donizme Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 This has got be one the funniest things I have ever read... :o :lmao:A McDonald's outlet in the Netherlands was wrong to sack an employee for giving a colleague a piece of cheese on a hamburger, a court has ruled. The waitress was fired last March after she sold a hamburger to a co-worker who then asked for cheese, which she added. The fast-food chain argued this turned the hamburger into a cheeseburger, and so she should have charged more. But Leeuwarden district court ruled a written warning would have been more appropriate. McDonald's was ordered to pay the former employee more than 4,200 euros ($5,900; £3,660) for the last five months of her contract. The fast-food chain had argued that the waitress - who was employed at a branch in the northern town of Lemmer - had broken staff rules prohibiting free gifts to family, friends or colleagues. But the court said in its written judgement: "The dismissal was too severe a measure. It is just a slice of cheese," reports AFP news agency.The ruling comes days after McDonald's reported an increase in net profits by almost a quarter in the last three months of 2009.

HX1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thats just ridiculous.. You know some rules are there with favorable regard to the purpose they serve.. but using it to unjustly terminate the employment .. is crazy.. besides that I think a piece of cheese used to cost $0.15 .. extra ( 16 years ago ).. McDonald's managers seem to be a little weird sometimes anyway.. Truthfully I believe it is the method in which they use to fire employees making over minimum wage..to keep lower paid individual who are fresh and willing to do too much for the pay..
