The stink hit the fan for the world famous fast food chain when news leaked that a Netherlands restaurant fired an employee over a single piece of cheese.

The employee was caught giving friends a break on the bottom line when requesting a cheeseburger. Instead of charging the more expensive price to her friend, she rang up a cheaper hamburger.

And was quickly fired.

Of course the matter went to court, where common consensus is agreeing that a dismissal from her job was incredible overkill for such a simple matter as a slice of cheese. The court ordered the fast food franchise to pay the remaining salary the employee had contracted for, in addition to the court costs.
