A drive-thru at Fuller Foods?

There's a drive thru window today at Fullers, but it's only temporary!  Actually, it's not a new service, but the result of an accident yesterday afternoon.  Fortunately, no one was hurt, just shaken up a bit!

Thanks to Robert McCumsey and MirrorGlass Photography for this picture taken right after the accident.
