I was being a bit of a harsh hipster there; however, I always think about the sheer number of vehicles required just to keep your electricity or high speed internet running and how often I see that type of vehicle in a drive through. I think it's sometimes a little easy to forget why our lives are as convenient as they are.
In places without widespread drivethroughs they still have electricity and internet.
Non-car-centric doesn't mean no cars. It means a society not centered around the crazy amounts of cars.
A lot of those types of workers who have vans full of tools use them as their main vehicles. That van being in the drive through doesn't mean the drive through is supporting the societal function that's advertised on the van. It just means a worker who does that for a living is currently buying food there.

Yes, well, in large part that's due to choices other people could also make differently.
