The change, officially called “Truck-Thru at HQ,” took effect on Friday, April 17, as a way to serve essential workers “who are on the frontlines every day,” the fast-food chain said in a press release.
The truck stop caters to fire trucks, ambulances and other large vehicles that don’t fit in traditional drive-thrus.
