One of my favorite fast-food joints when I visited the states was Checkers. It was only walk-through and looked horrible to work in (Shed-sized building but one kitchen), but I liked the concept. It was easy to wander up, order food, chill, then maybe wander off somewhere else.

Without any cars to access or even reliably park (??), it was relaxing. A small slice of walker's paradise where all of the scenery catered to our eyes instead of condensed seating areas surrounded by idling cars.

Weird. Checkers is usually a tiny building which is entirely geared toward drive-through orders and is rather pedestrian unfriendly in colder weather because it is all outside ordering and dining if you don't want to use the drive-through.

Even weirder, because where I am every checkers is in a gas station, with a drive through on the side of the building. If that isn't as car-centric as it gets, just shoot me.

This is the part I don't get. I watched Chick-Fil-A build a new restaurant. Required all kinds of crazy drainage engineering to get into the corner of a larger parking lot. But throw in a covered drive-through on top of that? Absolutely not. They did build a kiosk for the drive-through, but could have just as easily built a second drive-through window and called it a day.
