Judge should rule in his favor and order McDonald's to give him one more napkin. Yep. Also, I thought McDonalds had napkins just kinda sitting in a dispenser near the drinks and ketchup? What was stopping him from getting off his lazy ass and grabbing a few extra? If the condiments are behind the counter, you don't want to be there. Kharn |

Well I'm glad his coffee wasn't too hot. How much did that women get?

Also, AFAIK, the woman was burnt or scalded so bad in or on her genitals that the burn treatment required scrubbing the dead skin off, I guess, on a daily basis. Imagine taking a bristle brush to your nutsack, vigorously. After seeing her injuries on a different website, she deserved every dime. Yeah, the herp and derp about this case in GD typically never fails through the years. It was proved in court McDs. brewed their crappy, cheap beans 30-35 degrees hotter than recommended to extract max profit from them. McDonald's also knew that the extra profit would offset the occasional awards for 3rd degree burns caused by their willful negligence and resulting lawsuits. IIRC, they initially offered her about $800. Also the usual claims of the "millions " she got was actually a fraction of the $400K +/- judgement after the lawyers took their cut. And yet, she still put hot coffee between her legs, yes? Or was that false, as well? Was a long time ago. Well said. She put a container of liquid known to be hot between her legs.

Another herp and derp analogy in bold about the hot coffee case. Putting hot coffee between your legs or spilling it otherwise in a vehicle is a reasonable expectation by Mcds for customers in a drive thru or getting coffee to go. Their willful negligence toward their customers was a matter of degree-literally. They chose to serve coffee that will cause 3rd degree burns more readily (requiring hospitalization and skin grafts) in the interest of profits, rather than second degree burns which heal up fine. They chose to pay off the occasional burn patient as collateral damage and keep the profit per cup as high as possible. As far as the suit for not getting a napkin, the court should tell him to blow it out his ass.

And yet, she still put hot coffee between her legs, yes? Or was that false, as well? Was a long time ago. And the jury found her 20% negligent vs. McDs 80%. It was all moot as the judge threw out the multi million dollar award. It was settled out of court for less than $600 K. She asked for $20K at first for uncovered medical expenses and lost wages and Mcds countered with an $800 settlement. At that point she found an attorney. ETA: It was a long time ago. Just found this in a search. The trial judge reduced the final verdict to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Went to a birthday present at a ChuckECheese's for my nieces. They had a row of coat hooks between the mens room and ladies room, and a short wall dividing this from the dining area. Two black families got into a fight over one man's perceived insult against the other's girlfriend. The girlfriend of the man who was losing the fight jumped in, got the other man in a headlock and tried to impale his head on a coat hook("treating" me to the sight of a breast larger than my ass in the process  )
Manager came, faced them and said "You people need to leave." Now, anyone with any sense would know he meant the 4-6 people involved, plus their children since they would need supervision. Yep, they turned it into a racial comment, saying "You need to say Keshia and her family, not you people. When you say You People I'm gnna take it the wrong way!". Considering we had kids aged 1, 3 and 5 with us, we unassed the area quite quickly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It's pretty interesting how misinformation gets passed around so much that people actually believe the misinformation and ignore the truth. Kinda like how Liberals try to rewrite facts about guns... looks like McDonald's has a lot of "specialty" sites - http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/websites.html. They also have special sites for tweens, Hispanics, and Asians. Although I couldn't get the "MeEncarta" one to load up But yeah, sometimes people pull the 'racist!' card over anything. I just saw a complaint on one of the retail sites I go to where the customer had an account get charged off. He finally paid it off and wants them to erase the history from the credit report. He claimed their refusal makes him feel "discriminated" against. Cos... apparently it's racist to not erase valid credit history marks.

Quoted:
McDonalds has made a new golden arch enemy -- a California man is suing the company for $1.5 MILLION ... because he says he only got ONE NAPKIN with his meal. Webster Lucas claims he was stiffed on napkins at the Mickey D's in Pacoima, CA on January 29th -- after ordering a Quarter Pounder Deluxe -- and when he went up to the counter to ask for more, he was rudely rebuffed by the manager ... who insisted he already got some. According to his lawsuit, Lucas -- who is black -- then retorted, "I should have went to eat at the Jack-in-the-Box because I didn't come here to argue over napkins. I came here to eat." That's when Lucas says things got racist -- claiming the manager (a Mexican-American) mumbled something about "you people." Lucas subsequently emailed the general manager to complain -- insisting he couldn't work because of the "undue mental anguish" he was suffering as a result of the napkin debacle -- and says he was insultingly offered free burgers in return. Lucas wants to super size instead -- $1.5 million. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2014/02/27/mcdonalds-webster-lucas-napkin-lawsuit/#ixzz2ua1tHb00 Considering that the gentleman is trying to sue for $1.5 million over a napkin, when he could've just went over by the drinks and grabbed as many as he could carry, seems that the manager was right.
