McDonald’s does not have enough potatoes – level 2
12-01-2022 15:00
The Fast-food company McDonald’s is running out of potatoes in Japan, so the company decided to sell only small portions of its fries. McDonald’s will not sell the medium or large portions of fries for about one month.
The reason is that the company brings potatoes from Canada. In recent weeks, the weather was bad in some parts of Canada. There were heavy snowstorms as well as floods. McDonald’s already had problems with potatoes in December with almost all 2,900 restaurants in Japan. This time, there were problems because of the weather in Canada and problems at sea.
The company said that it would give a discount on its menus, and it would not sell the evening menu with fries and chicken nuggets until the situation was better again.
Difficult words: run out (to have very little or nothing left), portion (the amount of food a person can eat), discount (when shops sell something for a lower price than usual).
