SA excited by liquor store’s drive-thru

A lot of fast-food restaurants understand the fast-paced world we live in and not only rely on their two-minute deep-fried cuisines to bring in customers. They invented the drive-thru for motorists to get their orders on the go.

This concept worked very well, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when social distancing was taken seriously. More restaurants leaned into the concept of drive-thrus, including Spur and Mugg & Bean.

Another shop that has made things easier for its loyal customers is Shoprite Liquor. They gave a drive-thru in Hammanskraal. 

A woman who had been travelling, Snookie, shared a video using the services and received her order without the hassle of queuing in-store and searching for her beverages in multiple aisles.

South Africans were excited and hoped that many more towns would adopt the concept to make people’s lives a lot easier. A few people opposed the idea of a drive-thru because it seemed to promote drinking and driving, which causes a lot of road accidents that lead to death.

The other reason certain individuals opposed the concept of a liquor drive-thru is that scamming people would be much easier, as prices could be manipulated. There were a few people who admitted to liking the normalcy of walking into a store and shopping for the things they wanted.

“I love to enter a bottle store because I like to see new things, and I just get extremely happy walking in, but the concept of a liquor drive-thru is nice.”
