Today is Day 4 of my complaint and emails to
@mcdonaldsindia No response. @FDA_MAHARASHTRA @Tukaram_IndIAS @mybmc please resolve this for my senior citizen father and me a disabled citizen. McDonald's Ghatkopar outlet causing terrible food and structure damage to our business

Fast with food only @McDonalds ?
Slo-mo on being a responsible business?
Why are you giving a wheelchair user and senior citizen such grief? It's supposed to be happy meals, remember?
It's over 48 hours now and no tangible action from your team over email. Meanwhile my senior citizen father and myself on a wheelchair are facing losses daily from your outlet's negligence. This is one example. I can share more proof if needed. Please ACT now!
