To the largest fast food company in the world they couldn’t spare 20k to make amends. To them that’s a less than a single employee’s salary, a fraction of one of their lawyer’s salaries. Absolutely pathetic
It’s just like the whole thing right now with Brock’s and Minifigs. They could have just made the guy whole in the first place but refused to let a customer make demands.
I’d also add:
The $20,000 included about $10k in medical costs, a few thousand for loss of income and another few thousand for expected medical costs.
McDonalds offered… $800.

Could spare? Yes.
Would spare? This is Ray Kroc’s baby we’re talking about.
Think of the shareholders!
McDonald’s deals with several legal claims a day. 99.99% of the time, $800 makes people go away.

McDonald’s just got confused and thought they were covering medical expenses in a civilized country.
