    Just skip the line. What are the cars gonna do? Beep at you and risk running out of honk?

    And what was the guy doing that he couldn’t take care of it?

    As a truck driver during the height of COVID shutdowns I had to walk a fair few drive throughs. Lobby was closed.

    The bank closest to my house took out the ATM in the lobby. There’s two ATM’s in the drive thru lanes, but they frown on anyone using them that’s not in a 4-wheeled vehicle. Your other option is one of the tellers like it’s 1950.

      I’d rather not piss off strangers and then stand directly in front of their cars. Some of them are not very stable.

        Yea, several thousand tons death machines operated by angry hairless monkeys isn’t my favorite either.
        I guess you’re probably fine if you have a clipboard and look like you’re inspecting it while doing your transaction.

        This also works on constructions sites where no one wants to be involved with a clipboard.

        My real question though is why the employee inside couldn’t take care of whatever they needed done at an ATM.

          There’s a (global) trend to have actual bank branches cashless. It’s purely a cost saving “innovation”.

          Having only a drive-through ATM is a little weird though.
