“McDonalds (corporate) may not directly set the franchise food prices, but it can get very coercive if you ignore their "optional" price suggestions.”

“To me it's absurd that customers are suing a restaurant for their pricing policy, however obnoxious it is. I mean, go to different restaurant ffs! Vote with the wallet. You don't need a committee to establish whether the pricing is ok or not. You can use your feet.”
