OddJob Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 What's the crack with this place? Read some ridiculous story about them not selling food to under 18's anymore and thought Surely this is just a load of shite? Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Suppose it depends if the shite they sell can be classed as "food" 1 Link to comment

Henry Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 A woman has been fined for taking her horse into a McDonald's restaurant in Greater Manchester. Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in the saddle when she was initially turned away from the drive-through kiosk on Bury New Road. The woman then led the animal inside, where it "ended up doing his business on the floor", a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesman said. McDonald's said they it was unable to serve customers on horseback. A spokeswoman for the company said: "On 20 July a woman allowed her pony to enter our restaurant in Whitefield after being refused service in the drive-thru lane. "The incident caused distress to customers and disruption for the restaurant, and the police issued the woman with a fixed penalty notice." She added: "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." Greater Manchester Police said: "The sight and smell of this caused obvious distress and upset to customers trying to eat, as well as staff members. "Officers arrived at the location and the woman was issued [with] a fixed penalty notice for causing alarm and distress to other customers and staff." I wonder if it was a Scottish employee - "You're neigh getting served on that thing." Link to comment

cow Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Can you drive a pushbike? Fair point min. I just hate horses so I'm slightly biased. Why is it it's perfectly acceptable for Horses to absolutely shite everywhere, large deposits, yet dog owners get fined if their dog soils the pavement? Link to comment

But you should hate the keepers of the animal and nae the species surely? It's nae like the horse had made the cantankerous decision to shite where you didn't want it to shite. Link to comment

Niether is nice, but i think that is why horse crap isn't quite so vilified. Link to comment

dervish Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think it's disgusting. Animal abuse making the poor beast ride its master into a den of slaughter. Where the mechanically remains of its brothers are served up in a sesame seed bun. 2 Link to comment

Tyrant Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Is McDonalds the only company that pays minimum wage like? Did McDonalds decide what the minimum wage was going to be? Their "mistake" here was trying to help their employees with imparting budgeting skills. Link to comment
