McDonald's Canada and our local franchisee in Richmond, BC take allegations like this very seriously.

We regret that this customer was offended, but we want to be very clear these allegations do not reflect our restaurant practices or the long-standing history of inclusivity demonstrated by our franchisee, his management team and staff in the restaurant.
