We’d have made a local journalism classic – “85 yo wheelchair user denied adapted funeral car by callous funeral company bosses. As it was, we hired one of the regular taxi firms and all was well, in fact they were brilliant.
My sense of the Mcdrive thru story is that that the situation got adversarial when it needn’t have. As is often the case with these stories, the situation and the players seem a bit confused and there are minor inconsistencies that don’t quite add up.
