There was an online hoax last week involving a sign that said McDonald's discriminates against African-American customers with a $1.50 surcharge.
According to reports, the picture is causing a stir for the restaurant's PR and social media teams since the picture began circulating last week.
What may look official may not be because when you dial the toll-free number given at the bottom of the sign, it connects you to KFC.
#reallymcdonalds became a trending topic on Twitter as the picture started spreading all over the internet. I even got the picture forwaded to my cellphone.
McDonald's sent a tweet of its own on Saturday, "That pic is a senseless & ignorant hoax McD's values ALL our customers. Diversity runs deep in our culture on both sides of the counter."
