Broken: McDonald's "maximum height" pole

06-27-04_1815Gene Cowan writes from Arlington, Virginia:

This McDonald's near my house has a "maximum height" pole designed to keep trucks from damaging the drive-thru overhang. Unfortunately, they installed it 90 degrees in the wrong direction, so that the pole extends over the sidewalk and landscaping, not the drive-thru lane.

Might not be broken, if you look closely someone could have hit it. They are made to swivel when struck.

Actually, it was not struck by anything. It was installed that way on day one, and for months, it's stayed that way. Not broken, yet definitely "broken."

Maybe they're trying to keep out really tall people.
