One certain disease

0:02

bet you didn't know a McDonald's

0:06

drive thru is so convenient

0:08

today, we've got quite a couple in Singapore,

0:10

right? But you know, the very first McDonald's

0:12

drive thru was actually established for

0:14

a pretty interesting reason. It was installed

0:16

in a restaurant based in Sierra Vista

0:19

in Arizona, which is in the states. Now this place

0:21

is located near Fort Huachuca

0:23

military installation. So in the

0:25

states, the military

0:27

rules forbid soldiers

0:29

from wearing the military uniforms in

0:31

public. So if the soldiers,

0:33

because it's like a military base rate, why just grab

0:36

a burger, you know, and they're not going to change into

0:38

civilian clothes just to grab a burger run

0:40

out and run back to base? So the restaurant

0:42

manager of this particular McDonald's, his name

0:44

is David Rich. He came up with a solution.

0:47

He thought, Hey, why don't we cut a hole in the wall?

0:49

Allow members of the military to pick up the orders

0:51

without stepping up the car, which means

0:54

they won't break the walls and you tap into

0:56

a huge, like ready clientele

0:58

that is there. What worked and the convenience

1:01

and simplicity of the idea just quickly caught

1:03

on, and a lot of places started doing this drive

1:05

thru service. But McDonald's very first

1:07

drive thru service was actually due

1:10

to the military. I want

1:12

you to know that you

1:14

didn't know.
