McDonald's decision to stop selling coffee leads to netizen speculation

McDonald's announced Monday it will stop providing certain coffee items on the menu, with the last chance to sip it by 6 pm.

On their social media site and the front page of Headline Daily, a sister publication of The Standard, the catering giant announced it would stop selling "Premium Roast Coffee" and "Ground Coffee" starting from 6 pm today.

Netizens stated that the news saddened them, as they preferred having coffee during breakfast.

Some said who would visit the chain restaurants and have breakfast if they couldn't even get a coffee, and urged McDonad's to do better risk management.

Many speculated that it was only an advertising gimmick and that there would be options to upgrade to McCafé drinks, including Cappuccino, Flat White, Latte, etc.

Currently, in McDonald's branches, there are signs stating that people can 'free upgrade' to McCafé's drinks.
