Drive through
-->order here------>one and only window (get food and money here)


under this system your predicament is impossible. This is obviously EV- for taco bell, since there are a lot of dumb people in the world that pay for their food at McDonalds without picking it up, but what can they do right this is Ronald's scam not taco bell's.


They make up for it by imprisoning you. That right, between the time you order and the time you pay/pickup, you may not leave. At mcdonalds you are welcome to order and drive away right then, but at the bell you're stuck in line. If the guy at the window has a heart attack (he is at the taco bell drive thru, after all) you're not getting out of this hell hole until the tow truck comes, or you jump the curb (and trust me dem's some tall curbs).

I think more people leave because they're sick of the wait than leave because they forgot their food.
