Tim Horton's fail

[calligrafiti]

A man in Nova Scotia is taking a Tim Hortons to the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission because he can't get his wheelchair into the restaurant and they won't let him use it at the drive-through.

While I could see some safety issues of having a wheelchair at the drive-through window, it seems like fixing the door accessibility issues (and internal maneuverability issues, which the claimant brings up) would have been a reasonable resolution.

good for him. :)

Tangentially, I've never been turned away from the McDonald's drive through on foot or on rollerblades, and drivers have never found it odd that I (and generally several other pedestrians) are standing in line between several cars.

But this is Hungary :)

Hungary? Cool! A number of fast food places in the US have signs saying that pedestrians should go inside the building rather than going to the drive-through, but I haven't heard whether anyone's tried getting served at the drive through window while in a wheel chair.
