Obsession? It’s not an obsession, it’s just a thing we have, to make life easier. It’s not like we all demand drive through for everything, that was someone else’s decision. It’s not that deep.

You might want to think about how much more extreme the weather is in the US compared to the UK. Being able to stay in your car and not get out in the weather has a definite appeal. I am 58 years old, I’ve never known a time in the US when we didn’t have drive-through banks. We have had drive-through pharmacies since the early 90’s as well.

When you have a toddler that falls asleep in their car seat, not having to take them inside for small errands like back, pharmacy, etc. is a godsend.

You know, most bank ATMs are *also* in the drive-thru. And yes, we can get prescriptions in the mail, but that can be unreliable - especially if you live rurally. And if you're sick, you need medicine TODAY. Not in 2-5 business days.

why would a drive thru bank blow your mind when it’s just performing the same service as going in, it’s super convenient…it’s not really any different than a drive thru fast food place and that doesn’t “blow your mind”, right?

A couple points: 1. My pharmacy has a walk in clinic so there are usually sick people in there and I don't want to catch anything. it's typically a long wait so yeah, I'd rather wait in my car. Additionally, if I am sick and picking up meds, I don't want to expose others, plus I feel like crap and look like crap so I don't want to be around anyone or be seen by multiple people. 2. When I get off work and it is a 45 minute commute and I have errands to run, I want to be efficient as possible because I am usually stopping at multiple places if running errands. 3. Delivery fees for delivery plu many s people like my grandparents live out in the rural areas and delivery isn't available.

Drive thru pharmacies are AMAZING!!! I get to speak to my pharmacist in person, sort any issue out, all while staying in my car. Same with the bank. I can do whatever I need without standing in line and anyone else hearing my business. I love it

Drive thru works in places that are rural. You live outside of town but delivery doesn’t happen.

a lot of it is also kids, its hard to get kids in and out of a car and a lot of parents don't have family or babysitters to watch them so if they need money or food they can drive thru without the hassle

Take for instance now while the temperature is in the negatives or in the summer when it’s in the 90’s

We have drive thru daiquiri shops in Louisiana! You can't put the straw in while driving, though 😅

many towns and communities were developed after the automobile was common. Made it nice during covid.

Several locally owned pharmacies where I live do offer delivery and also have the drive-thru option as well. I have worked as a pharmacy technician, a bank teller, and now work in a doctor’s office and I noticed that a lot of the people who use drive-thrus have mobility issues. I have also volunteered as a poll worker in my state and there are “drive-thru” rules to help voters with mobility issues still get to vote (at one polling location I worked, it had an area where people could pull their vehicle up to and we could see inside from a window that a vehicle was there and we’d go outside to the vehicle with everything needed to help the person vote. Drive-thrus aren’t mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but a lot businesses, etc, have adopted them because it makes their business/org/etc accessible. And the ADA’s rules, like drive-thrus, just make things convenient for the rest of us without disabilities. So the “obsession” is mostly just businesses, etc, wanting to get as many people as possible to them. Same reason so many offer delivery, online ordering, etc now since the pandemic and same reason some places are open 24/7/365. It’s about maximizing outreach to consumers through convenience. The doc I work for does house calls, telephone appointments, video appointments, etc to ensure patients can get care regardless of their mobility and where they are in the world (he has literally video chatted with a patient while they were in Japan, and he’s driven several hours on a Saturday just to go give a patient an injection of medication so they’d have that medicine in them until their small town pharmacy opened up on Monday and they could pickup the prescription he gives them). Visiting family in Louisiana and finding out they have drive-thru liquor stores is probably the craziest drive-thru besides LV’s marriage one you mentioned. So I definitely see your point about how crazy drive-thru culture can get here.

Convenience and automobiles are synonymous and part of the fiber of Americana. We value are time and try to maximize it. Also the USA 🇺🇸 is huge!

It really depends on the pharmacy. A lot of them offer delivery, and online pharmacies can ship prescriptions to your door. That said, controlled substances usually have to be picked up in person

If I go into the bank it’s because I gotta sign something, otherwise it’s atm or drive thru every time. We have drive through convience stores, like Brew Through, and liquor stores as well. Pharmacy may deliver in a city idk but in rural, no way.
