This McDonald's Is Testing A 'Walk-Thru' For Drunk Customers Who Can't Drive

Franchise-McD

Many times we've seen folks go through into the McDonald's drive-thru line inebriated. Though usually they're in the backseat screaming their orders into the speaker while their sober friends sit at the drivers seat incredibly annoyed.

At least they didn't get behind the wheel.

What if you were drunk, craving McDonald's, but didn't have an empathic friend to cart you around? McDonald's in the United Kingdom has a solution for just that.

According to The Sun, a McDonald's location in Wales dedicates a drive-thru lane specifically for customers to walk up to and order their food without having to drive a car. McDonald's has renovated most of their stores to feature two parallel drive-thru lanes to increase sales time. So there would still be one lane open for cars while the other is open to foot traffic.

This feature is only open from the hours of 2am through 4am during the weekends, typically when people finish partying and are looking for a bite to eat.

It was an immediate success and the franchise decided to keep it as a permanent feature at that location. They might just have to figure out a way to be careful of drunk people ordering next to moving vehicles so late at night.
