Horse taken into McDonald's restaurant goes to toilet on the floor
Published: 2013 July 22 18:43:55 (4643 Views)
Staff at a McDonald's banned a horse-rider from using a drive-thru - so she took her pony inside.
CCTV caught the woman and her daughter taking her pet into the restaurant after they were told they had to tie it up.
Customers then watched on in horror as the animal went to the toilet on the floor.
Police were called and the woman was handed a fixed penalty notice fine for 'causing alarm and distress' to customers trying to eat their lunch.
The fast-food chain do not allow horse riders to use the drive-thru in the saddle due to health and safety reasons.
The policy was introduced over fears that safety of staff and customers could be put at risk if a horse is spooked by a car.
A statement posted by Greater Manchester Police's Whitefield branch on its Facebook page said: "On Saturday, July 20, police from Whitefield received a call from McDonald's on Fountain Place regarding a woman on horse using the drive thru.
"The staff refused to serve the women due to company policy. The women then took the horse into the restaurant who ended up doing his business on the floor.
"The sight and smell of this caused obvious distress and upset to customers trying to eat, as well as staff members.
"Officers arrived at the location and woman was issued a Fixed Penalty notice for causing alarm & distress to other customers and staff."
A spokesman for McDonald's confirmed the incident.
