McDonald's restaurants are gearing up for the Lenten season by offering a special deal on their famous Filet-O-Fish sandwich. Starting Wednesday, the first day of Lent, customers can enjoy a second crispy fish sandwich for just $1 by purchasing a Filet-O-Fish.
The Sun reported that this limited-time promotion allows customers to indulge in the mouthwatering combination of a crispy fish filet patty, melty American cheese, and creamy tartar sauce, all served on a soft, steamed bun. According to the company, the Filet-O-Fish, which originated in Ohio, has become a favorite choice for many during the Lenten season.
Double Big Mac - Double the Fun
In addition to the Lenten deal, McDonald's has introduced a bigger version of their iconic Big Mac. This special sandwich features four all-beef patties and Big Mac sauce. Pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, finely chopped onions, and a slice of American cheese are served on a sesame seed bun.
McDonald's fans will be delighted that the iconic Shamrock Shake has made an early comeback this year. Made with creamy vanilla soft-serve ice cream blended with a hint of mint flavoring, the Shamrock Shake is a seasonal favorite.
Breastfeeding Accommodation Lawsuit
Unfortunately, despite recent promotions and offerings, McDonald's faces legal troubles. Two employees, Kathleen Faber and Lexis Mays, have filed a class action lawsuit against the fast food chain. The women, according to TMZ, claim that McDonald's is not providing suitable accommodations for them to pump breast milk while on the job.
Faber alleges that her McDonald's in Kansas lacks a secure and private space for her to pump breast milk. On the other hand, Mays states that her McDonald's in New York does not have a secure room either, as she is forced to pump in a back office without a door.
Faber and Mays further argue that they are not allotted enough break time to pump breast milk during their shifts. This lack of breastfeeding accommodation is causing them anxiety, discomfort, humiliation, embarrassment, and emotional distress. They seek legal intervention to address these issues and ensure that McDonald's provides appropriate accommodations for all employees in similar situations.
As McDonald's continues to navigate the legal proceedings, it remains committed to serving its customers with delicious offerings and providing a positive work environment for its employees.
