This is entirely a corpo policy to limit liability. The idea, as far as I understand it, is that they want to prevent people from standing in the drive thru since that carries the risk of them being hit/injured/harmed while waiting in the line.
Its literally a problem because corpos don’t want to get sued for an idiot driver gassing their way through a drive thru and mowing someone down.
Honestly, given how lawsuit happy many people are, I’m not terribly surprised. What does surprise me though, is that they don’t have a walk-up window in a pedestrian safe area. I guess the logic is that the pedestrians can just go inside, but when the drive thru is open late, after the dining/walk in area closes, you end up with stupid situations like the OP.
