See, stupid happens everywhere.McDonald's 'wrong' to fire worker over cheese slice
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.

all that for a 5 cent piece of "processed cheese product"
They have contracts to work at McDonalds?
In the Netherlands they do
they frown on eating nuggets in the kitchen too...
i remember my managers words..."quality check, my ass!"
remember to pause, that's what the commas for...or else the meaning is totally different.
The Europeans on the board can correct me if I am wrong, but I am quite sure Europeans in general work on contract. Its their employment method.
I know the family I have in Germany all work on a contract with their employers. One is a waitress, another a detailer (engineering), etc, etc.
Its standard practice.
It's lib , commie, socio-fascism.
in other words....i dont understand it so i must attack it because its different!
I wonder if you can be traded..
Like McDonalds #223 trades with Burger King #119, they send a max contract franchise fryer for a 2cd string Manager, 2 expirings, and cash.
America s all over their workforce, while Europe protects them and even gives them long midday nap times.
I thought about moving to a European country to work. Then I got married.
