The police officer had threatened to boycott the fast food chain after a manager complained about giving him a law enforcement discount.
A McDonald’s employee in Andalusia, Ala. has been fired after allegedly insulting a local police officer, who was entitled to a discount on his meal.
“So I swing through the drive-thru for lunch while on-duty, pull up to pay, and the nice lady at the window says ‘give me just a second,’” Taylor posted, according to screenshots shared on social media. “She walks off and returns with the manager and says, ‘Doesn’t law enforcement receive a discount?’
Taylor’s treatment sparked outrage — and a termination for the employee involved. On Monday, the City of Andalusia announced that the manager was fired. McDonald’s also issued an apology to the officer and had members of its management team meet with the local police chief. “What occurred does not reflect the values of our brand, our franchise or the love and admiration we have demonstrated consistently for our friends in law enforcement and first responders,” Eddie Byrd, director of marketing and community outreach for Murphy Family Restaurants, which operates the Andalusia location, added, noting the 50-percent discount on offer to those on-duty. “We express our sincerest apology.”“Way to show honor and integrity, McDonald’s,” read one comment.
