Some drive thru have two windows, one where you pay and one where you pickup. So you just tell the pay window that you have your car and the car behind you.
Nowadays most places either only have one window and make one person do both jobs, also they don’t have to pay as many people. The overall service is slower, but no one seems to care enough.
Sometimes you can even find older restaurants that have two windows and one is just permanently closed.
Also Starbucks had (still has?) a trend where you pay for the car behind you as a sort of pay it forward thing. Although in that scenario you probably can’t take someone else’s food.
