When you’re in a hurry, there’s nothing more convenient than a drive-through. Often written “drive-thru,” this convenience began due to America’s love affair with cars. Companies wanted to make it easier for people to do business without leaving their cars. The first bank opened a drive-through in 1946. Fast-food restaurants followed in the late 1940s. Both fast-food restaurants and banks use microphones and speakers to communicate with customers. Fast-food customers give their orders from their car. Then they drive up next to a window in the building to receive their meals. Banking customers receive their cash from an automatic drawer.
