Aussie McDonald's Customer Shocks Staff With Drive-thru Stunt
By Jed Ahern - Commissioning Editor
A woman has shocked
employees at a Queensland McDonald's restau- rant with her uncon- ventional approach to the morning coffee run.
In a video of the encounter shared on TikTok, the customer
can be seen rocking up to the Yarrabilba Macca's drive-thru — on a horse.
"It says 'no pedestri- ans', but it doesn't say 'no horses', so we're good," the rider says as she and her steed make their way up to the cashier's window after arriving undetected.
The staffer at the win-
dow was unsurpris- ingly taken aback to come face-to-face with a horse, but hap- pily proceeded to take the customer's order and give the mare a pat on the nose.
By the time the cus- tomer arrived at the next window to pick up her latte, she and her horse had creat- ed a commotion in
the kitchen, prompt- ing the next server to whip out her phone and capture her own video of the moment.
Aussie viewers were stunned that the woman was served on horseback, to which she replied, "We were lucky". Indeed she was lucky, as McDonald's drive- thru policy is to only serve people who are
driving a motorised vehicle.
Nonetheless, staff on this occasion were tickled by the unusual experience. "They were all smiles and giggles," the TikToker told a follower, later adding, "I love mak- ing people smile."
Viewers were equally delighted by the inci- dent. "I never thought I'd see someone ordering coffee from McDonald's on horse- back, but here we are! This video made my day," commented one. "Smiles... only in Australia," gushed another.
To those who won- dered how she mus- tered the courage to ride a horse in the Macca's drive-thru lane, the woman declared, "I have no shame," and joked that she "just had to with fuel prices".
