McDonald’s Korea and Lotteria are suffering from frozen potato shortages, scrambling to replace their French fries with chicken nuggets or cheese sticks due to supply chain problems amid the COVID-19 pandemic, company officials said Friday.
As Kim Jae-heun reports, more consumers, as a result, are expressing frustrations over the changes, as both hamburger franchises have been changing their menus frequently, as seen in their response to the previous tomato and lettuce supply crisis.
Lotteria posted an online notification that some of its restaurants may replace French fries with other sides due to the shortage. McDonald’s has also been sharing a similar post asking for customers’ understanding.
