somebody misinterpreted corporate orders

Can't see why they wouldn't want people there in cars
Probably just over cautious

Wonder if that's considered part of dining "on premises"? Vs pick up only? So maybe still under (or misinterpreted) lock down orders?

I'm sure they'll figure it out. Seems like drive ins (eating, movies, etc) are a great business model for the times
