They like to make us use the app nowadays.
It's a frustrating experience in my experience, because you either have to:
- go handle your phone in the drive thru and wait to put it 'just in time'
- try to put it together before and pull it up there, the app might eat it
- 'pre-order' which will totally fuck you over if you get there and the line is backed out to the street for whatever ungodly reason. If it isn't, you'll either get your food normally, or somehow you wind up getting something that almost feels like it was made before you even placed the order.
- Speaking of above, using the app seems to result in a higher probability of getting stuff that definitely feels 'aged' in some way or otherwise put together like trash.

I've never had any issues pulling up to a curbside spot and ordering there, and have the food brought to my car (Houston area - not sure if it's common elsewhere)
