First McDonalds drive thru
The first McDonald's Drive Thru was installed in a restaurant based in Sierra Vista, Arizona, located near the Fort Huachuca military installation. Military rules forbade the soldiers from wearing their military uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian clothes just to grab a burger and run back to base, so restaurant manager David Richcame up with a solution: cut a hole into the wall and allow members of the military to pick up their orders without stepping out of their car. The convenience and simplicity of the idea quickly caught on.

Thant's an amazing way for a drive thru to begin!
I wonder if that is why the first McDonalds in our area was in Lawton, Oklahoma near Ft. Sill.
Who KNEW??? That makes perfect sense! Except I can't imagine why they didn't want the miltary to not dress in uniform in public! Wonder why?
To think that started it all! Now we use a drive thru for all kinds of products.
That manager was brilliant!
what a great idea...who knew how convenient it would become. especially during covid!!
