HOT TAKE: Many of the things we call “drive-thrus” should actually be referred to as “drive-bys”. Please find my scientific evidence attached. Thank you for your understanding

1. a diagram that uses three crudely handmade 3D renders of a fictional restaurant called “Burger Monarch”. the first has a drive-thru made out of a tunnel through the building. “This is a drive-thru. Your car is entering the building through one side, and leaving through the other. QED.” the second has a canopy attached to the side of the building, with a car underneath it. “This is a drive-thru. Your car is passing through a structure that’s attached to the building. I think that’s close enough to count.” the third just has a window on the side of the building, with a car parked next to it. “This is NOT a drive-thru. Your car is never enclosed at any point within this ordering process. I think this should actually be called a drive-by.”
