McDonald's France was forced to apologise today following the emergence of an internal note reportedly ordering staff not to hand out food to "tramps" at a restaurant on the swish Cote d'Azur.
The note was revealed on Twitter by consumer group "60 Million Consumers".
"McDonald's is not here to feed all the hungry people in the country!" concluded the note.(An Unhappy Meal: McDonald's Accused of Skirting 1.2 Billion Dollars in Taxes!)The association cited on its website a McDonald's employee who said he had given some of his food to homeless people outside the restaurant last month. "The smile of the people to whom I gave my meal was priceless," the consumer group quoted the staff member as saying.The fast-food chain responded in a statement: "After a serious incident with homeless people on the evening of July 25 in front of the McDonald's in Hyeres, the restaurant sent out a note to prevent these incidents and to ensure its clients' safety."(McDonald's Hires Robert Gibbs, President Obama's Former Spokesman)"The procedure and the wording was clumsy and the management swiftly withdrew the note.
