I think he'd have a better case asking for a menu and being discriminated against by some punk employee/manager since they offer them.
Speaking of this every McDonald's I've been to its ironic that they say on the speaker box in print they offer Braille menus.

he may have 2 potentials to sue
he should also go for discrimination of the vehiculary impaired, as they didnt have a pedestrial "walk thru"
Actually, McDonalds not serving him was a benefit, as he didnt have to eat the trashy food

Interesting thought. Never considered this before. I assume the rules for the drive thru are in place for the safety of both the employees and the customer. Allowing blind individuals to walk into the drive thru at night seems to be like playing with fire.

It said that he has experienced this many times. If only he had the foresight to find out what time McD's was available to him and would just go then.

He could've called a cab like every single other person who doesn't have access to a car and wants McDonald's drive thru

Correct.
This in no way disproportionately affects the disabled.
Only cars are allowed to go through the drive thru. It doesn't matter your reason for not having a car. And a McDonald's drive thru is in no way possible a right of any kind being infringed upon.

You got braille!

I'll allow it b/c I was always pissed at the McDonald's in College Station for refusing to serve me at the drive thru when I was on a bike.

This isn't even close to frivolous in my opinion. Suing because their drinks have too much ice is, but this is a legitimate concern.

They do have one. It is called the counter inside.

He can go inside and get food.
Yeah yeah. I know the lobby was closed. You have to draw the line somewhere.

I tried this in college. No where let's you order on foot at the DRIVE thru. It's a safety concern.

How did he even know there was a McDonald's there? How did he get there? So many questions

Interesting tidbit from the story in the Chicago tribune:
Lawsuit on scribd
From the complaint:
Since the main issue is that he can't drive, why not sue the state or federal government too? I mean, why is he denied the ability to travel through driving? Oh wait, that would be a safety issue. I wonder if letting people wander in a "specialized automobile driveway lane" would also be a dangerous situation.

The suit isn't the first brought against McDonald's by a blind customer. Last year, a blind man in New York filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the chain's "Freestyle" soda machines, which allow customers to mix their own cocktails of soda flavors using a touch screen, violate the ADA because blind consumers cannot use them without assistance.
. . .
Magee's brother Emmett, who is also represented by Costales, last year sued Coca-Cola in Louisiana in a similar case about soda machines. Though that case was thrown out, it is now being appealed.
Lawsuit on scribd
From the complaint:
quote:
18. McDonald’s restaurants a lso provide drive-thru service. Drive thru service is provided via specialized automobile driveway lanes which stretch around Defendant’s restaurants. In order to obtain drive- thru service McDonald’s customers maneuver their automobiles into the drive- thru lane and then relay their food order to a McDonald’s representative via microphone. Customers then drive their car further along the lane and retrieve their food from a series of windows on the side of Defendant’s restaurants.

What would stop drunks for suing? Alcoholism is a disease rt? Well they can't access drive thru either if they are obeying the drinking and driving laws.

Exactly, it's the same as him walking in the middle of the street.

its called a DRIVE THRU, not a walk up
Posted on 5/31/16 at 6:18 pm to jbgleason
I would have figured he was suing because somebody took advantage of his condition and tricked him into eating McDonald's. 
Posted on 5/31/16 at 6:18 pm to jbgleason
When I worked at Canes, I used to tell people who walked up to the drive-thru window to come into the store. It's dangerous as hell to just have a guy standing in the drive-thru lane. I almost got hit multiple times just sweeping it.
