This story is not true.
Could be. I've walked through a drive thru McDonald's before.
What was hilarious was that the customers behind us got out of their car and joined us on foot.
McDonalds Drive at night is something else. I've driven, walked and rode a bicycle through the drive.
But when you cycle through the drive during restaurant opening hours, you're suddenly the bad guy and should park your bike and come into the restaurant. As if car drivers cannot do that.
What part of this story seems unbelievable to you?
Everytime I've tried to walk or bike thru a drive thru, they wouldn't serve me because of "safety".
I was like, yeah I know cars are dangerous but really?
I use the drive through ATM at my bank sans car all the time.
I briefly banked at a bank that had no lobby hours on Saturdays, so I walked through the drive thru ATM. It wasn't pleasant but it at least got the job done
