If anyone’s going to get a fine there it would really be the individuals. While the business is creating the demand, there isn’t really any process they could put in place to stop people lining out onto the road.
Also, if we were going to forbid it, what would be the substantive difference with forbidding just parking on the public road? Which, yeah, that’s definitely a conversation we should have and a direction we should move towards—it’d probably have a greater effect anyway. But it’s not clear that there’s really a great mechanism for specifically banning queueing.
What really annoys me is that it’s pretty obvious that places will prioritise the drive-through over in-store customers. You can go in and watch car after car get served at the window while you wait for your meal.
The drive thru is perfect for the fast food owner. Most of the time they dont have to worry about guests using tables, using the washrooms, dirtying the floors etc. It processes the customer and gets them off their property faster.
The USA isn’t the only country in the world so you take care of your shit in your own country and seeing the number of omnibus bills that pass Congress, I’m sure it could very easily pass without anyone noticing, just like most stupid laws do in your country.

Drive thrus should simply be illegal and that would solve the issue.
Yeah that’d be reasonable.

Perfect for the owner, a complete waste of resources for everyone else… Hard to make a choice
Restaurants make more money on drive-thru customers than in-store customers.
Yeah go ahead and get right on that. Be sure to tell Congress and the President of the USA that is the priority they need to be working on.

Sure, go ahead and get right on that like I said.
