An outlet of McDonald’s in Bangalore, located near MS Ramaiah College, has been slapped a fine of Rs 15,000 and shut down for a day and a half after it allegedly served non-vegetarian food to a family that had ordered vegetarian fare.
Vikram, 45, businessman and resident of New BEL Road,
and three of his family had gone to the McDonald's food joint on 24 April, 2012. The family, strictly vegetarian in food habits, ordered for four veg burgers, paid Rs 246 towards the bill and were served the food. But after eating the burgers, the family suspected that something was amiss and that they might have been supplied with non-vegetarian burgers. Vikram went to the supplier at the counter, who admitted that he had by mistake served the family chicken burgers. The businessman insisted that he be allowed to record his complaint in a complaint register. The staff failed to produce a complaint register. He immediately called up the municipal body, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) control room and was asked to give a written compliant to the zonal medical officer. Dr Devaki Umesh, Medical Officer, BBMP west zone, said Vikram complained to her about the incident. "We are a vegetarian family and had performed Lakshmi Pooja on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya on Tuesday. But due to no fault of ours we were cheated into eating chicken burgers. This has hurt our religious sentiments," she quoted Vikram as telling her.
