The netizens have not welcomed the move. They stated that the removal of the coffee options from the menu was an incorrect one.
A McDonald’s outlet manager also confirmed the decision to the news agency and noted that the brand plans to replace the items with new “revitalised” coffee options as part of the company’s transformative approach.
McDonald’s manager was quoted by the media house as saying: “In the future, McDonald’s primary catering line will utilise coffee beans featured in its McCafé line, which will enhance the level of quality at the same prices for customers.”
However, the restaurant manager noted that there would be no change in the selling hours of these items.
