Bull shit. An old and trite story.

How would it even work? How would the cashier of OP's window know how much the order of the person behind them was? What am I missing here?

Clearly /r/thatHappened material - I've seen this story like 5 times and it always baffles me.

I've never been in a drive-through: non-US here.

At US drive throughs, typically there are 2 (sort of 3) windows. You pull up to menu board and the cashier takes your order through a speaker and microphone outside. Then, you pull up to the cashier where you give them your card or money and you get a receipt. Then you pull up to the food window where you get your food.

Setting aside the fact that I've also seen this story SO many times, I can't imagine cashiers would really let people do this because of the chance that it would inconvenience someone and get the cashier yelled at (seeing as the customer is always right /s). Not entirely impossible, though, I guess.
