Amongst other reasons, the lawyers do deserve to get paid.

So, your point is “What we do doesn’t matter, so let's let these million dollar corporations break the law and ripoff millions of people." The principle is more important than the financial windfall.

The first good that comes is right there in your third sentence. Without the lawsuit they never would have stopped, as evidenced that they didn’t stop for years after it was first brought (despite the law being clear).

+1 I’m Ben Small, if the Coney Island Small’s.

Without penalty, the law is toothless. Especially when it comes to the psychopathic entities we call corporations.

If they hadn’t gotten together then there would have been no reason to add those adorable couples and their “how we got together” stories to the movie, and then I wouldn’t know to say “I knew the way you know about a good melon” at random times in my life- and obviously always when I am choosing a melon.

That’s why you do what all businesses do and list the price.  This business assumed they could nickel and dime customers for years and get away with it, and now they are getting sued.  Too fucking bad.  Why are you siding with a shitty business engaged in a shitty business practice?

He’s suing because restaurants deliberately make a decision not to include prices of certain items specifically because they know (1) people are not likely to ask and (2) fewer people would order them if the price was explicitly listed.  We can all recognize that it is bullshit for a business not to list prices for…

The issue is that the only way to force companies to follow these laws is via lawsuit. It’d be nice if there was actually government enforcement, but there just isn’t. So the company decides to just ignore consumer laws in hopes that no one ever bothers.

They only started putting prices on things after getting sued, and even then it took four years. And that still means they were breaking the law for 8 years. And unfortunately in the US most consumer protection law enforcement has been abdicated/outsourced to lawsuits.

He's suing over a large corporation systematically refusing to follow state law in order to make a couple of extra bucks per customer. Please don't buy into the spin that it's ok for companies to rip people off as long as they do it in small amounts to lots of people.

He’s actually been suing since March 2013, the dates are because of the ways the cases were merged into class actions and how this specific complainant was later kicked out of the class action, it’s a little complex https://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-published/2016/a3485-14.html

They always take care of whoever is the named plaintiff on the suit.

LIST THE GODDAMNED PRICE OF THINGS ON THE GODDAMNED MENU. If not, I’m going to continue to sit there with your cocktail lists asking, “And how much is this one? And how much is that one? Oh, you don’t know—can you find out?” That’s not a better situation for anyone. Unless you’ve got something that’s dependent on the m…

Mortons? People dress for Mortons? I mean its no Maudes or Melisse...

I work at an airport and I see A LOT of female passengers who were revealing clothing, especially in the summer. Bare midriff tops and booty shorts seem to predominate, and I have to make it a point not to look to long.

What kinda Man Men office are you working in? Business casual is way more common in professional settings for like the last 2 decades. If you’re sweating through meetings in the middle of summer because of how you dressed then you’re an old fashioned rube.

Um, I think the professional office scene is rapidly changing from what you describe above. As far as I know, business casual is the new formal. My anecdotal evidence is only of maybe a dozen midwest companies, but jeans and casual shoes like loafers, boat shoes, or even brown/white/black sneakers are ok with an…

I take a hell of a lot more personal offense to slobs that show up to fly like they’re going to a slumber party than I ever possible could take offense to what this woman was wearing.
