McDonald's Taiwan apologises for disabled customer row

McDonald's Taiwan on Wednesday apologised after one of its outlets called the police to remove a woman with Down's syndrome, triggering protests from disabled groups who accused the fast food giant of discrimination…Wang, was trying to buy ice cream last week when a store manager called the police claiming that a homeless person was causing a commotion. "I think it's very improper that the restaurant contacted the police to handle the matter in this isolated case," a spokeswoman for McDonald's Taiwan told reporters…"I apologise that this caused an unpleasant dining experience for Ms Wang and I thank Ms Wang…for accepting our apology," she said…"We are saddened and we regret that McDonald's which usually gives the impression of 'customers first' treats disabled people in this way," said Taiwan's Foundation for Down Syndrome.
