![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}
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.
I had a brain spasm...in any case, they knew of 700 priors.
Well... let's take that in context. Supposed you run a diner and you get one scalding incident every three years, is that negligent? Probably not. Now let's say you run a thousand diners, suddenely that number gets really big in absolute terms, even though it's the same accident rate.
Micky D's sells a lot of coffee, eventually 700 people were always going to burn themselves on it.
