Anyone else?

It's due to their IRA sympathies.

To the bus!!! We're going to London via Browns in Coventry!!! Bruuuuuummmmmmmm!!

Get a section to stand in front of the doors telling everyone its shut. The rules will soon change.

I thought maccies were franchises so head office gets no say in service policy in that way.

Is that "service policy" a play on words? If so, well played that man!!

Not quite true actually. They are refusing, as did that Tesco branch in Wales some time ago, to serve people wearing pyjamas - perhaps this is where the misunderstanding has arisen?

I would bet my left knacker that this is a load of crap.

1) They are a sophisticated international company who know more about public relations than almost any other business.
2) They are a US business and should they refuse to serve a serviceman in uniform they would find the wrath of the US public on their arses
3) They have ridden out dealing with bloody idiot rumour spreaders and trouble causer such as Chrissie Hynde before and come out triumphant
4) They regularly offer military discounts so why would they bite the publicity hand that feed them
5) The rumour will have been started by a hairy legged militant vegan who thinks wearing leather shoes is worse than genocide
6) If you are daft enough to accept anything like this at face value then my name is Dr. Watson Okay Woggu and I am the former chief cashier of the bank of Cape Town. I have recently closed several hundred dormant accounts and I have had you recommended to me as a reliable partner in transferring this money to an orpahn's charity in Egypt. You will be paid 20% gross for handling the transaction, just send me an email with your bank account number, name, sort code and a photograph of your wife's breasts covered in chocolate sauce.
