Blind Justice: McDonald's Sued For Drive-Thru Issue

(RTTNews) - Scott Magee, a blind Louisiana man, has filed a lawsuit against McDonald's alleging that the fast-food giant's late-night drive-thru policy discriminates blind customers.

Magee claims that the McDonald's late-night drive-thru policy violates the Americans with Disabilities Act by discriminating against those who can't operate a vehicle on their own.

Magee says, "blind people must hope for a companion with a car or paid taxi services to assist them in selecting and purchasing McDonald's food."

According to Magee, McDonald's staff refused to serve him when he tried to order at drive-thru windows near his home in Metairie, Louisiana after restaurant lobbies were closed. He also received similar experience on other occasions as well.

The lawsuit seeks "auxiliary aids or services" to accommodate the blind, plus unspecified court costs and damages for Magee.
