McDonald's incredible gesture coming to every store across Australia
McDonald’s has announced they will begin selling groceries amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A spokeswoman for the fast-food chain explained to 7NEWS the new move had been created as part of Maccas’ commitment to supporting local communities during this difficult and uncertain times.
“Macca’s will now offer customers another way to access milk and bread, through its contactless drive-thrus and takeaway service, across the country,” the spokeswoman said in a statement.
“From Wednesday onwards, in addition to our usual Macca’s menu, customers will also be able to pick-up two or three litre bottles of full cream or skim milk, as well as packs of English muffins and gourmet bread rolls.
“Our contactless service removes any need for touch contact between our employees and customers, making it a safe way for people to get food and drinks, as well as these essential basics.”
The franchise closed its restaurant to customers last week and just leaving their drive-thru windows and takeaway operations still accessible, in a bid to stop spreading the deadly virus
“At Macca’s, looking after you, our team and the wider community is our priority, so in line with government guidance, we’re making a few changes,” McDonald’s said via a Facebook post.
Customers can still walk into restaurants and order food to take away but won’t be allowed to sit and eat it inside.
Orders are also being accepted on the fast-food chain’s app and other delivery services including UberEats.
