![There was a discussion yesterday about the woman who sued McDonalds because their coffee was too hot. I was suspicious of her name and decided to look her up. She is rather (((tribal))) looking [460x276 - 25KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/elAJcK.jpg){kind=link}
Not BOILING hot, wtf?
Eh... I'm kinda tired of arguing it at this point.
I treat hot drinks with the assumption they're going to be scalding hot, and I treat them like boiling water until I'm sure they're cool enough to drink. If I spilled some on myself I'd consider myself responsible for that.
I just see so many of these lawsuits always trying to shift responsibility away from people's own actions and it bothers me.
You are missing the greater point. McD's had been long aware of the problem, with 700 complaints/lawsuits filed. Coffee served at 130C cannot be consumed. Why the fuck was it 30% above boiling? Who wants to wait an hour to drink it? They sell 2.5 million dollars worth of coffee every 2 days. The jewess initially only wanted 20k for medical expenses.McD's tried to be tough and ignored her, then the story broke nationally, hurting their coffee sales. Very bad judgment on their part, the injuries were photographed at the ER. The old cunt was really hurt.
130 F, 54 C. You can't keep liquid water at 130 C under normal pressures.
The point McDonald's lawyer made was that any food over 130F constitutes a burning hazard, so unless the restaurant serves only lukewarm food and drink then customers will always need to be careful and if they're not then that's outside the restaurant's control.
