How petty can employers be? In the Netherlands a waitress at a McDonalds in the town of Lemmer sold a hamburger to a co-worker who then asked for cheese, which she added – the waitress was then fired. I wouldn’t say the waitress had the last laugh but Leeuwarden district court ordered McDonalds to pay the former employee more than 4,200 Euros ($5,900; £3,660) for the last five months of her contract, reasoning the dismissal was too severe a measure. It is just a slice of cheese.
