Messages are circulating like wildfire regarding an apparent ban by McDonalds
on all customers under the age of 18. The rumour is often accompanied by the
below image apparently displaying a letter from McDonalds regarding the ban.
The letter reads -
We would like to inform all customers that from 21st March 2012 our staff are
no longer serving food to children under the age of 18.
This change is in line with new regulations set out by the government to ban
all "junk food" for children in the fight against obesity.
We are no longer allowed to sell Happy Meals or serve any child or even any
adult who may be buying for an underage person.
McDonalds has in the past had its fair share of criticism over its menus, and
have continually been pressured into improving its menus in order to make them
more healthy, and their reputation was significantly harmed after the movie
"Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock was released in 2004, leading to the
scrapping of supersize portions. However these changes would seem relatively
minor over the drastic action of banning under 18s from being served.
Such news would be significant in the mainstream media, yet no media outlet has
picked up the story and McDonalds have not released a statement to the effect,
essentially dispelling the rumour.
Whilst it is true that specific local stores have imposed bans on under 18s
wearing certain attire at certain times, this is certainly not a global or
nationwide ban, rather one that reflects the environment in which the store is
located - i.e. yobs being banned for wearing tracksuits after 7pm after staff
at the store were being threatened. A small amount of other franchised
McDonalds stores have implemented similar restrictions based on their
individual situations. If you have (or know someone who has) been asked for ID
or refused service based on age, then this is down to that individual stores
policy.
