Two hungry blokes on a horse and cart were turned away from a McDonald's drive-thru after being deemed a health and safety hazard - but weren't left starving as a passerby handed them a burger. Jake Sweet filmed the stand-off between staff and the customers at the Western Links branch of the chain in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset.
The 24-year-old had stopped to enjoy his Chicken Legend Meal with cheeseburger when the horse pulling the cart trotted past him and the men tried to place an order. But the famished duo were apparently turned away due to 'not being in a proper vehicle' and a tense stand-off began when the customers started asking to file a complaint.
Jake claims when they asked to do this, the branch manager threatened to call the police - in what some social media users suggested was a 'mis-carriage of justice'. Admitting defeat, he said the duo apologised to those in the queue behind them and then left looking for a new lunch stop.
