For the billionth farking time, if it doesn't have a license plate, a drive thru won't serve you. The insurance does not allow for anything smaller than a moped to use the window because anything smaller doesn't have any of the safety equipment involved. It's that simple. Why is it so hard to grasp????

My rights are violated anytime I can't get what I want!

And... I'm fat and it is embarrassing to have to go to the drive-up on my powerchair after closing to get my sliders, so I'm going to sue you to take away the embarrassment I feel.

I didn't realize that sliders were a right granted in the constitution. What spectacular foresight!

Also, did anyone see Diana Moon Glampers a second ago? I could have sworn I did.

Mordibly obese sounding, subby? Did you watch the video?

Also, all her figurative language seems food-centric:

Wade rolled away "madder than fish grease"

You can try to butter me up all you want to. Free meals ain't going to work," said Wade,


And this:

a onetime exotic dancer from New Orleans

I don't believe at all.

I believe it. Except this time, 'exotic' actually means exotic, and not some run-of-the-mill faketits.

 
MBarry [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 11:12:23 AM  
So because fatty doesn't understand that no one without a car can't get served after the dinning room closes, we're all gonna get to lose our late night obesity.

Although it's not inherently discriminatory against the morbidly obese disabled. I've known plenty of actual disabled who have cars.

I don't drive. I can't get drivethrough after the place closes either. Where's my farking lawsuit?

 
BigSnatch [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 11:20:05 AM  
I don't see why anyone wouldn't break company policies or bend over backwards to help this incredibly nice woman.

 
hb0mb [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 11:21:04 AM  
couldnt she hire a taxi to go through it?

I read every bit of that article and I agree with her. If they are open, they should be obligated to accomodate walkups also. She should have been served, and it sounds to me like their rules are unfair to people with disabilities.

I had never thought much about it before, but I am on her side of this thing.

z_gringo: I read every bit of that article and I agree with her. If they are open, they should be obligated to accomodate walkups also. She should have been served, and it sounds to me like their rules are unfair to people with disabilities.

She could have gone to the lobby when the lobby was open, until 11:00 p.m., like any other person not driving a car. It's not unfair to people with disabilities; they're in precisely the same position as anyone else without a vehicle.

All that's going to happen now is they're going to close the drive-thru when the lobby closes, rather than staying open late, so everyone loses. Congratulations, tubby.

Uh, no. The drive-thru is for CARS, not fatasses on wheelchairs.

I was going to assume it was because neither Harold nor Kumar would fark her, thanks for spoiling the surprise

Well so much for getting a late-night cheesy gordita crunch from Taco Bell.

Thanks, you farking moo-cow.

I think it's time for her to start to seriously consider salads.

I know it's been pointed out, but I wanted to do it, again:

FTFA: The Minnesota Disability Law Center is weighing whether to take on Wade's case

LOL. I love when writers get in a subtle shot at an idiot. Banks have this rule, too, as do all facilities with drive-through service. It's a safety issue, not a "you're too goddamn fat" issue. So go be fat somewhere else. Get there during normal lobby hours if you want service for your super-sized ass.

 
spidermann [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 12:40:58 PM  
Just tell me the next time she will be on the road. I still have out of state plates, can easily rectify this situation.

I was nearly born in a White Castle. It was the only place open 24 hours at the time. Mom and the ob-gyn were both out of cigarettes and both stopped in on the way to the hospital to get a pack from the vending machine. We haven't had a White Castle here in a long, long time. Good times, good times.

Um, that's a man baby. (or was a man)

Video: "I've been laughed and snicker'd at all my life"

And Smore'd. And Hershey'd. And Butterfinger'd.

The White Castle dining room closed at 11 p.m., so she had no choice but to order her Slyders in the drive-through.

Actually she did have a choice. She could have gotten there before 11pm. It isn't White Castle's fault if she doesn't know how to manage her time effectively.

 
adamgreeney 2009-06-14 01:18:35 PM  
You guys really think the industry response will be to close the drive through at the same time as the dining room? Really?

Think about how much money the rake in after 11. Every time I drive past McDonalds or Taco Bell at 1 a.m. the drive thru is packed with cars. This will get thrown out. The rules are for peoples safety, and rightly so. She'll get laughed at in court.

She was there at 11pm. She just needed her 12 o'clock snack. She woulda been back there at 1am for her next feeding if she hadn't passed out on the couch while watching the food network.

Is fish grease typically considered an irate lubricant?

At least she's used to it.

At least you weren't exposed to the sound of jackhammers

I wonder how late past 11 she tried and how far from her house it was. Most of the White Castles I've seen have been in places where I wouldn't want to be out past 11 without a ton and a half of metal and fiberglass surrounding me.

It would appear that she devoured any troublemakers along her journey.

It's like (Ms.) Pac-Man. Just replace the fruit with...whatever the hell those burgers are.

/Probably wouldn't hurt if she replac...no, I'm not doing that.

The phrase is "HOTTER 'n fish grease".

Not "madder", doofus.

And it might just be me, but if i was a "whistleblower," even I would know that this lawsuit is going to die an embarrassingly hilarious death in court. As a reporter, Why the fark would you waste your time with this shiat?

I'm hoping, for his sake, that was an audition tape for The Daily Show.

the real reason why fast food places wont accept "walk up" customers is that it would mess up their timers to see how fast/long it takes to serve car customers, they dont really care about safety

 
Rubber Biscuit 2009-06-14 03:29:16 PM  
Watching that made me mad. Not madder than fish grease, but about equally as angry as fish grease.

your mom has carrot cake in her panties

that's why she's so popular

ALL of the woman from this god forsaken state look and sound like that...

According to wiki, the UK and Australia allow pedestrians at drivethru windows.

Somehow, they are able to put up with the carnage at the drivethru window.

Why is fish grease so angry?

Wait...

What is fish grease?

Actually a few years back I walked up to the drivethrough of the local White Castle, it was late at night I was hungry and that was the only place with food within walking distance. A large African American woman came to the window and told me she could not serve me.

I looked back and said, "But I am really hungry and this is the only place with food around here".

She hollered to who I assume was her manager "He say he hungry"

A moment later she opened the window and sold me food.

It was a beautiful moment for me that I still remember years later.
