McDonalds Why Don’t You Cater For Babies

Terri Taylor wants to know why McDonalds don’t cater for babies.

Taylor said: “Mcdonalds I have a question for you!

You refused to serve me water to heat milk for my 8 week old baby because of health and safety. Yet…. I could pay for a tealess tea and be given the boiling water!

So I can be charged £1.19 for a tea with out a tea bag or milk and walk around you’re store with boiling water.

Yet if I ask for water to heat my babies bottle my only option is to let your staff unhygienically prep my tiny 8 week old babies bottle. I can’t have the water to check it my self and prep it my self for health and safety reasons. Yet you’ll allow me to do exactly as I intended with the water once I’ve paid for a tea that you didn’t supply a tea bag for nor milk….

Is this to avoid Mums feeding in your stores?

Is this to rinse the already poor?

Is this quite simply because you can?

Because other stores have provided me with the water in a cup with a lid!

I’m furious that you were willing to leave me unable to feed my daughter… family restaurant is what your advertised as.

Share the hell out of this.

I hope your ashamed McDonald’s.

It’s not hygienic for your staff to prep my child’s bottle.

It’s a small amount of hot. Not boiling hot water.

I felt embarrassed as I begged for water. Only to then rethink and head back to the till and question my theory. Which proved to be right. You would give me water if I paid for a tea where I wasn’t provided with the tea bag or milk I’d paid for. Just hot water. Which then allowed me to feed my child.

Fuming!”.

Whats your thoughts should hot water be provided for free?

    I had the same problem yesterday and they needed to have a staff discussion about it loudly first to then decide to let me have some water to which a female member shouted “make sure you take the bean off!” I felt like a pauper begging for water just for a free bean!
