McDonald's Cheese Obsession

McD's must have some type of deal with the dairy industry. I'm kind of a plain, no nonsense guy. I like my burgers sans stuff - no ketchup, mustard, pickle, special sauce, etc. Cheese is also on the list - I don't want cheese on the meat. Cheese is much harder to scrape off when the highly trained 17 year old senior assistant chief crew leader gets the order wrong.

McD's has made it very difficult to order a hamburger without cheese. I challenge you - can you locate a quarter pounder WITHOUT cheese on the menu (value menu or ala carte)? It can't be done. Try ordering a quarter pounder with cheese PLAIN. You will get one of the following:
1) A quarter pounder with cheese and all the stuff
2) A quarter pounder with cheese, but no ketchup, mustard or pickle
3) A quarter pounder without cheese, but with ketchup, mustard and pickle
4) A confused look from the counter genius

The conspiracy goes further. They have a value menu choice for two cheeseburgers, but not for two hamburgers. Whatever happened to the good ole' quarter pounder? It too went the way of the traditional large fry.
