Wouldn't be the first time I was arrested. Cops don't scare me.

The police would come eventually. I would win in the end.

I would have loved to have the chance to be that cyclist you tried to outstubborn.

Man, if I was the drive-thru manager, hell would of frozen over before I would of given you that hamburger, because I follow the principle of never give in to the demands of an entitled asshole.

I love to go to the drive through at the Mcdonalds on Milwaukee just south of Diversey. They state that they dont serve walk up traffic, after the lobby is closed. Nothing more. I didn't walk my F-ing bike up to the window. I order a hamburger and wait for them to call the police. The police never show up for that type of call, and in the mean time they have countless drivers who already placed orders driving off without paying. When they finally capitulate, and they always do, I throw that burger out;-) F-them, it is up to the individual Mc-d's.

I'll be in contact with the store manager tomorrow, but was refused service again at the Walgreens at Milwaukee and Armitage. 

If they had simply said no service...that would have been one thing. Instead, they rudely said to me through the intercom "we're very busy inside, you're going to have to wait" and hung up. I have experienced long wait times at the window before...but I think biking through makes sense when it works...so I stuck it out. 15 minutes later, a guy picked up the intercom and said "the manager has decided we are no longer going to serve bikes in the drive through lane. He's determined it's too dangerous. Too much of a liability." So...here we go again. I'll let everyone know what they say tomorrow when the manager is in. Thanks, Brian

Whether or not businesses want to allow cyclists in their drive-thrus is their prerogative. Personally I don't see why not. If there's a policy against it, though, it should be posted to avoid any confusion.

New(ish) Manager John Walker sent me an email reply and called me to let me know he's spoken with the pharmacy staff...and he said, in no uncertain terms, they should serve anyone who wants service at the drive through, "whether they're walking, on a bike, or even on top of an elephant." He was super nice and apologized that they were confused about the policy. He said the pharmacy staff gave him every reason in the book not to serve bikers...and he said he shut all those reasons down.

Glad to hear he was logical about it and addressed the policy with the pharmacy staff.
