    When Cervantez requested that McDonald’s reveal the standards publicly as part of her lawsuit, McDonald’s argued that they must remain under seal, claiming that they are trade secrets that give the company a “competitive advantage.”

    The competitive advantage is they do nothing and claim they are not liable for anything, thereby saving cost.

      She’s really tilting at windmills trying to get a mega corp to change it’s internal culture.

          I just like the idea of someone named Cervantes trying to accomplish the impossible.

          Maybe I’m not as funny as I think I am, maybe I used tilting at windmills wrong since corporate malfeasance isn’t an imaginary problem.
