Anyone know why people order fast food from like 20 miles away?

Kind of a nothing post, I know, but I drive overnights mostly and it’s become a nightly occurrence that I’ll get a request to take a drive-through order someplace absurdly far away—as an example, tonight I got back to back pings for the Wendy’s in Salem NH going to Lowell and Billerica MA, both of which are over a half hour away. Like, I’d get it if it wasn’t a chain restaurant or something, but there’s easily a dozen Wendy’s closer to those guys.

I know this probably has a super unsatisfying answer, like “they are idiots,” but dealing with it and not knowing the reason had mildly annoyed me enough to throw the question out there.
