McDonald’s bans tracksuits

A McDonald’s store has banned customers in tracksuits in an effort to stamp out bad behaviour.

The store in Leyland, Lancs is refusing to serve under-eighteens in sports gear after 7pm following a series of incidents.

One customer described how he had to go home and change into a suit and tie in order to get a couple of cheeseburgers.

Manager Rachel Hilliker said: ’‘Over the last few weeks we’ve experienced a lot of anti-social behaviour from groups of youths. It’s almost gang-style fighting at the weekend.

’’My staff have been threatened and been told they will be stabbed when they finish work.

’‘The local police are working with us at the moment and their advice is to take a zero tolerance approach.’’

A Mr Scott Wilson says he was refused his meal because of his attire but managed to get served just 15 minutes later - when he returned in a suit and tie.
