Failed Drive-Thru

This is a really short one, inspired by some silly squadron discord chat.I have a fleet carrier and lots of spare credits. So I decided I should use the abundance of space on my FC to make more money. That's what wealthy people do, right? Spend money to make more money. I had a great idea for this: a space drive-thru restaurant. It was brilliant!
We all know it's a hassle to land, especially down the well. You got to find a free landing pad, and God forbid there be a free large pad anywhere convenient. Then there's the
So I get this restaurant installed, trained up the staff, paid the Fuel Rats to drop off promotional flyers with their customers, and then opening day came. It was all going well, and then my first customer pulled up to the window. I remember it well. It was a beat up, green, Diamondback Scout with white fuzzy dice hanging in the window. The CMDR ordered our signature 100% animal meat burger, and a side of 100% LooksLike fries.
Anyway, Patty, the woman on drive-thru, grabbed the CMDRs food and opened the window. Well that was the end of it right there. I watched from my office in horror, as Patty and all my staff were sucked out the window into space. It was at that point that I decided to just jettison the whole restaurant module into the local sun, and move on with my life.
In hind-sight, not a great idea to have a drive-thru in a vacuum. It probably would be pretty bad for the fry cook if we went to 0 G too.
