I can’t be upset with the guy. Airlines are assholes, and they advertised champagne. And there is plenty of legit champagne out there that is plenty affordable for bulk purchase by an airline. So, I’m on the side of the customer that was cheated by the airline even if it was over champagne vs sparkling wine.

Your dad deserved the shit he got because he raised an asshole.

Maybe the woman fought harder than your father did. Maybe she chose smarter lawyers than your father did. Maybe your lawyers are trying to blame the woman for your own failure to get the settlement you wanted.

Are you kidding? You remove the lid to add sugars. But so what? What if she had drank it? That’s what it’s for

People are crazy?

NO. Read the facts of the fucking case. She an elderly woman who got third god damn degree burns. COFFEE SHOULD NOT BE SERVED BOILING.

McDonalds disabled the safety features on its coffee machines to save money, knowingly serving a dangerous product as a result. Coffee spills; show me a coffee drinker who hasn’t spilled his/her drink. at some point. The result of such a spill should be a stain and a little stinging, not the smell of melting flesh,…

Except that spilling coffee is a foreseeable risk, and manufacturers who sell products that cause serious injuries in foreseeable instances without proper safety guards and adequate warnings (labeling a coffee “hot” when it is hot enough to burn through jeans and skin is not an adequate warning) are negligent and…

Are you trolling or did you seriously not see the multiple comments explaining how the woman ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH SEVERE BURNS ANd $20K IN BILLS because McD’s made a little bit more money with super heated coffee they could sell faster?

Anyone who talks shit about this woman should see those pictures.

She got third degree burns ON HER GENITALS. She needed skin grafts and spent 8 days in the hospital and then required 2 more years of medical care. She initially wanted about 20k for medical bills and lost wages (she was hospitilzed for 8 days). McDonalds offered 800$ so she sued. She didn’t get millions and she was…

Well, he’s right and the company is wrong. Now the damages are minimal and don’t amount to much in my opinion, but he is correct. I would award him damages in the amount of $20 and an apology, for a glass of Champagne and his troubles. It’s not a frivolous lawsuit, but not a multimillion dollar one either.

“She deserved the shit she got because she was clumsy and spilled a beverage that she knew was hot on herself.”

You complain about 2 whiny lawyers, then make a total whiny lawyer argument.

Lol change the exemple for fucking maple syrup if it bothers you that much

But the airline could - as they are now - have said free glass of sparkling wine.

I mean, I do think it’s dumb that there’s a distinction between champagne and sparkling wine when they are actually the same thing, just from different places, but as long as that distinction exists and is widely recognized you have to use the terms honestly.

It was too hot in her case, too. The restaraunt had been warned repeatedly to lower the temp of their coffee. I’m not sure why your dad’s case invalidates hers. People are klutzy; I drop my phone four times a day at least. That’s why drive-through restaurants shouldn’t serve beverages so hot they’ll melt skin,…

These are completely separate cases. In one case, person received an inferior product the the one that was promised. In another case, a woman was burned almost to death and ended up with permanent disabilities and disfigurement. Not to mention that her lawyers eventually found out that employees, management, and…

1. it’s not shit. If the OJ box said 100% real juice, it’s illegal to not sell 100% orange juice. If you advertise free Champagne you have to deliver precisely that. (In the context of our law, of course, I don’t know how things are done where you live...)
2. In english the term is sparkling wine, in french it’s…
