MCDONALD'S SUED OVER UNWANTED CHEESE

Two McDonald’s customers in Florida are suing the fast-food giant for $5 million because they say they’re being unfairly charged for cheese they don’t want on their burgers. Cynthia Kissner and Leonard Werner argue that hamburgers and cheeseburgers are different prices on the McDonald’s menu, but when they order a Quarter Pounder without cheese, they’re still forced to pay the same amount as if it had cheese. According to the lawsuit, filed May 8 in Fort Lauderdale seeking class-action status, McDonald’s used to sell four different Quarter Pounder options. The ones without cheese cost between 30 to 90 cents less. But “at some point,” the lawsuit claims, the restaurant stopped “separately displaying these products for purchase on menus, and currently lists the availability of Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Customers have been forced, and continue to be overcharged for these products, by being forced to pay for two slices of cheese, which they do not want.”

* Ever since the Subway foot-long scandal, everybody wants to be a hero.
* As ridiculous as this sounds, you just know they had the cheese-only discussion at corporate and thought this was a good way to make a few extra bucks.
* If I were a judge, I would sentence these people to look up the word “free will”.
* Sometimes I want to sue the producers of “This Is Us” for too much cheese. (or “The Hallmark Channel”)
