Carbrain culture is sitting in your car for 20 minutes instead of getting out and just walking into the restaurant.

If there's a line like this in the drive through I just move on. The inside is gonna be even slower than just waiting for drive through.
I commonly see these drive thru lines and walk inside. No line.
Idk every time I've gone inside when a line is like this there won't be many people inside but the order will still take forever for some reason.
That's because there are 3 or 4 cars in the line between the order kiosk and the window who have already ordered before you walked in the door. When you walk in, you jump the line of cars before the order kiosk. But there aren't separate queues for counter and drive thru in the kitchen. They just see a list of orders in the order in which they were received, and process orders more or less FIFO.
If there are cars behind the order kiosk, you are almost certainly getting your order faster than if you had joined at the end of the line.
Yeah that makes sense. Like I said if they're that busy I'll just go somewhere else.
