TOKYO (AFP) - McDonald's Japan issued an apology after it was revealed one of its outlets had posted a notice banning homeless people for more than a year.
The notice, which had triggered an online debate, said staff at the west Tokyo branch "would refuse entry to people deemed improper," citing poor hygiene and homelessness as examples.
But the global fast food giant said Friday that following complaints, the sign had been replaced, and now made no mention of homelessness.
"Even though the purpose of the notice was for other customers to be able to feel comfortable in the outlet, some of the words it used were inappropriate, and we apologise for that," a company spokesman told AFP.
