Two McDonald’s customers in Florida are suing the fast-food giant for a hefty sum of $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 the extra dairy, they’re still forced to pay the same amount.
According to the lawsuit, filed May 8 in Fort Lauderdale seeking class-action status, McDonald’s used to sell four different Quarter Pounder options, two of which came without cheese and cost between 30 to 90 cents less, the Miami Herald reports.
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."
Since this change, "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," the lawsuit claims, according to the Herald.
"McDonald's is being unjustly enriched by these practices because it receives payment for cheese it does not deliver to its customers," the lawsuit states.

Ask them for the cheese that somebody already paid for but didn't want on their burger.

Same with ketchup packets they fail to give you, the cost of ketchup is included in the price of fries so McDonalds makes millions by being stingy with condiments.

I as an investor am totally outraged. If those customers do not like store policy they can get the fuck out of that store and go elsewhere.
In FT Lauderdale
They have Dairy Queen Wendy's Burger King Checkers Taco Bell and for much more costly burger 5 Guys

Web site is read as 'McDonald's cheese 1% away from being plastic'
The ingredients in McDonald's cheddar cheese slices, as listed on the company's website, are as follows: Milk, cream, water, cheese culture, sodium citrate, and 2% or less of salt, citric acid, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid (preservative), lactic acid, acetic acid, enzymes, sodium pyrophosphate, natural flavor, color added, and soy lecithin.
Other main ingredients include milk solids, butter and emulsifiers, which are additives used to improve the color and texture of processed foods.
"If you are referring to the smoothness and flexibility of our cheese," (Name left out to protect the executive) explains, "that is obtained by blending heated cheeses and other ingredients with emulsifiers and then dispensing it onto a smooth chilled surface, just like some of the processed cheeses you'll find in the supermarket."
Best of all is that in many McD outlets you will not be charged any extra charge for leaving this faux cheese off the burger
