Drive-through on bike - acceptable? [Archive]

proseuche

My addiction to kfc and maccas + me being a lazy bitch = I have been riding the drive through since I started riding. I don't hold anyone behind me up (have a tank bag so don't have to mess around with a backpack), flip helmet up and yell so staff can hear me, have cash etc in my pocket in advance so not fumbling with gloves, am all prepared, so I figure, why not??? Get the drink in a can so I can go the full combo (ultimate combo if I'm super hungry). Have even gotten a sundae (and got that motherfucker home in one piece, I am AWESOME, drive through man owes me $10 cept I can't prove I got it home because...well obviously...I ate it).

But anyway, I always feel funny doing it. Like I'm doing something slightly naughty. And I've never seen any other bikes riding through, ever. Does anyone else do it?

And for those nutgoblins who are about to crack out a version of "KFC/McD's at any time is unacceptable" - you are a dirty hippie and your opinion means nothing so don't even bother.

I don't know. I just feel a little odd doing it.

Maybe I just subconsciously wanted to tell that story about the sundae.

KFC is unacceptable at any time. McD's can be passable at times. Just seeing the sort of people that eat at KFC puts me off! Haven't actually felt the urge to go through drive through yet. As i don't have a flip up helmet i doubt they would be able to hear me. I have heard some stories of people being denied service at drive thrus on bikes.

I've got a semi-funny story about KFC. My faltmates and I got it one evening and one of my mates found a god-awful cyst looking thing in his chicken...... none of us could work out what it was but its was absolutely disgusting. It looked like some kind of tumor that had been growing on the chicken or something. Grossed us out so bad we chucked the rest of it away and vowed never to eat that shit ever again........... following week, "Lets get KFC for dinner!".

ive done it once at some stupid hour. wouldnt do it often though... if the doors are open, i prefer to park the bike and go in. frozen cokes are awesome at travelling via motorbike.

I used to live next to mc d's and they were only drive through after 12. I went through a couple of times after coming home from town, everyone inside found it hilarious. Ahhh good times. But if I didn't live 10m from Mc D's there's no way I'd do it!

Drive through on bike? Why not, at my local maccas its drivethrough after 11 or something, and people walk it all the time, so a bikes gotta be less ghetto then that :lol:

LOL,
After getting covered in dirt watching the grass enduro on Saturday, it was suggested to me to go through the car wash on the bike....
May as well have!

Yes, I have done Drive through McD's on a bike.
A mates wife was serving, and she said, "Trust You, the first bike I have served at the drive through".
The outlet was only a few months old at the time....

One of my favourite quotes...but remember you cant do this through the Drive Thru..

"Entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food, you're just going to the bog. If challenged by a pimply staff member, your declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is known as aMcShit with Lies.
I'm just off for a McShit."

Disgusting food! Both outlets...

How can one maintain 'a bod' with that greasy stuff? And what about your poor insides? Ewwww....

And no, I'd never use the drive-through on the bike, FWIW.... Naughty, naughty ;)

There's this thing called exercise, some people haven't heard of it or don't understand how it works so they go to their doctor and get some drugs.

Anyway a mate once walked into mcd's to order a combo then paid for it with a huge handful of 5c pieces. The till jockey was going to refuse to count it but the guy reminded him that it was in fact legal currency so he had to.

The till jockey is perfectly entitled to refuse him service. Its entirely legal to refuse someone service for any reason so long as its not based in discrimination. We do it all the time :bleh:

Apparently they are allowed to refuse you service for that too...
There was a case where a lady wasn't allowed to take her mobility scooter through the drive through due to OSH.
Never mind the poor dear couldn't actually maneuver it around the pokey restaurant (and to be fair a potential danger to the customers anyway).

I have walked through the KFC drive through in the town where Manfeild is, as there was some issue with the Restaurant itself... Can't remember what it was though....

You have to after midnight if you walked there. They'll serve you, they'll only be surprised if you're not drunk or high.

At a certain Waikato McDs they made me walk thru the drive through to get served. I got their attention by parking across the drive through entrance. This was around midnight. The till jockey told me she was terrified of losing her job. There had been some kind of trouble earlier that night.

But I still got my feed.

I reckon that as long as you aren't holding up the works, or creating arseloads of extra work for the minimum wagers (which would probably also count as holding up the works) you should be fine.

I tend to go thru the drive thru - not on the bike (yet) because usually I take one look at the filth accumulated on and around the tables in the "restaurant" and nearly hurl. In fact last easter we had been camping at Waikaremoana, and ccoming back thru Napier decided it would be nice to sit at an actual table & chairs, but we were in kind of a hurry to get back on the road (took long way home). Walked into the Napier KFC and the place looked like Haiti does now, so turned around and walked straight back out. Ended up 'dining' with a noisy bunch of boy racers at BK.

I walked through the Maccas Drive thru in North Ryde, Sydney after the Manager told me the counter was closed but He'd happily serve me there. In my state I was quite happy to do that!

When you get your order, is it then that you think ''well that was a silly idea wasn't it?"

My maccas story.

Was with a mate, one of those ones where you just piss yourself laughing with over nothing, we had had a smoke, pulled into the maccas drive through. (in Hamilton)

No word of a lie, we order our meals, then the speaker box pipes up "aaaaannnnndddd theeeennnn!!!!!!" in an obviously put on asian accent......Obviously the guy must have heard us, but I was a mess for a good 10 mins after that!

It's easy. You can even do it with a drink in one hand. All the way back to work.

I usually keep my EFTPOS in my bike jacket, so I just cram the fucking bag in there till I get to where I got. Or use a bag? Or hold it against the palm and throttle, then putt to your preferred 'Nature watching' post.

My drive thru story...
Many years ago,a mate of mine had a hell night on the large,has a snooze,wakes up at around 9am,starving as so decides to head off down to Wendy's,pulls up at the drive thru only to see it's another half hour before opening time....and promptly dozes off...
Wakes up at 3 in the arvo...a couple of staff members had pushed his car into the carpark...mate walks into the restaurant red faced to see the Manager standing there dangling his car keys with a smirk on his face,haha nice work Wendy's!

When they first opened up them drive throughs, friend of mine drove his Vauxhall Victor through backwards (quite adeptly I might add). HE was alone and the only extra time he took was scrambling over to the passenger seat so he could pay, collect his order. Sadly, he was told he wasn't the first to do that and the drive through had only been open a few weeks. Said Victor also managed to also McSpew its radiator contents through the new drive through.

My Dad (the king of no common sense), tried to take a horsefloat through one (god knows why - too lazy to unhitch it) and nearly got stuck. HE did actually manage it (Johnsonville McD's if anyone knows - I right crescenty bastard of a drive through with big retaining wall on one side and McCrappers building on the other). I suspect my Dad had a lasting effect as they later put up a sign saying "no trailers".

As far as a bike, sounds like all you need to install is a cup holder and long straw (one of those V8 / F1 drinking contraptions) so you can suck as you go. Might also want to tin foil line your tank bag to keep the food luke warm (as per serving temperature) until you can stop and down it.

A few years back a mate did that and the only comment from the girl after "move up to the next window" was "don't stall it".

Usually I stop and go in because they fuck you at the drive through.

After I get home the important thing is to leave the top box open overnight to air out, otherwise it smells like KFC/Pizza/Burgers the next time you open it.
