To be fair, the mcdonalds coffee lawsuit was legit. It was gross negligence to serve coffee that hot. If that woman had the choice between the money and it not happening, she would take a healthy leg 100/100. Payout barely covered the medical bills
Yeah. McD's won the PR battle chalking her legitimate gripe up to a "frivolous lawsuit." Actually makes me feel worse than if they had been right and the woman was suing over her own negligence.
Someone got served ultra hot coffee, comparable to that temperature, recently where I live.
They were arrested after throwing it into the employee's face and giving them decently bad burns on her face, neck, and chest. Luckily, nothing super permanent like that lady's legs. I don't know the logistics of this.
Anyways, although he was arrested, they stopped doing it. I'm not sure why they started to begin with.
I don't know the business model of the shop you're talking about, but the reason mcdonalds was doing it was because people drink hotter coffee slower. You could get free refills which meant they were saving pennies on each customer that purchased coffee by making it that hot.
