A McDonald's in Manchester, England is in hot water after an employee refused to serve a customer because of his appearance. According to the Mirror, 27-year-old gardener Daniel Jackson went to a local McDonald's after work last week. When he tried to order, the waiter said he would not serve Jackson because he "looked homeless". Jackson said that waiter told him that the restaurant had a "zero policy on serving homeless people".

Jackson notes that "it took a lot of time" to make sure that he was not homeless: "I admit I was wearing old clothes because I'd been working outside all day. That's no reason to make sure I live on the streets." He adds that he is "angry" by the way he was treated and that he has written a letter to an officer about this incident. Jackson notes that he will not be returning to the restaurant any time soon.

A spokesperson for McDonald's denies that such a policy towards homeless people exists, but apologized for the way Jackson was treated. "We are very sorry for this incident and can prove that it is not McDonald's policy to refuse to serve homeless people. We are currently investigating this incident and are speaking sorry to Mr. Jackson again."

It's been a rough month for McDonald's. The chain recently closed  hundreds of stores. Shortly after it was announced, the chain's stock prices fell, while the stock prices of other food chains increased.
