The silver lining is I can nip inside to the almost empty coffee shop and leave with my order before two cars have been served. No idea why these people would rather sit in their car for twenty minutes than walk for twenty seconds.
I wish this was true, I've tried it multiple times at Starbucks and it doesn't work.
I think the majority of the staff is working on mobile/drive thru orders vs the orders that come in at the counter.
Regardless, going inside has taken me longer then joining that stupid line.
No idea. I served in drive throughs and I can tell you waiting time is shorter inside the store
Waiting time is shorter and I don't have to keep idling the car ( or turning it off and on again) before I can order.
I'm used to running inside because I ride a motorcycle a lot, and you're right the wait is almost always shorter inside the building. It's fun to see the same cars sitting in the line when you leave.
Ahh but you can't ever be part of a pretentious and pointless pay it forward chain, where suburbanites of the same financial status pay roughly for someone else what they would have paid for their own drinks
Because they clearly don't have to worry about all the extra money and time they're wasting on gas to buy commercial coffee every day. Must be nice.
It is best to just put in the order online. Then you can park, walk in, grab it, walk out and be moving before they serve a single car.
