Years ago me and some mates went to McDonalds. One of my mates walked through the drive through holding a McDonalds VIP sticker, ordered a cheeseburger with a free VIP coke - the girl serving him told him to move up to the next window and don't stall it.

You could only get one free drink with the VIP sticker, we usually just did 4 or 5 laps so we could each get a cheeseburger for 95c and get a free drink with it.

Very funny.

Haven't heard anything like it.

I suggest you go back again and see who told you they'd call the Police.

Maybe it's an old flame who thinks you are a shagnasty?

Call manager, demand a free "feed" for you and your mates or tell them you're gonna tell the local newspaper about their police threat.

Managers of BK/McDonalds/KFC generally tend to be jumped up little arseholes.

would the same be for a motorcycle? dont see why you'd want to eat your burger while riding but you might want to.. somehow?

Well you'd be a bloody egg, B.K Tauranga dosent have a drive through.

Opera doesn't like KB. Just when I thought it was better than firefox...

Shortened version of my previous reply...

Illegal for pushbikes or pedestrians or sommat.

Bag of food down jacket, drink in hand of tank lid till coast/idle to carpark

Don't go back to a retarded asshole-in-your-face drive through restaurant again.

As for a motorbike?

Never tried, It would be about a billion times easier to crab a park and walk in.

ive done it spending a good night otherwise occupied and feeling peckish. also when finishing a late shift and being too buggered to waste time walking in, lol. never had any questions, though i did feel bad by taking up time stuffing my burger and chips into the tank bag, putting gloves etc back on, wallet away yada yada. also, thank god for open face lids... i think they would find you hard to understand otherwise.

If I had to guess? There's a reasonable expectation that people will be wandering round a gas station, but not that they will be walking round a drive-thru.

That being said, I've seen the Wendy's in Lynfield serve pedestrians at the drive-thru.

Done the drive through thing on the bike often. If you park the bike and walk upto the window they usually don't serve you. They've told me it's policy and a staff safety issue. I guess you can yank the person out the window or jump in. Who knows. So motorbike and car are fine. On foot ain't. Of course as soon as I've paid I wander up to the carpark and park then walk across to the window and collect my food.

It's tough trying to get food at midnight or 2am in the morning.

The problem is that they fuck you at the drive through!

Thats really weird...

SEVERAL times while pissed me and mates ave walked thru drive thru's making engine noises and beeping as much as we can... Even had a drunk couple making out in the back seat for good measure one time...

Damn there goes my 'wallking through the drive thru making engine sounds' story.

Last summer I had the young fella on the back on a Napier-Gisborne-South Auckland run. We were coming up to 600ks which a lot in a day for a young one so before 10pm I rolled into a Waikato McDs for a treat. They had gone over to drive thru only early. They would not serve us on the bike so I parked in the drive thru lane and walked to the window.

I asked the serving girl to pretend I was a car and made broom broom noises until she cracked a smile. We got way more food than we paid for. Me and my son sat in a park under the stars munching our feed.
