They like a Quarter Pounder without cheese. So they're suing McDonald's for $5 million

Heh.

I bought their stock at around $90 and it’s now over $160.

Again, stocks are cyclical. Doesn't project long-term growth.

Their all day breakfast is doing well for them.

Gas station chains such as Sheetz will cut into that. I get my coffee and breakfast sandwich from Kwik Trip, which is cheaper and faster than McDonald's.

Have ya tried the gas station Sushi? Really good, and marked down after a few days.

[FreedomPoster]

Pasteurized processed “cheese product”.

[dragnet2]

I’d guess if the attorneys didn’t think the cheeseheads had a case, they would have never taken it. Some lunatic attorneys get big paydays on class actions.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Five million bucks for a slice of McDonald’s “cheese”? ROTFL! I guess they could win if they get the right morons on the “jury”.

[fungoking]

Sonic did this with the burgers a couple if years ago. I don't like their “cheese” so I don't get it and I'm not a big fan of having to pay for it.

But sue? That's nuts.

[Rashputin]

A third of that goes to the guys who usually have to chase ambulances. What a great deal for them.

Micky D makes a settlement deal to give each person named in the complaint either two free burgers without cheese or the cash equivalent and list the item separately in the future. The lawyers who represent the "winners" have written into the settlement that the "winners" actually can only get one burger and the cash equivalent for one burger minus their cut.

What a damn waste caused by stupid little SJWs the majority of whom probably don't buy a burger at McDonald's very often anyway.

[Paladin2]

Correct. See the Subway pricing model wrt the “options”.

[EEGator]

Public hanging to serve as notice.

[Salamander]

I used to order a Quarter Pounder with cheese and nothing else.

No ketchup, no mustard, no onions, no pickles, just ‘naked’.

Not only did they happily make it, it was always fresh and juicy, opposed to the dry things left under the heat lights.

[ifinnegan]

Cheddar? Not much call for it around here.

[ifinnegan]

Just looking at that screen shot makes me nauseous.

[Professional]

It’s the single most popular cheese in the world?!

[ifinnegan]

Still funny.

[Kickass Conservative]

Because, you know, somebody put a Gun to their Heads and made them go to McDonalds and order a Quarter Pounder.

Because, you know, nobody else on the Planet sells Hamburgers.

[Steve_Seattle]

They aren’t being “forced” to do anything; if you don’t like the burgers that McDonald’s offers, go somewhere else, or stay home and make your own.

[gigster]

I'm so old that I remember when McDonald's used to advertise that they had sold MILLIONS of Hamburgers.

[Slyfox]

I don't go to Five Guys because that is Obummer's favorite hamburger joint.

This lawsuit is like me suing Five Guys because Obummer likes them best.

[rockinqsranch]

I haven’t purchased anything from McDonald’s since 1973, and doubt I ever will. I’d have to be desperate.
