First I have to say, I hope none of the above commenters use any Drive-thrus, afterall it would be hypocritical.

After reading the article and the comments, I am annoyed that City Coucil and commenters are not taking into consideration how many people will be out of employment. Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and all other companies that hire people to run their Drive-thrus would have to lay-off a considerable number people. Are you prepared to find jobs for all of these individuals? As an employee of one of these franchises, I know that this puts 6-10 full-time employees per store out of a job. The town in which I am employed has 12 stores, that I know. Do the math. That is one franchise to speak of. I also know the stores I work for are doing their part to keep Drive-thru times down. The average time customers are served at our store between 6am and 10am is 21 - 25 seconds. Now would it be fair to ban all Drive-thrus and unemploy 72-120 full-time individuals?

I do feel that we should get rid automated Drive-thru services like bank machines but I will not be signing your petition. I don't feel like City Council has given this topic enough thought.

Thank You!
