A drive through was an Earth invention, a business conceived for automobiles or other vehicles to frequent the establishment without leaving the operators leaving their vehicles.
History and specifics[]
Most often a food business, often for the purpose of being a fast food restaurant. A private vehicle would approach a large, free-standing menu. The operator of said vehicle would shout his selection of food and drink at the menu. In turn, the vehicle would then be allowed to pull forward to a window in the side of a restaurant. Here, money was exchanged for food. Errors in this process were common.
This was listed by Tom Paris as one of the many things he loved about Earth's 20th century. (ST reference: Star Trek Cookbook)
