    They do! And its yummy.

    Oh no it isn't!!

    I went to a space shuttle launch while we were in Florida in the mid-90s. By the time we got back to our hotel the only breakfast we could get our girls was McDonalds. I think it would have been preferable to go hungry.:eek:

    You are looking at it at the wrong way.

    They charge extra for cheese because they have more costs. So even though it costs 20/30p to put EXTRA cheese, it doesn't cost that much to pur normal cheese, say 10p.

    Normal Cheese costs 10p in bulk.
    Extra cheese costs an extra 10p in cost, +10p in time cost.


    lol you think it takes them 10p in time?

    so you think that the second it takes to put the extra on actually is worth 10p to pay the person.. well that would put them on £360 per hour.. a lil high dont you think?

    it costs them nothing to put it on.. it might cost via portion control but the way they make em.. they start with the paper then just put it all together extra cheese costs nothing to do .. they give away salt and pepper sachets, sugar, milk jiggers, butter portions, jams, serviettes, straws, sauces, dont see them charging extra if you go to the counter and ask for more of those...

    the part i detest is not paying extra for more but paying the same for less..

    if you buy something for a price you want to pay the correct price ... or am i wrong there? lookin at this thread i may be..

    if you bought a car and it was the same make and model as someone else from a dealer, and you didnt have some of the extras they take the cost of those off the price.. why should this greedy company not do that for me..

    no different.

    this is what is wrong with this country nowadays...too many people lying down with their asses in the air taking it up the back end..

    your analogy is a poor one
    many people pay different prices for the same car
    sometimes theres no cost options
    perhaps you should look at your cheese this way
    the breakfast item is sold as a unit with the cheese as a no cost upgrade
    so removing it makes no change to its cost

    they dont remove it .. it was not there in the first place which is where the whole thing comes from.. the tills can have a button programmed to price it without cheese, its not a problem for them but for people like these on here willing to accept it they get away with it..

    when you order it they make it.. meaning then if you ask for extra they put 2 bits on instead of 1.. and if you have a car without the extras it does cost less.. think about it.. trust me it does.. would have thought you would know that being on a so called expert site..
