It would have been interesting to hear what the police would have had to say about this. They probably didn't do so because they knew that they were wrong. I always find it interesting when businesses turn down business. As to what would happen if a car ran into you, I'd say the driver of the car would be in a lot trouble for reckless driving.
I've never been refused service in a drive-through lane. That said, I think drive-throughs should be outlawed. They take up valuable space, pave over land that could otherwise absorb water to replenish the aquifer, and add greatly to air pollution as few motorists ever bother to shut off their engines while waiting. Would it really kill people to come into the restaurant/store and have a face-to-face interaction with another human being? With drive-through restaurants, there is the added problem that the motorist will then usually drive while eating, causing a hazardous driving situation. A gorgeous old house used to sit on the current site of the Burger King on East Wash. It was torn down to build this abomination.
