I mean the problem with drive throughs is that's like the most painful way to order anything. Doesn't matter if it's a human or an AI. Lets talk on a garbage speaker 6 feet away with traffic, wind and everything else inbetween. Without being able to see the face of the person. Know when or if the feed has been cut off, also the added fun of the speed being terrible and of course the ability to get stuck because even if you realize it's not worth the time... a car can pull up behind you and force you to wait it out as long as it takes.
