Is McDonald’s charging $1 fee to use the drive-thru? Disturbing ‘sign’ sparks fury from diners

McDonald's fans were in a state of shock recently after a viral sign speaking about a $1 convenence fee being charged at all drive-thrus surfaced online.

Thankfully, we can confirm that McDonald's is not charging any fee to customers who plan to use its drive-thru to get their meals. Sources shared online that this was a completely false statement and that any speculations or buzz surrounding this matter shouldn't be taken seriously.

The world-famous franchise says the viral images of the signs being shared online are all AI-generated hoaxes, as it requested viewers not to fall into the trap and believe everything shown to them online.

The company's corporate press office was the first to confirm directly that the claim is fake and no such policy or fee has existed in the past or present.

The image shown online has some clear spelling mistakes, and the cars in the background also appear unnaturally placed, proof of it being fake.
