McDonald’s speaks out after social distancing concerns at Buck Barn branch

A spokeswoman for the fast food giant said the health and safety of staff and customers is the company’s ‘absolute priority’.

She added: “We have a number of measures in place to ensure that current restrictions are observed in our restaurants.

“A member of the Buck Barn restaurant team helps to manage the number of customers inside, and all restaurants provide hand sanitiser and floor markers to help customers observe social distancing regulations.

“We also ensure our screens are sanitised every 30 minutes. We are disappointed to hear that on this occasion, it did not appear to the customer that restrictions were being adhered to and we are currently looking into this instance.”
