Pensioners on mobility scooters 'humiliated' after being turned away from McDonald's drive-thru

Two pensioners have claimed they were turned away from a McDonald's drive-thru because they were on their mobility scooters. Karen Moseley, 67, and Dian Rawlinson, 71, say they often treat themselves to a cheeseburger by driving their mobility scooters through the drive-thru at the McDonald's on Outer Circle Road, Lincoln.

As reported by Lincolnshire Live, on Wednesday, November 2, the friends instead ordered their cheeseburgers at another McDonald's on Rope Walk. But to their surprise, they were allegedly turned away by a manager who they say told them people on mobility scooters could not be served because McDonald's was not insured to do so.

Mrs Moseley said: "They shouldn’t have done that. Just because I am disabled in a wheelchair. I felt really upset about it all. I have got a license plate on the front of mine.
