    I tend to always give the underdog the benefit of the doubt in these cases.

    Remember when a lady suffered third degree burns from coffee at a McDonalds drive through? Everybody made fun of her but she was right, she won in court, and McDonalds had to retrain staff and change how equipment was operated at every single location.

      And she didn’t even ask for the massive compensations she eventually got, she only asked McD to cover the medical expenses, as she had to spent a fair amount of time in a hospital because of the burned crotch she had.

      Not unreasonable by a mile, but after that case, corporations have tried making pretty much all lawsuits against them seem completely ridiculous. I wonder why…

      That said the dude in the photo does look guilty af.

        Third degree burned crotch too. It wasn’t just a little too hot and she got a little burn. It was extensive.

          Melted labia. They gave her so much money because of course they did, the lady’s labia melted and McDonald’s had been warned before

      She wasn’t right but she did win in court.

      She spilled on herself. Her own fault.
      You’ll never change my mind.

      Idc about mcds. Stupid is stupid. Her action her consequences.
