NZ town bans students from McDonald's

McDonald's might have made it to Gore but high school students will have to wait until outside of school hours for a feed - unless they a have a pass.

The Southland Times reported that the town's two secondary schools - Gore High School and St Peters College - had asked that pupils in uniform not be served during school hours.

Franchisee Simon Rhind said he and partner Cherie Edwards had previously have a McDonald's in Matamata and ran a similar policy, at the request of schools.

Pupils soon got the message and he believed that would happen in Gore.
