A 22-year-old man is staging a protest outside a McDonald's restaurant after being refused service when he attempted to use the drive-thru with a horse and cart. Connor Hamer has vowed to continue his demonstration until the fast-food chain either serves him or erects a sign explicitly banning horses from the drive-thru lane.
Hamer's unusual protest began following his visit to the restaurant, where staff declined to serve him due to the presence of his horse-drawn vehicle. The young man argues that without clear signage prohibiting horses, the refusal was unjustified and has taken to picketing outside the establishment to make his point.
McDonald's has responded, stating that its drive-thrus are designed for motor vehicles and are not suitable for horse-drawn carts. The company has not indicated any intention to change its policy or to put up a specific sign for horses.
The protest has attracted attention from passers-by and local media, with Hamer remaining steadfast in his demand for either service or a clear rule. As of now, the standoff continues outside the McDonald's branch.
