When getting fast food it’s fairly frequent to be asked to pull around to the door and they bring out the food instead of just waiting at the window, even if there’s no one else in line, anyone know why they do that?

even when there's no one else in line

In this circumstance, it's usually because the avg time it takes to get customers through the line is tracked and they'll be penalized if it's too high, so they can artificially deflate the average by having people pull around to get their car off the pressure plate

When I worked at Taco Bell, I'd sometimes be tasked with driving laps around the drive thru to get our time down lol

We did have an employee who weighed enough that she could just walk laps and trigger the pressure plate, but she was naturally reluctant to volunteer that service
