26、 Fast food, it turns out; isnt quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that McDonalds posted its slowest drive-through times since this survey was first conducted fifteen years ago. At McDonalds, customers will spend on average three minutes and nine seconds from the time they place their

29、ch as McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell. “Usually the drive-through accounts for sixty to seventy percent of all business that goes through a fast-food restaurant,“ notes Sam Oches, editor of QSR.
