Lidl responds to McDonald’s JCB incident in best possible way

Kate Demolder

You can’t bulldoze too much of a good thing.

You may have heard that a JCB drove into a McDonalds in Castletroy, County Limerick on Monday night in a failed burglary attempt.

The teleporter damaged the outlet’s main entrance, but, according to Gardaí, nothing was stolen.

It’s not the first time it’s occurred in Ireland recently, of course, with a similar incident occurring in Lidl in Fortunestown earlier this month.

Six people were arrested after the Lidl outlet was bulldozed with a stolen digger. The store was then subsequently looted, while criminals also attempted to break into a safe stolen from the premises.

After it occurred to a McDonald’s outlet in Limerick, Lidl Ireland thought they’d extend their sympathies.

Replying to a story written this morning about the Limerick burglary attempt, Lidl Ireland replied with this…

“Hope you’re okay hun x”

Give that social media team a raise.
