5 Bizarre Drive-Thru Services

09/23/2013

Whether it's been out of convenience or to save a little bit of time, you've most likely ventured through the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant at some point in your life. Around for years, the McDonald's and Wendy's of the world have made obtaining meals cheap and easy. It was only a matter of time before other services became available via a drive-thru window. Perhaps they promote laziness, or maybe they really are great and inventive ways to quickly complete a task. Regardless, the following is a list of bizarre drive-thru services found throughout the United States, according to Business Insider.

Drive-Thru Prayer Booth

Do you ever feel as if you can't get through the day without a little guidance? If you go to school or work full time, then you most likely don't have time to go to church in the middle of the day for a few words of wisdom. Good news: you can now receive that much needed prayer while sitting in your vehicle! If you're searching for some quick encouragement, then use the drive-thru prayer booth to speak to God and sort out all of your issues.

Drive-Thru Law Firm

Are you searching for fast legal advice? Sure, you could always call an attorney, but isn't that a little impersonal? In Manchester, Connecticut, you now have the possibility of obtaining legal advice via a drive-thru window. You can conveniently speak to a paralegal from the comfort of your own car. You'll receive legal documents, answers to your questions, and quick service.

Drive-Thru Funeral Parlor

No one likes to visit the funeral home. Whether you're paying your respects to a close loved one or an acquaintance, the process can be uncomfortable and difficult to bear. You now have the option of saying "goodbye" from your very own vehicle. Though it may seem a little dispassionate, this Los Angeles option is said to be a better and faster way to serve a large amount of mourners.

Drive-Thru Voting Poll

Voting can be a time consuming process, but it's a privilege that shouldn't go to waste. You no longer have an excuse not to cast your ballot, as you don't even have to leave your car to do so. Originally developed for those with disabilities, the voting poll drive-thru can be seen in numerous counties throughout California and Oregon.

Drive-Thru Emergency Room

Do you have an emergency? You could always call 9-1-1, or you could get in your car and wait for a doctor to see you via a drive-thru. Designed in 2004 to assist with the SARS epidemic, Stanford Hospital has discovered it takes physicians roughly 26 minutes to see a patient in their car versus 90 minutes in a regular hospital.

If you're constantly on the go, then you probably spend the majority of your time in your vehicle. You may find drive-thru services to be convenient and necessary, but for every essential opportunity, there are also choices to avoid. For example, you may want to steer clear of the drive-thru liquor store and drive-thru bar-there's nothing appropriate about drinking and driving.

Training Courses

As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. These training courses will make you a better driver.
