Some places are drive-thru only after a certain hour or worse don’t even have a dine-in option at all. I remember walking to a fast food joint next to my old apartment one night since it was the only place open and they wouldn’t let me order because I wasn’t in a car.
This is so fucked up to be honest. Just looking at the block that the Starbucks is sitting on it could be used much more effectively (if parking and roads were not a priority in north america).
A similar footprint in a european town/city could probably have 3 or 4 low-rise developments on it. We have developers and governments screeming housing crisis and a large city sprawl issue, yet we use space so ineffectively.
To rub it in there’s all that free parking and just one parked car. I wonder where the hell are employees park their cars to leave all that space for customers.
That might be the employee’s car. I once worked at Dunkin’ Donuts and I was the only person staffing the place and had to do drive thru when it was like this. Also had to help walk-in customers. It was hell.
The employees might not have money for a car since they get paid a shit wage… which means having to walk through the car infrastructure.
Well, someone has built the US in a way that in many places using the car is the only viable option. That’s why half-blind 80 year olds still drive their own cars.

Don’t get surprised when ufo’s try to land in your country in another 50 years. Entire USA would look like a parking lot from space and aliens would think your country is a motel.
You look like a parking lot from space. -peeps
Was this during COVID and the war in section was closed?
Exactly my thought… there’s not a single car parked which is strange
Edit:… there’s one car parked :)
Interesting note. That is the 2 maggots, where famous artists in the 1930-1960’s would have afternoon coffee and discuss politics, paintings, and everything of the day .
Can’t do that in a driveway in your car? Smh
Fuck Starbucks too
In fairness, have you tried being outside lately. So hot. No idea why, but there’s no way I want to be outside right now. I’m going to prefer sitting inside my 2 ton box and blast the A/C using my gas powered engine until it cools off a bit.
No idea why? gas is kind of a big part of why
It’s gotta be artful sarcasm
Oh yeah that went way over my head
Yeah you have to be better at knowing when people are serious or not.
There are more people served at the refasse than at the drive in line
Who waits more than 5 min for a 10 dollar caffeine shake?
Does that sign say Les Deux Magots?
Is that an insult?
It’s such a famous place that it has its own Wikipedia page. About the name, it says:
“Magot” literally means “stocky figurine from the Far East”. The name originally belonged to a fabric and novelty shop at nearby 23 Rue de Buci. The shop sold silk lingerie and took its name from a popular play of the moment (19th century) entitled Les Deux Magots de la Chine. Its two statues represent Chinese “mandarins”, or “magicians” (or “alchemists”), who gaze out over the room.
But think of the calories I’m saving by sitting comfortably in my oversized and air conditioned vehicle!
I think sugar is the problem here not cars
I hate crowds or human interaction, so the world of machines looks actually better.
Delivery and pick up are still both options offered by many coffee shops in walkable cities. In the case of delivery, dense bikeable neighborhoods might actually be faster in terms of food delivery than in a car centric society.
