Do you wear a mask while at the drive through?

No. I only go through a drive through maybe once every 2 weeks, and I just can't be bothered to.
What places? I haven't seen any.

Of course. We're not 6 feet away from each other.
I've had a couple say they like the designs on mine.

Yes. I noticed a local McDonald's has a sign requesting people have masks on in the drive through. Masks are so easy to use that I see no reason not to just put it on briefly when at the drive through window.
Of course, both for me and them. Common courtesy.
From what I've seen it's dependant on the location itself but I have seen signs as well.
I don't bother when I'm placing the order at the little speaker box, but I'll have it on by the time I get to the window. As others have said, it's just being courteous and respectful to the workers. Every little bit helps, and it's better for both them and me.
A Fillibertos i go to during work has a sign up next to the kiosk. No mask no service.
I do now. Most drive thrus in my area have signs that says you must mask up as a precaution. I went to a Starbucks drive thru a couple of months ago and I forgot to put on a mask, the worker asked me to put on my mask before they hand me my drink. That was super embarrassing for me so I always mask up now.
I see. Though now that I think about it I've only been through like 4 different drive throughs in the past 8 months, so not that big of a sample size.
If I can remember I do. But out of all the times I mask up, at the drive through is probably the most inconsistent.
I'm surprised at the poll results. Thought I was the one being weird by putting it on before ordering (mainly because my lizard brain is like "randos have been spittling towards the intercom for hours before I got here... lemme not risk inhaling some droplets.")
Yes every time. Same for curbside. Even if the interactions are less than 30 seconds there's no reason not to.
I never see anyone else around here do it though. Mask usage is pretty good in stores. Well I can't say that for sure cause I never go in but in parking lots everyone I see at least has them on going in.
Side anecdote, was in a drive thru yesterday getting coffee and the truck in front me me dumped out their McDonald's cup then threw it out like a hook shot to the roof of their truck I assumed they were trying to get it to land in their bed but as soon as they rolled forward it rolled off in plain view of them. They made no effort to pick it up. I haven't seen anyone litter in probably 20 years (yes I know people do because there's trash everywhere). Not a surprise that this asshat wasn't wearing a mask at the window.

I fucked up last week and dipped out the house to grab some food and didn't realize I forgot my mask. Felt like a complete dickhead when I grabbed my order.
Of course, for curbside too. I usually have it on around the speaker too, just to avoid any possible droplets hanging around from everyone stopping to talk there. No reason not to. Like, if I forgot my mask and got to a place, I would leave and go get it and then come back sooner than I'd go through without one. I then sanitize my hands after paying and touching the food that is handed to me. I don't go through a lot of drive thrus right now though.
I don't put it on when I drive so I don't put it on when I'm at a drive through.
People saying yes also put their mask on while walking outdoors and someone walks past them?

I mean, ya. If I'm walking around my neighborhood, I generally just wear my mask so I don't have to worry about it every time someone walks near me, and I actively work to avoid being near people regardless. If there's literally NOBODY around I may pull it down, but I'll pull it right back up if I see someone coming.
You obviously don't have to when you're driving around (I do sometimes, but only if I'm going multiple places. I don't want to touch my face any more than necessary so if I'm going more than one place I just leave it on between) but it certainly isn't hard to put it on when going up to the window. That person you are interacting with at the window interacts with hundreds of people a day, their risk is off the charts. By not wearing a mask, you're actively putting them at additional risk and putting yourself at a higher risk as well.
Even if you are just walking on your own or people you live with and don't plan to meet anyone outdoors?
yeah duh
If I've a service worker right now, I don't wanna see one motherfucker's mouth.
If you're not seeing people mask up outdoors or at drive throughs then it's possible you live in a conservative area with a lot of assholes.
If I'm at the park letting the kids ride their bikes and walking the dog I always do. If I'm just walking around my neighborhood I don't. There's no sidewalks so if anyone else is near by, which is a rarity, there's at least two car lengths worth of space for you to keep a safe distance.
