In the Simpsons episode “Secrets of a Successful Marriage” Homer gets a job teaching at the local civic center. On the way to his first day of class, he stops at the drive thru of Krusty Burger. When asked for his order, Homer said he had no time because he had a class to teach. The teenager working the drive thru informed Homer that it’s a felony to tease the order box. I wonder if it’s a crime to go to the drive thru, not order anything, and drive away.
Obviously depends on jurisdiction, but I doubt it (obligatory IANAL).
But should it be? Well, maybe not a felony, but otherwise yeah fuck people that fuck with food service workers.

If you are disrupting the business and you are told to leave, and you refuse, then that would be trespassing. There is no sane jurisdiction in which simply going to a drive thru without buying anything constitutes a crime.
This seems like common sense to me.
