    When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I’d arrive just before 1am.

    After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!

    Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.

      Tbf those rules came about due to it being a common avenue for robbery. The logic is that if you have a car at least we have your licence plate if you rob us, but if not you could get away with it easier.

      I’m surprised they let you do it at all, must’ve been a while ago (or your area just recently got as bad as mine has been for years lol).

        2007, Palmerston North, New Zealand.

        So a while ago, and Palmy has always had a significant student population, ideas like; you can get a free feed at maccas by going through the drive through and walking / biking off; tend to spread quickly.
