McDonald's apologises for employee who told coeliac customer to 'die' in disgusting note

A McDonald's customer got a nasty shock when she asked whether a McFlurry contained gluten - a note telling her to 'f*** off and die'. The fast food giant has been forced to apologise to Bernie Bowles, who was mortified when she was handed an allergen informartion guide scrawled with the foul message.

The 63-year-old coeliac, who is able to eat some Galaxy products but not others, simply wanted to know whether she could tuck into a Galaxy Caramel McFlurry last month. So she was appalled to see the 'offensive' words written in what appears to be black biro on the leaflet while visiting the Weyhill Road store in Andover, Hampshire.

McDonald's said the the incident is "completely unacceptable" and has confirmed that the vile note was written by a member of staff - with 'appropriate action undertaken' against the employee.
