It's not like normal convenience stores just don't exist where beer barns are. You can just pull up to a gas station if you want. The ones near me here in the US will also do prepared drinks, they'll just seal the whole thing in clear plastic so you're not driving with an open container. They'll also do snacks and shit.

It's all for the novelty, just like anything else this specific.

Because it's backwards. Having a line of cars to get into the store guarantees you will be waiting in your car like a moron.

Both? Flyover culture is against mixed-use development, and very much against environmentalism of all kinds, so when there were jobs in flyover land, all commutes were an hour or longer. Partly because an excessive drive is a status symbol, and partly because dumping toxic waste into the rivers and pumping poison gas into the air is freedom.

This. The only people who go through are people who know what they want already. The server will ask what you want and either he or someone else will go get it while the other person takes your money and brings you back the change. They chuck it in the car/tray for you and you're on your way as the first server is already dealing with the car behind you. It's quick and convenient.
