McDonald's worker demands mother pay for water consumed by daughter vomiting after chemotherapy session
In a shocking report, a mother claimed she was told to pay for a bottle of water at a McDonald's moments after her cancer-stricken daughter, 7, who is undergoing chemotherapy and was vomiting, drank the water in desperation. After a round of chemotherapy, Beth King took her daughter Lola Griffiths-King to a McDonald's in Merseyside in the UK, as a reward. Soon after they reached the restaurant, Lola felt nauseous and began vomiting after the exhausting treatment on the morning of October 6. Lola was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January, which she suffered from since birth, and has struggled to eat due to the disease.
At around 3.30 pm that day, the seven-year-old asked her mother to be taken to a McDonald's with her sister Stella, 5. In a conversation with the Liverpool Echo, Beth stated that her daughter is rarely hungry since she started undergoing "intense chemotherapy" sessions. "Lola said she wanted to go to McDonald's and I said I'd take her because of her condition. She has zero energy and a low appetite so if she wants something, I tend to let her have it," she said.
