you want people to be able to sue over everything, this is the result.
id have signed, cuz i both enjoy meat and not suin' people for nonsense i caused.
e: i have in the past ordered 'as rare as you can legally make it'. most of the time i get stupid looks and they bring it rare, but sometimes they just nod and bring me a brick
Two words : fusioned labias. That's what the too hot coffee from Mc Donald caused to the victim who sued them.
If you actually read about the hot coffee lawsuit you would know there is a lot more to it than just hot coffee.
Like the fact they knew about it and settled for around 800000$ out of court with others victims ? Or the victim just asked for pay her medical bills and cover her daughter's pay, as she left her job for be her mother carer ?
If I remember correctly the issue was with the lids on the cups and not the temperature of the coffee. There was an issue, but it wasn't as clear as just "hot coffee burns" because duh, hot coffee will do that.
You are misinformed. Maybe there was a thing about coffee lids but it came out that mcdonalds had a policy to heat coffee that was to-go to unsafe levels so it would be warm by the time it got home. Like hot enough to cause third-degree burns. The lady who had her labia's fused wasn't the only person suing McDonalds for this.

Not to mention, the eater is dumb if they get a hamburger that's less than well done. Ground beef has much more surface area for pathogens to creep into. So unless you watched them cut up and grind the meat, after watching them properly sterilize their equipment, order that burger well done.
I suggest you do too.
The whiny guy ordered the burger to be medium done. He got it the way he wanted.
He is literally eating what he ordered, and was shocked when the restaurant tried to cover their ass for letting him order an undercooked burger.
So the restaurant should have had the waiver signed by him BEFORE they made the burger. Not after he started eating.
Or maybe they shouldn't have made the burger to order.
The company is the issue.
You just don't care, though.
Yeah the restaurant should have refused, or made him sign first. Where I am, that order is illegal for the restaurant to do. It's not an option.
As such, I absolutely place the blame on him.
i absolutely read the article.
i read an article about a crybaby who ordered a burger rare, which everyone knows is outside the scope of safety fucking everywhere, and then whined when presented with having to take responsibility for the choice he was already eating.
or are we to believe this is his first experience ordering rare??
He ordered it medium, which is not that uncommon in the US.
duude i thought it said rare, totally on me
Based acknowledging of fault
And you ignored everything.
Unless proven otherwise, we should believe that this is the first time they received a waiver
and you ignored everything
the waiver is irrelevant here
Irrelevant to whom?
it should be irrelevant to any moron who orders a rare burger, like me.
good for you. your input here is totally irrelevant though, as usual for you.
not that you read it before commenting, but the article specifies that the burger was ordered ‘medium.’
And?
