Why does the drive thru operator change back and forth during my order? (midwest.social)

I just had two people take my order in a drive thru. They alternated every question. First person welcomed me and asked what I wanted. The next person asked what size and drink I wanted. The first person came back on and asked if I wanted any cheese sauce then the second person came back on and told me the price. When I got up to the window the 2nd person was the one working the register. This happens from time to time at different places when I get lunch but I can't figure out why it is done.

I always hate the auto greeting and avoid the one McDonalds near me that uses it. 90% of the time it finishes with "we are ready to take your order!" But everyone on the other end is busy because theyre understaffed, and won't actually take your order if you just blurt it out and then you gotta restart anyway.
