I would think drive thru's would be well lit. How else can you read the menu to order? If homeless are paying for fast food why should they have to go to a gas station to eat? I have no idea what "down in okc means" so I'm guessing it has nothing to do with people being able to get food from a drive up window.
It possibly has to do with legal liability. The restaurant's insurance company may not be very happy or may even exclude coverage when people are hurt in a drive thru.
Also, if they allowed walkups to order, it might be hard to maintain any semblance of orderliness or priority while waiting in line because it would be very simple for the walkup to walk between cars and go to the head of the line. This could cause the car drivers to get angry with someone cutting the line and could lead to arguments and fights in the drive-thru lane. With a car, it's much harder to cut in front of someone in another car while in a drive-thru lane.
The OP neglects to mention how the homeless guy was acting at the time of the incident:
Sgt. David Rose, of the Houston Police Department (HPD) Vehicular Crimes Division, told Newsweek: "A homeless couple approached the drive-thru window of a fast-food restaurant at the above address to place an order and an employee refused to serve them. The male then asked for scissors and the employee gave him a knife. The male then got upset and began verbally arguing with the employee. The male then stabbed the drive-thru window plexiglass several times. The male then stopped and he and his girlfriend began collecting change from the drive-thru area.
No visible trauma on the body is not a sign that nothing happened.
In 2011, there was a bad wreck in front of where I worked in the Everglades.
Four girls were in a car, turned left in front of an SUV (speed limit on the rd was 55), the SUV smashed into the car right into the girl sitting in the back seat, passenger side.
Two were unhurt but shook up, one (front seat passenger side) had a broken leg.
The girl in the back seat?
We pulled her out.
Not a single scratch on her despite an SUV plowing right into her door, and into her. No scratches, no marks, nothing.
But boy....the stuff that gushed out of her mouth? She died very shortly after.
I'm going to bet that the manager was not going 55+ when he hit the homeless guy, so no, there doesn't have to be vehicle damage or noticeable bodily injury...but inside? A whole lot can be going on.
True. Guy that worked for the same employer, dating a girl in my office. Driving at 6 a.m. in fog, backended somebody. They got out and he was standing between the vehicles examining damage when another car hit his truck from the back and smushed him between the front of his truck and the back of the other. (Please, people, pull off to the side if you have an accident.)
Ambulance was called. He didn't want to get in, said he was fine, no pain, no wounds, but they made him go. He was dead before he got to the hospital. Liver was severed inside of him.
Sorry for the question, but, what kind of car was that?
