    The McDonald’s one wasn’t crazy either if you look into it, McDonald’s engaged in unsafe practices which lead to a customer being hurt

        The coffee was not some unbelievable temperature, it was the temperature of boiling water. Same temperature I deal with everytime I make a cup of black tea.

      The fucking McDonald’s case will never cease to haunt the internet.

      In civilised countries there are robust laws protecting the customers and oversight agencies doling out fines or even closing down unsafe establishments. In the US, you have to sue the restaurant that caused you disfigurement and disability through their repeated and reported unsafe practices just so you can pay your resulting medical bills, and the internet will forever ridicule you for it.

      The crazy part was that her bills were only going to be covered if she filed suit. The original demand was for just $20,000 to cover those bills.
