I guess the ones on here that think this is OK because it may be a safety issue should check into why we have to stop at a toll booth and go through the same motions while stopped on an oil spot.

I also would have asked for the manager and waited at the window until he/she showed. Hopefully, some customers behind left for other eateries and if people hold biker discrimination against bikers, they are in the minority and fug em. Yes, I have an attitude.

Maybe the fast food chain considers it a liability issue to serve motorcyclists at the drive through window. How do you carry a large drink, maybe hot coffee, and a bag (s) full of fast food and drive the bike safely away? Just a thought.
Haven't you guys ever heard of a drink holder?

Beautiful day in the Carolinas. Rode bike to work then on to Wendy's at Lunch Time.

Pulled up to order and no one would respond over the outside. HAd removed helmet and shut off bike to be able to hear the Clerks responsed, which never came.

Road up to pay window, set for about three (3) minutes and no one came to the window.

Pulled up to the Take Out Window, clerk says: "We don't serve motorcycles at the Drive Up Window. If you want something you have to come inside"

Asked why, was told, same line of BS. By this time, cars were starting to line up behind bike. Asked for Manager, was told to come inside to talk with Manager. Asked for Manager again. Told to wait until he was ready to see me. By this time again, cars are honking their horns.

Manager finally came to window, about five (5) minutes had elasped by this time.

Real smart $$$.

Basically said that they did not serve "Walk Up Customers at the Drive Up Window."

Has this happend to you?

Thanks

When they said " we don't serve motorcycles at the Drive Up "
your reply could have been "that's OK I'm not a motorcycle, I'm a CUSTOMER "
But what is wrong with a home cooked meal, it will lower
your cholesterol ,and you don't get this kind of BS from Wendy's

Grtz. Peter

You are kidding me, right ???
Are there no brakes on your bike
to stop for a coffee.
I've never seen such crap on a Harley.
The MOCO should sue you for installing this [8D]

So when you are on a road trip you like to sit in a Starbucks drinking your latte with soy reading your email on your laptop? Sorry man! When I'm on a road trip I like to RIDE! AND, I Gotta have my coffee!

Back in the late 60's, the wife and I were touring through the southern states and we had a helluva' time getting any of ourcolored clothing washed. Seems most of the local laundromats had signs saying "Whites Only" !

Yes, I have heard of a drink holder. I have one on my bike. Wonder how many bikes don't have one? Is the window person supposed to check out your bike before accepting the order? What about the bag (s) of food? IMO, park the bike and go inside.

on a different note. i'm not wasting gas going thru a drive thru. i park, go in, order, sit down and eat and when i come out i see vehicles that were in line waiting when i went in. there is rarely a lot of people in line inside. using a drive thru means you are payingextra for your food by wasting gas while idling. MPG at idle is zero. fast food places CAN cop attitudes though. i have been in several B__ K___s around the country that when 10:30am hit they stopped breakfast even with a dozen or so people in line wanting breakfast. Those people and myself left. I ordered a hamburger meal at 10:28 am and was told I'd have to wait until 10:30 to order. I told them by the time they processed the order it would be 10:30, they wouldn't do it so my cash and i left.
