IMHO, that doesn’t feel much different than getting stuck in traffic elsewhere.
The reason why I mentioned the drive thru dates back to my time in the Canadian military. Military vehicles aren’t allowed in a drive thru. That makes sense for armoured vehicles, etc. but it even extends to regular commercial vehicles owned/rented by the military. There is one exception: Military Police. They argue their car is their office, so they can’t leave it. So even the Police can’t all agree!
It is different because you have more choice. You could park more accesibly, it would never be more than a minutes run away. There are drive thru conditions that could have you trapped for longer. Consistency is really important for response times. Departments should probably have detailed parking procedures and cautions.
