My experience is that 1/3 of the time they fail to get my order right. It is clear that attention to detail is not the highest priority of hiring managers at restaurants. So what happens when my PII gets plastered on someone else's eventual litter? Contesting fines is not an option -- is too often a losing proposition.

I would assume it would be printed via ANPR and then I’d guess the onus is on you to check everything you’ve ordered is correctly present and labelled. If that’s not enough and the retailer can’t get that right I would say that you’re taking a know risk going to that drive through. Avoid them and I the market will make the process reliable.

  I would be depending on someone else to check that everything they have ordered is correctly labeled. That's the problem. If I cannot trust the people whom I pay to correctly pack my meal, I certainly cannot trust some rando in the drive-through queue to read a faded and smudged label, and care about what they just read, and spend time and emotional energy to rectify the problem (which isn't even their problem).

  Why would the onus be on me to confirm that what I received was correct? If they get my license plate wrong, that's basically a license to litter with impunity.

It happens sometimes and it stinks, but it has to be weighted in the overall context. Usually these "no standard of evidence" fines have no consequence besides a fee (since loss of freedom would be injustice) so just think of it as tax by sortition, which is fair

  > ...have no consequence besides a fee (since loss of freedom would be injustice)... How do you think they enforce the paying of the fee? Reminds me of a story...this one guy I met had his car impounded because he forgot to pay a ticket he got on a bicycle (when the headlight requirement was new) so they suspended his license which caused him to drive around for years without a license. Pretty sure they had a bench warrant out for him too so they hauled him off to jail.
