a lot of them have walk up windows now to get round the possible discrimination obblocks that some will undoubtedly spout.
I do like the hash browns from there though

Apparently (said a google search some time ago) their insurance only covers them for motor vehicles in the drive-thru, no pedestrians, bicycles, horses etc. The stupidest part is that they dont even warn people not to cycle through, but if you do they tell you its too dangerous to pick up food.
Most of the staff dont seem to know the rules or reasoning and the sign on the windows just says no pedestrians, so sometimes youll get refused and other times youll get a lovely rubbery burger, though i havent worked out in which scenario im winning.

So, going through on something like this, which is clearly not a bicycle, would not be allowed either.

It has four wheels, gears, brakes, steering system, power (granted human). The only possible place for arguements is that it is too low. But then again isnt this?:

I once got refused service on my bike... I was in "race" mode so just had some money - but no lock. I did try again but neither my adamant claim that I was a ferarri, nor the convincing engine noises I made, persuaded the manager otherwise and indeed led to me being threatened with having the police called.

The only drive thru I have near me is a KFC. I have trolled through their company policy and cannot seem to find anything relating or mentioning to driver thru's.

No Horses at MCD's Drive through either (Link may contain nuts)
Some colleagues of mine were in Norfolk, Virginia for a meeting. Arriving late in the hotel, they wanted some quick food. A drive - thru McD was across the road. Like many posters have stated, they would not serve in the drive - thru. Conveniently a car arrived, so they asked the driver, if one of them could sit in the car and make the order. No, problems - they thought. However, when he arrived at the serving hatch, they found not only would he not be served, but the cops had been called. Apparently, the discussion with the driver and climbing in the passenger seat had been seen on CCTV. Thankfully, they managed to avoid being arrested, but got a 'telling off' from the cops. Incredible.
A telling of for what? It's not as if they were doing a McCarjacking?
My objections to McD's drive through is that they don't sell food, just polystyrene.
If I remember the story of how McD came about correctly [1], it has never been about selling food. It has been about selling a fast service.
[1] It has been a number of years since I read the book, so my memory may be faulty.

I broke down in our local McD`s a few years ago just after I had ordered the food and paid the clutch went in my car. So the staff came out and pushed me to the pickup food booth and then to the car park.

I was turned away from a McDonalds drive-through once. They told me to lock my bike up and come inside. I said they had no bike racks to lock my bike to (which they didn't, they only had some railings around the door, to which locking my bike would have got in people's way) , then cycled off.
Might see what they say next time I've got the quad << out!
