Good, so it appears that it is a them problem and not a me problem. For some unknown reason it trips both of them up. I just asked my husband to bring one back for me and then I had to spend 5 minutes convincing him if he just said the words, "cheeseburger, plain" that the person at Mc Donald's would know what he wanted.
I have been doing this for C for his entire life without issue

This reminds me of when I tried to order a iced coffee black from Burger King. There was a 10 minute conversation on whether I wanted an iced coffee or a coffee with ice. He still managed to get the order wrong and I was given a sugary milky coffee lol
I also had a several minutes debate last week with a girl at McDonalds that my order was wrong. I ordered a cheeseburger no bun. There was a bun. She said there was no bun. I'm waving the burger with bun at her saying there is a bun. She looks at the receipt and says there is no bun :/
So, while I know exactly what you want when you ask for a cheeseburger plain, I am not confident that you will actually get that.
I worked in fast food for a long time and plain was always just meat, cheese, bun, nothing else. I don't get why you'd put anything else on there, especially a sauce since that would be hard to remove. I always get no tomato on things and I don't mind picking it off, it's just a waste for the restaurants. Mustard on the other hand is impossible to scrape off easily.
If you wanted it without cheese, that would be a "hamburger, plain". By saying CHEESEburger, you are explicitly asking for cheese on that hamburger, the rest plain.
I have always gotten what I wanted, if I asked for a cheeseburger, plain. If I ask for a plain cheeseburger it is about 50/50.
As a regular plain cheeseburger orderer, this is my experience exactly. I have had to coach DH to say "cheeseburger, plain" when he is ordering for me. I think some people confuse "plain cheeseburger" with "regular cheeseburger" and just assume you mean you don't want a Quarter Pounder, Big Mac or whatever other "deluxe" burger the place offers.
