McDonald's India Intern Wage Scandal Sparked by Viral X Post
McDonald's India faced an embarrassing situation on September 6 when a post appeared on its X account claiming that an intern had not been paid for months. The post, which was attributed to an anonymous person claiming to be an intern at McDonald's India, featured a photograph of Amit Joshi and carried allegations of unpaid wages since December 2025.
The company responded quickly by deleting the post and sharing a meme response on its X account, featuring a sad-looking dog holding a phone. The caption read: 'McD admin right now: If only our actual posts went this viral', with hashtags #memecoin and #fakenews.
However, McDonald's India later denied any association with the post, stating that it was fabricated and never posted from its official social media handle. The company urged users not to rely on or spread unverified information.
