A website “True Activist” published an article on 21^st May 2015 with a headline that new policy ‘McDonalds is restricting customers to buy food for homeless people’. This post also added a confusing statement indicated that hamburger chain of McDonalds has imposed a New Policy and preventing its customers to buy food for homeless persons. The second paragraph in this article is showing that McDonalds has implemented a New Policy and restricting its customers to buy food for homeless people from their chain of restaurants. Another website also published such kind of information, but it defined the chain of restaurants of UK McDonalds prohibited customers for buying food for homeless people. It is important that McDonalds has more than 36,000 outlets worldwide.

It is important that both websites focused only for local media coverage and it was not considered international news. Only one website covered an attempt by a customer to buy food for homeless people. The McDonalds responded rapidly and clearly stated that both incidents have some errors regarding the local management from a single outlet of McDonalds. So, this policy is not regarding the chain of McDonalds and the international policy doesn’t restrict to buy for homeless people. The first incident was published on 8^th May 2015 by a newspaper ‘Manchester Evening News’. This post indicated a gardener in workers uniform and assumed that he is homeless. The second incident published by the same newspaper and a teenager was involved in this incident. The teenager claimed that she was stopped to buy food for an old homeless man.
