Ms. Weiss stated that she visited one of the CVS stores that had a drive-thru window and spoke to one of the employees. She said that the employee stated that if a customer wanted to talk to the pharmacist they would have to come inside of the store. Ms. Weiss asked Mr. Dean to explain how one person can work both of the drive-thru windows. Mr. Dean said that the outer lane is served through a pncumatic tube like the ones used at a bank drive-thru, He said that the outer lane is usually used just to drop off a prescription.
