I never do drive through.
One reason is the one you stated. I want to be able to check my food before I drive off.
The other is I just will not eat in my car unless I have no choice.
My wife on occasion picks up breakfast from McD’s on the way home from work and 50% of the time they get the order wrong.
I always avoid the drive thru because of French Fries. Now, I avoid fast food altogether becasue they serve old food, dried up sandwiches, old fries....
I like to stay right there at the window and check it.
“Would you pull forward please?”
“No.”
Another one I like sometimes is this,
“Would you park right over there and we’ll bring it out to you?”
“No, I’ll wait here. Ya know I have had so much trouble here because you can’t get the order right.”
Here’s another:
“Would you like cheese on that?”
“Why are you asking me that? No matter what I say you are going to put cheese on it anyway. You always do. I do not know what words to say to get you to not put cheese on it.”
Because of my saying all this, now it will in fact come without cheese (usually).
I think part of our difficulty was that our store is a company owned store not a franchise owned store. It was used to train managers most of whom were washed out for incompetence. If there was a good one he was always sent away pretty quickly. The incompetent ones stuck around like a hair on a biscuit.
I wish the Sheriff well. At last someone trying to do something :-)
