Banned from a Mcdonalds

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone on this forum who has been banned from McDonalds for inappropriate behaviour for being autistic, Any advice on how I can pursue this? They will not provide me any evidence to this effect.

Was it Christian/Christine Weston Chandler? They were banned from practically everywhere for loitering and soliciting.

Celebrate having a source of expensive crap food removed from your life.

What did you do in McDonald’s?

Other stores have had the nerve to ban me.

McDonald's did not ban me

What did McDonald's employees tell you, you did wrong?

In united states, "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

According to your post, you are in the united kingdom

You could write an email to corporate and ask them to write you a letter that says it was just a misunderstanding and you are allowed at McDonald's

Otherwise short of winning a civil lawsuit, you don't have the right to do anything about it

You could just go to a different McDonald's

if you had to be banned from someplace,,,better to be banned from McDonalds than most any place else .
Much better for you healthwise .

Generally speaking, a business can legally refuse to serve a customer without having to give a reason, but they don't have the right to refuse service on the grounds of discrimination against a legally-protected characteristic such as race, gender, disability etc. So if you think you can make it fly then you could possibly try a lawsuit. You'd have to be one of those protected species of course, and the business would have to be unable to give a good reason for denying you service, such as health and safety grounds. Another, cheaper approach would be to wait until they've changed the staff and then go back there in the hope that nobody will recognise you.

Personally I wouldn't bother, because McDonalds stands for a lot of things I strongly dislike. But that's just my preference.

Really though.

Say people who rely on drink and drugs for happiness (not saying you).

I’m sorry you were banned.

But why were you banned?

As people have said, a business can refuse to serve anyone at any time. As long as they don't give an illegal reason for doing so. That's why they have not or will not tell you anything more. However, they can't ban you permanently without taking actual, formal legal steps to do so.

I'd be willing to bet you can go back, as long as you don't cause a disturbance.

If all the person did was “act autistic” without harming anyone, I would find that a ridiculous reason to ban someone.

Like caffeine? Mmmmmmm coffee.... my drug and drink of choice.

I totally have a bone to pick with McDonalds. Seriously, the smell of the stuff alone is enough to get me feeling mildly ill. I have a bias here. I know it.

McDonald's has a high turnover rate, but, as a customer, you don't have a method of finding out when a particular employee stops working there. However, even if nobody is always on shift, even though they do work there

Some (not all) lawsuits take two years. Some lawyers charge $600 hour. Even if you have the moral high road, the outcome is not guaranteed. Maybe McDonald's has its own, more expensive lawyers.

You might not have physical evidence of what happened. Some video tapes not admissible in court. You would have to get subpoenaed to court for a lot of days and miss work and other activities.

McDonald's could countersue you or take out revenge on you

The cheaper and easier approach have been taking since getting banned from Safeway, is just go to a different Safeway

McDonald's can do anything it wants, legal or illegal, and unless you wina civil lawsuit, you can't do anything about it

He demanded they to sort his fries by length from left to right.

You say you were banned for inappropriate behavior but what was this behavior you were doing?

There isn't really much to go on from here.
