As usual, some fucking judge will find a reason to rule in their favor and these piece of shit attorneys and plaintiffs will get their payday, funded by all of us.

I think they have a legitimate bitch, you shouldn't have to pay for something you don't receive.But not a law suit. A complaint maybe.

For the extra time the person taking the special order takes and the extra time the worker takes to make up the special order, and the server takes to identify the custom order, as a shareholder I want to know why the special order snowflakes were not charged more for their custom order! In progressive States with new minimum wage requirements that extra time costs as much or more than the 25 cent discount the plaintiffs claim. I wonder if I can sue the snowflake plantiffs for eroding my share value, dividends and EPS for their free custom orders.

Why would it take extra time to do less steps? Less time, less material = less money.

Nope. Everything from ordering to serving is geared and set up for standard orders. Especially when automated. Also the more automation, standardizing, and robotics are used to control costs in the face of artificially escalating wages the more impact non standard orders will have.

Not that many places are automated yet. Get less, do less, and charge more for it.Still ripping off the consumer. I still cant see how this costing them anything , instead of the consumer saving money on the cheese , the company saves money on the cheese , and profits more from the burger.

Maybe but I was quoting a couple local franchise owners (1 McDonalds and 1 Wendys) who were complaining to each either at a social event so if I had to bet, my money is on their story.

Their store and they can charge whatever they want for whatever you want. Whatever judge deemed this anything more than frivolous and allowed it to proceed should be impeached, recalled and disbarred.

Exactly. They don't serve what you want or like, dine elsewhere. How about I go into a grocery store to the bakery and decide I don't want any of the frosted cakes available in their bakery case. I want a cake without frosting. Should I now file a lawsuit because I'm paying for shit I don't like? This lawsuit is horseshit yet I predict it will be a payout for shitbags.

She won that case because she proved that McD's was keeping and serving their coffee at ten (IIRC) degrees higher than their competitors to "improve flavor" and brew coffee less frequently, and she would not have sustained the injuries she did from other coffees. The run away plaintiffs lawyer coffee case is a bit of an urban myth. I hate plaintiffs generally but there's more to that story.

I am actually one of the people who order quarter-pounder w/o cheese. It doesn't add any flavor, just extra cholesterol. My biggest complaint is they manage to screw up the order and include cheese half of the time, senile 20 something morons. Cheese should be extra and you should ask for it.
5 million dollars is a bit much, I will take 1 million. Where do I sign up

Well...I guess in it's purest sense the menu staes 1/4 pounder with cheese...x amount. No 1/4 pounder plain on the menu and no substitution sign either. So now people want the place to cater to their wants. IF I can't get what I want at one place.....I know this is a new idea, I go elsewhere.

You guys are fine with paying for things you don't receive, you think there is nothing wrong with a business that charges you for something you never got. I don't . There are laws already on the books that are meant to prevent that.
Well yeah, consider the source. You may be talking about losing millions of dollars in cheese sales,over the course of a year.
When you go to say, Wendy's there are cheeseburgers, and cheese burgers with bacon , the cheese burgers with bacon are more expensive because you obviously have bacon on it , which is why they charge you more obviously. the ones without bacon are cheaper because they obviously have no bacon . And for some unexplained reason , this logic doesn't apply to cheese. I think you guys are prejudiced against cheese.

How much should they discount my big mac when I have them hold the onions? Why should cheese get its own discount (or up charge) depending on your point of view?

Worried about having cheese on your burger? All I can say is it could be worse.
You eat there... You get what you get! Hold the Pickles, hold the lettuce, that doesn't mean you get the burger for less!
If I run an auto shop and have a special for oil changes, less than my usual price, and you come in and say change the oil, but the filter is ok and not to change it, you are still going to pay the "special" price. There's no discount for abbreviated orders. If you want that, then I'll charge ala cart, you'll pay for each quart of oil, the labor, and handling and disposal fee, etc.
MickeyD's will do the same on their menus then, if you order off the menu, you pay ala cart! Fuck these malcontent idiots looking to cash in.
That all said, who the hell still eats this crap? It's not even food... Lol

If you "want it your way", try Burger King. Wasn't that their slogan for a while?
Their business, their rules, their prices! If a potential customer does not want to pay the asking price, they are not being forced to make the purchase. This lawsuit is gay and these two victims suck balls!!!!!
I pay for a shit ton of channels that I do not want, need or that I watch with Verizon, my choice. I am not being forced to buy a product.

Cheese is exspensive, they charge extra if you ask for extra cheese, because of its cost. Cant expect anything for free right? except them, when you order it without cheese they pocket the cost of the cheese which you payed for. Its pretty simple . Don't charge me for something I don't get, then charge me extra for the same thing if I wanted it. Theres costs involved. for the consumer and the company Only for some reason you guys are ok with them ripping the public off . Now the consumer has to pay for the cost of the cheese that he didn't order. I don't know in what universe that is considered fair.

Yes you are. you didn't order them, but your paying for them anyways because of a marketing scheme called bundling. which should be called swindling because that's what their doing to you. Your being ripped off. If you agree to be ripped off to get certain channels that's on you , but your still being robbed.

Talk about paying for things and getting nowhere near what you pay for, we should all be suing the state government over theft of our income, taxation without representation and improper distribution of state tax revenue.
Like that would happen! Hahahaha!

this is not about the cheese, this about a $5 million dollar payday for "INJURIES SUSTAINED"
someone want to point out what "INJURIES" the plaintiffs suffered?
this is another case for a frivolous law suite, this is why we need "loser pays" in our justice system. If you bring a law suite and you fail to prove your case, you pay all court costs and all legal fees. all these stupid law suites would go away pretty fast

I already said , I don't think this warrants a lawsuit. But ripping people off shouldn't be shrugged off so lightly either.
If you hired me to replace 33 windows in your house , and I charged you for 34 windows and labor. you might take issue with it, But then I say you had to buy the package deal of 34 windows , so you have to pay the difference . Im not eating the cost of the last window.
Apparently, you wouldn't have any complaint about it because you know its costs me money.

I agree completely with your assessment, however, the in my view, this is easily fixed. All Micky D's has to do is offer a quarter pounder without cheese at a reduced cost. or, simply state, no one can order anything other than whats on the menu.
what bothers me is the "sustained injuries" part. what freaking injuries? is this a mental breakdown injury, did someone slip in a piece of cheese, this part is nothing but a money grab, period
