  1. Wendy's wouldn't serve me at the drive-through when I was on my bike.
    They are evil. (I have my suspicions they are owned by Haliburtan).

    Do not eat at Wendy's.

    P.S. I know this has been discussed here before, but pretty much
    everything has and I just wanted to share.

    P.P.S. I know "fast food" isn't terribly healthy, but I think the worst
    is the fries, and I don't order those.

    Their burgers are too drippy & soggy anyways.

  3. Do you know of any fast food chains that WILL serve you on your bike?

  4. I never knew that was a firm policy. I've done it before. In
    fact, years ago as a smart alleck teenager, I did a walk-through
    at a McDonald's drive through and had no problem. Anyway, you're
    better off. Fast food is [censored]. Albiet, tasty [censored]!

    What is wrong with Haliburtan. It is one of the best companies in the
    world.

    Recall my fatwa on Tim Horton's? Wendy's owns Timmy's. I assume it's a
    broader policy. Though Wendy's is preparing to spin-off Tim's in an IPO
    early next year. I was considering buying into TH but now I'm facing a moral
    dilemma over it.

    My local McDonald's and BK have served me on my bike in the past. My bank
    lets me go through the drive through, also. The Wendy's policy ticks me off
    because sometimes I get the urge for a late night bike ride, and I'd like to
    be able to stop and get a burger at midnight. Wendy's says no.

    The Mexican food joints around here almost always will. Mmmmm.

  9. Our local Wendy's is one of very few to have a bike rack and good coffee.
    You guys could get off the bike for a few minutes.

    Despite the recent thread about their official policy, I did get served
    at the local Tim Horton's drive-through recently without any trouble
    beyond having to ride up and knock on the window because I wasn't heavy
    enough to set off their sensor. (Normally I stop there while I'm walking
    to work, and therefore have no reason to try to use the drive-through.)

    Not really "fast food", but they do serve food as well and it's pretty
    fast.

    P.P.S. I know "fast food" isn't terribly healthy, but I think the worst

    Places I have used the drive through while cycling:
    My bank
    Walgreens drug stores
    Wendy's
    McDonald's
    Burger King
    Culvers
    Places that at one time or another have refused me service in the drive
    through because I was on a bike:
    All of the above except my bank.

    The moral is twofold. First, that what an employee says is not
    automatically "company policy" and second, banks want your business
    more than fast food places want to sell you a burger and fries or
    drugstores want to sell you aspirin.

    how about a sign on the bike that says "i only ride to BK" ?

    btw, i don't eat at Wendy's but not because of this issue, lol

    I don't go to Wendy's because whenever I ask for a plain hamburger, the
    wage slave always asks "Do you want cheese on that?"

    No, I want it plain. Meat and bread. If I wanted a plain cheeseburger I
    would have requested it as such.

    My favorite carniceria y panaderia sells small asada tacos for $1 each and
    5 liter glass bottles of Coca Cola made with real sugar for $1.50. There
    usually aren't more than a couple people in line.

    At Wendy's I'd get food-like substances instead of steak, a paper cup
    with coke made from fructose, and wouldn't have my food any sooner during
    the lunch rush.

    Why would I eat at Wendy's?

    Five litre bottles? What do you get if you supersize it?

    I'm thinking there was a decimal point in front of that five.....

    We used to have a restaurant in the theatre area here
    (Rueben's, on Granville St, Vancouver) and one of the
    waitresses would always bring me what she thought I
    needed, instead of what I ordered. She was usually
    wrong. Farmer's salad (blecch) is no substitute for
    a corned beef on rye.
