OTOH, they often have a low awning over the drive
through window with no warning of the low height.

Yeah, I've seen it that way, too.

Years ago, I manged to run the right front corner of my pickup camper into
an overhanging tree branch. No, not at 2AM with a snootful. It was
noontime and I was pulling out a parking space in front of the post office.
That tree would have been an antenna-killer.
