A man went to Wendy's for some late-night grub just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday. He was on foot and couldn't get into the restaurant because only the drive-through was open. "He asked if I would take his money and order his food in the drive-through," wrote Carrboro Police Officer L. Alvarez in an incident report. "I did, and he left the area without incident."

Go ahead, walk through the drive-through
Wed, 07/30/2008 - 22:32 — John Hoff (not verified)I've walked up to drive through windows plenty of times, mostly without a problem. I've even done it with BANK drive through windows. I've also done it on bikes. Lots of times.
Once in a while--not very often--somebody will say you can't walk through the drive through. Usually they are just wrong. Tell 'em you need to hear it from a manager.
People are driving less all the time. It's more and more socially acceptable to do this.
