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.
Up in Canada (at least my part), McDonald’s coffee is a great affordable coffee. It’s better than Starbucks or (🤮) Tim Hortons. It’s not going to compete with a bespoke artisan coffee shop that squeezes cat butt glands or whatever justifies selling a $5 cup for $10, but it’s better than almost everything else for the price.
Yeah I read that is a common option. Can’t believe that from where I’m from, decent coffee joints are all over. Nobody I know would go to McDonald’s for coffee
The town I live in has 2 Tims, 1 McDonald’s, and no cafes. I never considered how deeply it would eventually hurt leaving a place with quality cafes and restaurants for a place without. At this point we’re considering on just moving to an unorganized township because there’s no point in paying the higher property taxes (there’s a long list of complaints to go with that nugget).
