RE: Refused Service at Wendy's Drive Up
After following this thread for a while ( too long ) I am reminded of how a few months ago our city wanted to make it illegal to smoke in any restaurant. Lots of talk on the radio about this and the point that stuck with me was that the city was trying to force something on the business owners. It's their business and if they want to allow smoking, it's their business. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.
Now I don't necessarily like a motorcyclist being refused service just because he rides but it is the right of the business to refuse service to whoever they choose, whether it be a small mom-n-pop eatery or a national chain. We can follow their rules ( get off the bike and go inside ) or we can spend our money somewhere esle.

Maybe the sidecar does it for me, but I've never had a problem at a drive through. Don't eat while I ride, just pick of something for me and the wife to have. Get it on my home from work.
Only problem I experienced around Columbus Ga, is that sometimes the sensor doesn't tell them I'm waiting. So, I just pull around and order at the window. I been through Wendy's, McD's, BK and Arby's and have never had a problem (knock on wood).
IMHO, if they are not going to serve me, then tell me from the get-go, not after I've ordered and pulled around. I've fairly sure that they can hear the bike running and know what I'm on.
And on a road trip I kinda like to stop, get off, stretch my leg, yes, leg, and go inside to eat.

It is illegal to discriminate against the handicapped in the USA. Maybe they noticed. Would be interesting to know if Wendy's national policy makes exceptions for the handicapped.

I'm unsubscribing from this thread! I can't take it anymore! I can't believe how many of you support Wendy's position against motorcycles. Some of you seem to miss the whole point of this thread. It's about discrimination against motorcycles/bikers!

Oh for f@ck's sakes.... stop being a whiny bitch. Get your lazy f@cking *** off the bike and walk in and get your f@cking burger or just go somewhere else.
The world doesn't owe you ****. Get over yourself.

How 'bout we set an example by not moaning and wailing that our hamburer eatin' rights have been violated, and just go somewhere else. The world is full of jerks, and when you run into one (fast food manager), just treat it like what it is rather than some kind of full blown constitutional issue.
We have more than enough slobbering, complaining, hyphenated Americans, and trying to remedy a situation by creating yet another one isn't the answer. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left.
