    This is only tangentially related, but I just wanted to share a random anecdote.

    I ordered a mobile pickup order at my local Taco Bell with their app. Since it’s nearby, I walked there and I had selected in store pickup. I walked inside and waited for a few moments. The manager comes out and this interaction happens.

    Manager: “Inside was supposed to be closed. Idk who unlocked the door but you have to go through the drive through”

    Me: “Oh uhh I already paid for an in store pickup through the app.”

    Manager: “You have to go through the drive through.”

    Me: “Uhhh…can I walk through the drive through? I walked here.”

    The manager looks at me in total disbelief that someone would do that. “You don’t have a car???”

    Me: “I mean I just walked here.”

    Manager: “Ok hold on I’ll get your order.”

    Lol. She looked at me like she had never heard of anyone walking some place to get some food lol. Granted I live literally a 5 minute walk from there which is probably not really the norm.
