A Jack-In-The-Box in San Francisco (The Geary Street one) decided to keep its drive through open until midnight while the walk-in part closed at 8pm, which bugged me as a bicyclist. (They wouldn't serve me without a motor.)

Eventually the place opened up a walk-in window for after hours service, so I wasn't the only one bothered.

Take a chainsaw with you next time. If they complain that you don't have a motor, offer to demonstrate to them that you do in fact have one (without being threatening of course).

I would try riding up while revving my mouth as a motor.

“This is an e-bike. The motor is in the hub.”

What's the reasoning behind that

What's the reason to not serve people on foot at the drive through if they closed the walk-in?

I've been told it's a safety concern because people can get hit

I think it's related to safety and insurance but I don't really get it.
