I mean I feel for these people. But honestly, how often do people get shot specifically at the drive thru?
Their energy could be better directed towards the root of the issue: gun control or mental health.
The escape lane also would allow emergency vehicles to drive up to help people having a heart attack, a car fire or some other emergency in the drive-thru lane.
The Kelemans said there was no space for police, paramedics and others responding to their daughter’s shooting to pull up to the drive-thru.
Yea those root causes should be addressed too, but it’s a pretty good law IMO since it covers emergency situations beyond that as well. It would be helpful for even things like someone having a stroke or heart attack
I am too European to understand this
Drive throughs absolutely need ways for people to leave, though I’m not sure if there are many great ways one can be implemented without increasing the (already quite large) concrete/asphalt footprints of suburban fast food buildings. I see a lot of concrete curb islands that only seem to serve the purpose of locking people into the wait, and those would be a great place to start.
Fuck this is so tragic I hated drive thrus without a way to bail already but this is evidence of them actually being fucking dangerous.
