I dashed out the back door to the car and advise the guys if they don't watch their language they won't be served. Three guys with a half-empty flat of beer in the car with them.
Back inside I called the local RCMP detachment and got the NCOIC, he asked if we could hold them there for three minutes. Drive-through orders started coming real slow for a bit, until I saw the police car enter the lot. As the guys were getting their munchies, the sargeant rapped on their passenger window and directed them to "Park it over there." All three got a ride and the car was towed.

I did the
same thing! One minor twist - the local PD kept me on the phone until the unit arrived (small town, he was there in about 2 mins), then they instructed us to let the car go. They gleefully explained that they would be able to book the idiot on a much worse offense if he was on a public road when nabbed - versus getting him in our drive-thru line. We just told him we were cooking some nice hot fries for him and his friends, they happily waited (and continued drinking).
The instant his tires hit the public road it was all over. Never seen the blue lights flip on that fast in my life.
