QSR Magazine Drive-Thru Study

Somehow, every year, the annual QSR drive-thru study gets further and further away from reality. To claim that Taco Bell does a better job in drive-thru than McDonald's is silly. It's not a reasonable comparison. Taco Bell's AUV is $1.2 million. It's like comparing an Ace Hardware store to a Home Depot.

Maybe even sillier is comparing a KFC to a Chick-fil-A.
