Thursday 22 September 2022 07:20 PM McDonald's refuse to serve TikTok star cheese with McPlant burger over fears ... trends now

A TikTok star was left bewildered after a McDonald's drive-thru refused to serve him a vegan McPlant burger with real cheese even after offering to buy a slice in a seperate box.

Vegetarian Louis Wright, 25, asked if he could buy a cheeseburger on the side with everything but the cheese slice removed along with his vegan cheese-free burger.

Louis compromised by asking for a McPlant with no cheese and asked: 'Could I just have a slice of cheese separately?'
