If that is all you ever get 'ripped off', then count yourself lucky.

hi .. for most of my life i believed i was allergic to cheese (37 years), recently finding out i have simply outgrown the allergy..

for years i have been having macdonalds sausage and egg mc muffins for breakfast, with no cheese.. for this they charge me the normal price even tho i dont have the cheese so in fact get less..

where as recently i can eat cheese i now have them with it.. and wanted to try extra cheese on one..

now this is where the rip off starts.. royal style..

my local high street has 2 restaurants .. one charges 20p for an extra cheese slice!! the larger place charges 30P!!!!!!!!

now what i want to know is if they keep saying to me we have to charge this then how come if i buy one with no cheese then i have to pay the normal price and not 20 or 30p cheaper as this is the worth of the cheese..

if you look at their main menu it shows hamburger at 89p and cheeseburger at 99p.. the only difference being a cheese slice which as i mentioned earlier above, is 20 or 30p.

anyone wanna shed some light on this for me someone must know the rules on this..

both restaurants are franchised and both say they have no control over pricing.. and are told by head office what to charge..

so my other question is this.. franchised or still under main macdonalds control?... how can the two coincide..

i have been for years paying for cheese i never had and now get asked for nearly 1/5 of the price of the muffin for one piece of cheese..

McDonalds makes its money by mass producing 'food' products at rock bottom costs using the same repetitive process by low paid staff. In asking for a bespoke product you cause disproportionately larger effort to go into producing the product you are paying for. the 20p/30p may be a fair reflection of the cost of creating a bespoke breakfast. Maybe they should have charged you extra for removing the cheese previously

Anyway as this is just a wind up it doesn't really matter.

I go to mcdonalds and don't have the muffin on the sausage and egg because i can't eat wheat flour i don't get no discont. Same with the hamburg i have it without the bun. so why should you for a slice of cheese lol.

You may still be allergic to cheese, don't think the plastic cheesealike in McDonalds counts
