Florida: 2 Sue McDonald’s for Putting Cheese on Their Burgers

breitbart: Cynthia Kissner and Leonard Werner believe they are being unfairly charged for their “Quarter Pounders,” since other burgers cost less without cheese.

Yes, really.

The five million dollar lawsuit was filed on May 8 in Fort Lauderdale, and is seeking class-action status. According to the Miami Herald, McDonald’s used to offer four different options for the popular sandwich, two of which came without cheese and cost between 30 and 90 cents less.

The lawsuit says “at some point” 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.” Because of this, “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, order, or receive, to be able to purchase their desired product.” read more

  2. The Judicial Branch and the pool they pull from (attorneys) have created and reinforced a litigious society.
    These are made of liberal judges, money hungry attorneys and individuals who strive for wealth by frivolous lawsuits.
    A corrupt system within a corrupt system, everybody wins except for the stockholders, consumers and taxpayers.

    It’s a racket.

  3. It is a silly, frivolous, abusive law suit, but that headline is not quite right. The plaintiffs are whining that when McD’s does not put cheese on the QPs as requested, they don’t get a price break and are expected to pay the same as for a burger with cheese.

  4. Yeah, and the Foot-long at Subway wasn’t a foot long. The suers lost that one, too. Must be some reason for this idiocy. Is somebody working on their doctorate degree?

  5. So they want a burger that is advertized with cheese, but they don’t want cheese. The cook has to specially prepare one and keep it segregated (racist) so that it gets to the correct customer, because an incorrect order will disrupt the entire restaurant for at least 15 minutes due to a silly tirade from a dissatisfied customer.
    In most industries this would justify an extra charge…

  6. I need to sue them because when I ask for no ketchup, they put ketchup on it. Plus they put only one dot of mustard. Holy cow even. Can’t get a decent size dollop of mustard.

    P.S. White Castle rules.

  7. This is a glaring example of wasted court time and taxpayer dollars. When attempting to file a so called “frivolous” lawsuit the plaintiff should be require to post a substantial bond to insure the taxpayers are not being screwed.
    The courts exist to right obvious wrongs, not because you got a slice of cheese you didn’t want.
    Good thing the cheese wasn’t white, then it would be racism.

  8. The Quarter Pounder is the best thing from McD’s other than a breakfast sandwich.
    I have asked for “no slivered onions” for the past 30 years.
    Always charged me the same and most times actually didn’t have the onions.
    Somebody owes me a house!

  9. I guess eating mexican donkey disguised as hamburger doesn’t bother them, though.

    Grill your own fukkin hamburger and get what you want, you fukkin dumbasses!

    The whole country’s turning to shit right before my eyes.

    Tell their lawyer that there actually isn’t any HAM in HAM-BURGER, either!
    “Ohhhhhhh … say it ain’t so!”
    Something else for the Shylock-y Shyster to Sue over.

    izlamo delenda est …

  10. If I was McD’s lawyer, I would let this go to trial, and then pull a Perry Mason on them; show in court it really isn’t “cheese” on the 1/4 pounder, but actually a processed dairy product with color added. So the plaintiffs didn’t get “cheese” after all.

  11. Stupidity can certainly be on both sides of the counter.

    I had a 20 second conversation with the order taker of a burger joint when I brought my wife’s burger back to the counter to complain they left the cheese off her plain cheeseburger.

    Slightly shortened:
    Me: You forgot to put the cheese on her plain cheeseburger.

    Her: “That is a plain cheeseburger!” she said after viewing the one-bite-out cheese-less burger.

    But there’s no cheese on it. Cheeseburgers have cheese on them! That’s why they’re called cheeseburgers!

    Her: You ordered plain. That is plain – nothing is on it!

    I paid for cheese. Why would anyone pay for cheese and then not have it put on their sandwich?

    Her with a shrug: “I don’t know, but that’s a plain cheeseburger.

    I couldn’t believe I was having this conversation.

    I looked her in the eye with a slight tilt to my head and calmly said: Please get me the manager. We’re done discussing this now.

    Her eyes widen a little and quickly reaches out for the burger and says with eye-rolling attitude like she’s dealing with an unreasonable request that’s outside the rules: “Give me the burger! I’ll put the stupid cheese on it!”

    We never ate there again.

    She looked barely old enough to be hired anywhere. I wrote her off as having her first job and I got to be one of her early victims.
