As a kid I used to skate (roller blade?) through our local MC Donalds drive through, did give the personnel a little chuckle every time we did it.

I worked at the local McD as a teenager and it was always funny to see a horse ordering something (the camera does not pick up the rider). Ours was near the end of a trail often used by people on horseback.

And since horse riders are legally equivalent to vehicles it's pretty much a "fine as long as you don't shit in the driveway" situation.

The “cars only in the drive thru” was mainly driven by insurance requirements; cars aren’t expecting pedestrians there.

>Drive throughs have long since stopped serving pedestrians.

That's a social class and location based. The average overpaid techie on HN who lives in the kind of place where all the houses are a million bucks and everyone buys their trophy wife a 4Runner because that's what you need for one kid then yeah, the drive through won't serve you as a walk up.

The Popeyes in Camden NJ don't care if you ride an elephant through the drive through.

You quoted me but I was commenting on my country, an egalitarian country in the Pacific.
