  • The REAL real trick is this (both assume you’re ok with checking your carry on):

    1. If you’ve got some time, check in with the front desk and ask if you can check your carry on for free. They’ll usually do it, especially if the flight is full (which is very common)
    2. When you get to the gate, they almost always ask if anyone will voluntarily gate check their carry on. Just do it. Now, no more having to worry about finding an overhead bin, and also not having to pack around that carry on after you get off the plane

    Basically, it’s all about workflow. With the drive through, you’ve got this system that is very linear. The result of that is a flow that can get incredibly backed up easily if one step takes a long time. And believe it it not, placing the order is often the slowest step. This is why many McDonald’s have put in 2 drive through lanes (while still keeping just one payment window and another pick up window which all cars must funnel through).

    This basically allows more orders per minute to be collected, as well as preventing clogs due to grandma taking her goddamn sweet time to put in her order
