Fast food chain McDonald’s has apologised after footage of a security guard mopping the pavement where a homeless person was sitting sparked anger on social media and across the nation and beyond.
Footage posted on X showed the security guard soaking the ground where the man had been sitting with his sleeping bag, outside a branch of Nationwide bank beside a McDonald’s restaurant in Victoria Street, central London, reports The Evening Standard.
Their press office said on X it was “shocked and saddened” by the incident, and confirmed the security guard involved had been “permanently removed” from its restaurants.
McDonalds homeless person
The McDonalds homeless person has been found and there has been an update on his situation.
Tagging McDonald’s in his post, Mr Evans wrote: “Do you think it is acceptable for your staff to soak the sleeping bags of homeless people in the middle of winter (or any other time of the year)? Disgusting behaviour. He wasn’t even outside your premises.”
Watch
AN update was posted to X with an update. It read: ““It was disgusting. I had to leave because it was so stressful, and I hardly slept the entire night because my bedding was all soaked. You can still smell the bleach on my blanket.”
