I'm glad we don't have banks/atm with drive thru (or many drive thru to beginn with) but this reminds me of my first covid test.
This was in the very beginning when testing was available like the first couple of weeks, when testing through a professional was available and everything was under tight lock down. My city's health department set up a low contact drive through at a trade show site.
In general not a bad idea to reduce contact, but it was like they didn't even imagine, that someone had to get there without a car (this is Germany mind you not the US). There was no set up for non drivers at all.
I live quite central and still had to take 2 trams and a bus to get there (after Covid exposure to mandatory testing) walk over a huge parking space into a fucking parking garage and behind those cars waiting in line through the whole garage to the testing station. All while feeling like shit.
Ahh yeah, memories...
