I believe the reason they don't let people walk through drive throughs is
because its much easier for a guy standing to try to jump through the window
and rob the place whereas in a car it would be a bit more difficult.

Not least because the dangerous subversives with their fitness enhancing transport might actually be
agile enough to do that ;-)

see, you need a white castle. it's a great place, the burgers are vegetarian but the shakes aren't.

... or something like that. often the employees are asleep and won't notice that you're not
actually in a car.

you're in the south, krystal is shockingly similiar (at first glance) to the castle. i have never
eaten there, tho. here.. buy a franchise.

Actually, the time my friend (who was a manager) got ripped off, they waited until the place was
closed and as he was walking out with the cash bag, they pulled up in a car, pointed a gun at him
and told him to give them the money. He just said "sure, here ya go".

They got away much faster in a car than on foot.

Ummmmmm ... what would keep them from walking in and jumping over the counter instead of squeezing
through a little window?

Some places partially close at night by locking the doors, but still doing drive-thru service.
/That's/ the main complaint by cyclists (who may be coming off a late shift and feeling peckish)
about being turned away from the drive-thru window. The food may be lousy, but it may be all there
is around, that late at night. Maybe some day a cyclist will sue because he couldn't get his/her
McFlurry, and bonked.

cheers, Tom

Dang, now you've got me inspired to compile a deli platter -- something I haven't done for awhile.
Cervelat, vegetable thins, olives -- yum.

Those are all good points. But there are some folks out there who actually like, and prefer McD's.
I'm not gonna put them down for it. Love the sinner; hate the sin ;-)

Hi Brian,

Like Shadowman said, they ouze. And because McDs has gone all enviro friendly they only have paper
bags, so even if you leave it in the bag, it ouzes, falls over, the bag falls apart... I have to
bring a plastic shopping bag and tape the stuff in place. But I'm usually at McDs because my plans
didn't work out so I'm usually bag and tape less.

Have a great new year!

Dougless For email, a sense of wonder.

Almost anywhere there are 24h fast food joints, there are 24h supermarkets. And nowadays almost all
of those have deli counters. If not, supermarkets still have plenty of ready-to-eat options that
beat the hell out of fast food for nutrition, taste, and price.

Also, anyone living in Victoria, BC, and patronizing a McDonalds, deserves whatever suffering they
get. Victoria is overflowing with wonderful food, even late at night.

Most beaurocrats would expect a properly spelled form before they would respond. "Moutain",
"vehical" "farly" eletric" and so on suggest that you are a boor.

It's classed as a motor vehicle? How is that?

Your spelling of " bureaucrats" would suggest the same for you.

When they wouldn't serve me alone (on bike), I got some friends and we drove in formation to look
more like a car. They still didn't like that, so next time I'm coming back with an air horn and some
device to spews filthy black smoke.

I have heard that the Pandora Street McDonald's has been a problem for cyclists for years. Many
cyclists in Victoria won't go there due to their stupid policy about not allowing bikes in the drive
through. Many other drive throughs don't have a problem. Any business can decide who gets to use
their drive through and who can't, as long as they aren't violating human rights.

The most powerful weapon that cyclists have at our disposal is the mighty dollar. By choosing where
we spend our dollars and where we won't, we are influencing businesses. I would phone the McDonald's
and talk to the manager and let him know that if they don't change their policy, you will no longer
be going there and you will encourage others to do the same thing. It wouldn't take much for that
McDonald's to lose thousands of dollars in lost business if a boycott was started. As the cycle
commuting rate in Victoria is approximately 8%, they are basically telling 8% of their potential
customers that they are unwelcome.

I certainly won't be going to that McDonalds when I am in Victoria.

Drive thrus are designed for cars.It's called a drive thru not a ride thru.

Again, if your mountain bike is a motor vehicle, do you have to put license plates on
it? Is it registered and is it inspected by motor vehicle inspectors? I think we have a
troll here...
