why are your kitchen shears so dirty that you can’t use them on food, as intended?

I mean, a contract is just a mutual promise that’s enforceable. This would make a great law school hypo. On the one hand, it doesn’t seem like there was actually consideration on this guy’s party, or that it wasn’t necessarily contemplated, on the other, if I were his lawyer, I’d argue that it was a settlement and…

Offer + acceptance + consideration = contract

I actually don’t think this would be that hard to fight. Because BK had already given him the free food on a number of occasions, that’s an implicit acknowledgement of the agreement they made which takes away the “he said she said” defense that you might normally have against a verbal contract.

Incorrect, verbal contracts can be held up in court.

It is a significantly larger task, like the difference between climbing Everest and driving up one of those large wide speedbumps, but it is still doable.

The manager made the offer and consideration. The offer was not rescinded before the guy accepted it. That’s a contract. Both parties performed on the contract until December 28th when the contract was revoked. Unless BK can show the manager wasn’t an agent with the authority to make that offer then there absolutely…

If a service is to last more than a year, or the value of the thing being sold is over $500, then it generally needs to be in writing.

A promise is a verbal contract, by definition. It’s also a contract that Burger King’s representatives and employees were honoring, demonstrating Burger King’s understanding of, and agreement to, the contract.

It’ll be hard to fight, but verbal contracts exist and are legally binding.

A friend of mine posted a tweet/headline from CBS news a little while ago about a man who saved another man from a car accident. The savior missed a job interview to do so and apparently lost his shirt in the process. The man also happened to be an ex-convict.

I’m not taking Brooner’s side, but I fail to see how a twenty-odd year old sexual assault conviction is relevant to this matter...

I still can’t believe this asshole has an incredibly lucrative career because turned the phrase “practice makes perfect” into a 10,000-word book.

It’s the defenses fault for getting burnered. 

Dude, everyone can see your comment history. Derrick Rose doesn’t give a shit that you’re out here fighting the Internet for him. Find something more productive to do.

I can tell you’ve been following soccer for, like, HOURS.

I’m proud to be among the first to say that this looks like a dreadful and woeful mistake.

Andy Reid: This is really nice.
Assistant Coach: Yeah, check out the formation.
Reid: What’s this?
Assistant: The... clock in the corner?
Reid: Yeah, it keeps counting down.
Assistant: That’s the game clock.
Reid: How do we stop it?
Assistant: [stares]
Reid: [stares]
Assistant: ...you call timeout.
Reid: [looks for pause button]

...which is part of what caused the election headache in 2000, as people started calling Florida when the main wang finished voting and didn’t wait for the more conservative other wang.

If they move the clocks one hour forward, then the sun comes up later. If the sun comes up later, that’s less time it can melt the polar ice caps. Less ice melting means less sea level rising, which means Florida won’t be underwater for like another million years.
