Paying with cash at fast food windows or drive thru’s is faster than paying by card

I’ve worked at multiple fast food chains and paying with cash at the first window helps you get through the whole process faster than paying with a credit card. It’s because the 2nd window doesn’t have to wait on you to sign your receipt, they can just hand you your food and change without pressing anything on the register. This also means the car behind you gets their food faster too, and if you get your food faster, the whole line gets their food faster. <br><br>Also, if you want to get through a drive-thru even faster, you should order and pay on the app and do the curbside pickup, instead of waiting in line. Most restaurants are guaranteed a 2min time or less.
