McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.
This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a “scalding” cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childress’ body and causing “severe burns” after she tried drinking it.
The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from “physical pains, emotional distress and other damages.” The restaurant’s negligence was a “substantial factor” for her injuries, it alleged.
Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees “refused” to help her, a point that the McDonald’s denied.
That old lady could have asked for ice chips if she didn’t want coffee at it’s normal temperature. That’s not McDonalds fault. I hate Corporate America but I hate making up bullshit to come after them when there’s soooo much true stuff to call them out on. I spent years as a youth making minimum wage to get harassed by older folks because “why isn’t your coffee hot?”. I’m sorry, I don’t own this business and I’m not the lady that sued McDonalds. Can you please redirect your anger elsewhere?
