in 1948. Harry and Esther, the chain's founders, built their first restaurant in Baldwin Park, California, with a two-way speaker to enable patrons to order directly from their cars without the intermediation of a carhop. Within 5 years, they had added a drive-up window to one of their locations, though not all locations would receive a window.
 
We are more mobile that many other cultures, vehicle-wise, so there's that.

The sniping from the galleries conveniently forgets we didn't invent fried foods, just made them more efficiently distributed, but that is almost gone now as Middle Earth passes and the orcs have taken over. Fish & chips at kiosks were a thing long before American's built interstates.

And don't apologize for quoting the restaurants when they plainly label it a drive-thru. This is retail, not a Latin grammar lesson.

To answer your question, yes, many times. Most times, just seeing a line of cars in the drive-thru informs you the crew is off their game and not worth the stress. Most times.
