FYI the City can enact mandatory minimum fees, but doesn't have the power to
collect a tax on stuff like this, so that's why it's implemented this way.
That said I tend to agree with your overarching point that this is just pissing us all off more than it's solving an actual problem. I for one would go as far as disallowing the development of drive-through restaurants entirely, rather than this roundabout way of making the use of drive-throughs more inconvenient.
