    Are drive thru restaurants still doing basically the same thing by telling people to pull forward to a parking lot stall, to make it look like their time to complete an order is faster than it actually is?

      I’ve only seen that happen when one particular order is waiting on something. It’s a good move because it gets that person out of line so other orders can be filled while they wait instead of holding up the whole line. If they did that to every order they’d just be wasting time making an employee run out to the parking lot every single order and trust me they don’t want to do that.

      I only get told to pull forward when there’s a queue, and they want to get the person behind me to the window.

      Yeah. I’ve worked in a few places with drive throughs and that is exactly why they have you pull forward. Some places only tell people with large orders to do that though.
