So, it appears that the only way to get a horse into McD's is via the meat delivery truck....
I have to confess, drive-thru establishments are beyond my experience, perhaps someone can explain how it is that:
"The health and safety of our customers and staff is our top priority, and for this reason we are unable to serve pedestrians, bicycle riders or customers on horseback through the drive-thru."
Suppose that this room is a lift. The support breaks and down we go with ever-increasing velocity. Let us pass the time by performing physical experiments... --- Arthur Eddington (creator of the Eddington Number).
Is there really an offence of "causing alarm and distress to other customers and staff"? Is that what they charge the breast feeding mothers with (even when not on horseback)?
Can you imagine a queue of cars at the drive-through with a line of queue-jumping cyclists filtering down the inside.
I dont want McDonalds and they dont want me so we are both happy with their policy.
Let's hear it for the horse! "Alarm and distress" indeed: I bet the customers were laughing their legs off. In any case, horse apples in a Macdo could only improve things.
In other words - "we only serve lardarse motorists". Good for them!

TBF, one could understand it if they were imposing the ban because they didn't want a gurt steaming dump of hoss poo out side the window from which they served food. However, I'm betting that that isn't the reason why they are banned, and certainly not why cyclists are banned (I hope!!!).

Oh I don't know. I've come up on some cyclists that I could smell a good 50 yards downwind!

And never mind what they left on the restaurant floor...
A woman riding in a horse and carriage was turned away from a McDonald's drive-thru after they were deemed a health and safety hazard.
Debbie Murden was refused service at the hatch of the fast food restaurant in Alfreton, Derbyshire, after staff said it was too dangerous to serve her when she was in the carriage.
So 42-year-old Ms Murden steered her transport - pulled by a Welsh Cob stallion called Dago - over the road to KFC where staff were happy to take her order.
One route I use for the commute takes me past 2 fa(s)t food places, as I approach them I speed up. Not cause I want to get to them quicker but cause I want to get past them quicker, the smell eminating from them isn't the most appetising.
