Lawsuit Says McDonald’s Value Meals Are More Expensive Ordering Combo Items Separately.
Plaintiff claims it would be cheaper to order combo items separately.
One man is questioning the value of McDonald’s MCD 0.11% combo deals in court.
James Gertie of Des Plaines, Ill., has filed a consumer fraud class action against a Chicago-area McDonald’s franchisee’s pricing of value meals, the Cook County Register reports. The suit says that its pricing of the “Extra Value Meal”—which includes two cheeseburgers, fries and a drink—is 41 cents more expensive than if customers ordered the items separately.
