Except for spring break and holiday weekends, there is now rarely a line in the drive-thru. It could be a 45-minute line back when PI was open.

I would visit The Missing Link Sausage Company for a load of french fries from time-to-time but they closed at 1am and often even before then. And they closed for good a couple years before PI did. So yeah Bill, I have to agree. Another missed opportunity.
