I once walked down to the local ice cream dispensary to get a cone of some type. But they were short-handed that day, and had closed the walk-up window. So I walked over to the drive-thru window.
They would not serve me without a car. Instead of closing the drive-thru and making drivers get out of their car, they closed the walk-up window, and wouldn't serve any walk-ups at the drive-thru.
Fuck drive-thrus.
I once took my bike to the Burger King drive-thru. It was late at night, no cars in sight. Yet the next time I went there, about two weeks later, they had already put up a sign explicitly banning bicycles.
