McDonalds drive through

[4GS]

Morning all,

Why is it called a 'drive through' when you have to:

1) Drive up to the 1st window
2) Place your order and pay for it
3) Drive to the next window
4) Pick up your order
5) Drive away

Shouldn't it be called a 'Drive up, stop, drive on, stop, drive through'?

It is an 'americanism'

Something thought up by the yanks and has caught on here!

you missed out
3a) go and wait for 10 mins in the waiting bay whilst someone looks at the order and decides what parts of it they are not going to put in your bag.

and 5a) get home and realise that there are no fries

And not forgetting the repeat of your order 3 times, getting more exasperated each time you have to repeat yourself.

you forgot

6) Can you go park in zone 1 as your order will take 5 minutes!
