This sounds ridiculous (and $5 million is) but it is not without some merit.
"First of all, within the past couple months McDonald's has updated its mobile app and if you want you can, in fact, purchase a Quarter Pounder using the mobile app," Lavin said. "So McDonald's is offering two specific products: one is a Quarter Pounder and one is a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. But if you go into the restaurant that option is not available to you."
This is where it becomes an issue. If the mobile app offers two options at different prices but the in-person orders do not, then you have a conflict.
Two South Florida McDonald’s customers filed a class-action suit in Fort Lauderdale federal court, alleging the fast food chain charges customers for cheese on its Quarter Pounder sandwiches even if they don’t want the cheese.
