McDonald's sued because 'Extra Value Meal' is 41 cents more

USA TODAY

CHICAGO - A suburban Chicago man is suing McDonald’s restaurants in two Illinois counties, arguing cheeseburger “Extra Value Meals” are actually more expensive than when the items are purchased separately.

The McDonald's restaurant in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

James Gertie of Des Plaines tells The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, Ill., that bundling two cheeseburgers, medium french fries and a drink at $5.90 is 41 cents more than when individual items are purchased.

Gertie, a bus driver, says his lawsuit filed this month is about principle, not 41 cents.

He seeks class-action status for a consumer fraud and deceptive practices lawsuit against McDonald’s operator Karis Management.
