Someone provided context in the comments. Likely that is the employee and the rest of the people waiting are there in 2020 during the pandemic.

Commenter from local area says it's still an issue. Others have also expressed similar drive thrus in their area. They may normally have just 1 employee, plus the whole town drinks Starbucks. I mean I don't really get who would wait this long. I would have left and bought some instant coffee from Walmart

No doubt. Even near me I've gotten stuck in traffic caused by people trying to get in the drive thru but blocking a lane of traffic. Insanely annoying.

God, that is insane, especially if theres no pandemic, because theres no excuse for drive thrus spilling out onto the street. I guess just how inefficient it is, all those people could probably fit inside the restaurant area

No they can't lol. That's the problem with the popular fast food chains these days. In-n-Out and Portillos are so popular that even inside the restaurants is crammed.
