There was one in a town I lived in once, and you basically drove INTO the store. It was like a car wash, but you drove in, they walked up to your window, you asked for what you want, and they brought it all to your car and put in in the back seat or trunk.

I have family in the Cleveland area and I swear that’s the only place I’ve ever seen stores like that

Haha, I've had the Grand Tour of Ohio during my lifetime so I know exactly what you're talking about. I grew up in the Cincinnati area, went to college at OSU, and live in NEO now.

These drive-thru convenience stores are all over the place. The only thing that sucks about NEO is the nearest Skyline is down in Mayfield...

Where? Used to live there, SO was a native and never mentioned it. It would have been a hit with our lifestyle at the time.

There's one in Findlay. Went there far too frequently in college. They actually sold liquor though. Most of them only sell beer and other convenience store items.

Shit. I lived in Miami. We didn't have this. Just a lot of dudes in white linen pants.

SW ohio here - plenty of drive thru stores here, although not as many as there used to be.

Brew Through? I've used them in Myrtle Beach, SC and (I think) Pensacola, FL).

Some have funny rules. Like, if there is a lid on it, it's not an "open" container. Or better, they put the straw in, but tear 90% of the paper off.

Most people just get a case or 2 of beer, and pop the trunk on the way to beach week.

The most fun part is thinking of people spending years of their lives inhaling exhaust fumes. Thank God there are fewer diesels...

Same in NOLA. Go to a drive-thru Daquari stand. They hand you the glass and the straw has a little paper hat on it.

That makes it make sense in light of open carry laws.

I remember getting liquor there on the way to the nearby punk club in the 80s.
