LPT: You can use the drive up in a bank even if you don’t have a vehicle. My bank lobby closes earlier than the drive up so I decided to try to use the drive up on foot. I know you can’t at most fast food chains but was pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t shooed away for not being in a vehicle. I guess because there’s no way to get inside the bank via their drive up.
