> I would think so as well. Could you imagine even if McDonalds would deliver? Then you could request that they hire prostitutes to deliver Big Macs from gold-laced vaginas. When they refuse that, then you could sue…“You didn’t do it ‘all’ for me!” you could claim. I think that is covered under puffery as well..

Also, the obvious point that the phrase “We do it all for you” doesn’t mean anything at all like “we’ll do anything for you.” IMHO, only someone with an unidiomatic understanding of English would think that. It’s more of a statement of purpose, for why McDonald’s does what it does. More like “[What we do (all our hard work, our attention to quality, etc.)] we do it all for you.”
