I don't think he was driving, I think his argument is that because he wasn't driving he wasn't allowed to use the drive thru by walking thru it.........and, he wasn't driving because he was blind
seems like stretch
they aren't denying a blind person, they don't allow anyone without a vehicle to be serviced in the drive thru
if eating at McD's, it would probably be best if he lost his sense of taste

Possibly the drive thru has longer hours than the lobby. I would guess his point is that he couldn't make his transaction because the lobby was closed, but I still don't find this acceptable for using the drive thru. Too many other liability issues here. Couldn't a friend drive him thru? We think we are doing a service by opening the drive thru 1/2 hour earlier and keeping it open 1/2 hour later, and this is what happens: someone points out that it is not a service they can take advantage of.

Old Tyme I think you are on to it.
1. The guy has no friends, so has no choice but to walk 2. The McD policy discriminates against anyone who does not have a vehicle to drive thru. 3. The story says the workers laughed at him, this probably pi$$ed him off, thus stirring the law suit.

Pulling people out of the ditc...

hey, this guy is in my hometown...there is no mcdonald's in this area that is walking distance for anyone from a neighborhood, much less a blind man (or anyone else) at night after the doors close at 10...there are no sidewalks, 2 of the 3 mcdonald's are on state highways, the 3rd on the busiest street in town...with no safe passage for anyone walking

In HS, during game trips, the bus driver always went to mcd's since bus drivers eat free there. Any how, since the bus was filled and the boys always had to sit in the back, by the time we got off the bus, the line was huge inside. My buddy and I always went up to the drive thru window and ordered. I can only think of a couple times getting turned away. Of course back then, there was only one window and there was a "Gas station dinger" you jumped on to make it ding inside.
