McRisk Aversion
So, do McDonalds have a valid reason to ban pedestrians from using their drive thru, is this type of control effective and is it actually making things safer?
See more examples like this on our “This Toaster Is Hot Page”
- The warning sign is located at the serving window so too late to control the risk anyway.
- Is it just an attempt to cover their butts if a pedestrian was injured? There are much bigger risks at some stores where the access path to the main store crosses the drive thru and there is no signage there??
- Is carrying food on a motorbike safer than walking with it, or handing food to a driver of a car for that matter?
- Does this happen only very rarely anyway (like their $multi-million hot coffee claim?)
- I can imagine it being funny once and then those inclined would soon loose interest.
- Do people do this because its quicker than going inside or because they smell or something?
- Isn’t the risk of appearing to disrespect the intelligence of 99.9% of customers greater than the risk of the activity? I’d rather be greeted with a friendly face than this!!
- Are people intent on doing this really going to obey some stupid sign?
- Do these signs actually encourage this type of behaviour? Back in the day, me and my teenage mates would have loved a challenge like that!
