Injuries aren't the point - injuries based on something you cost cost-effectively control are. It sure doesn't, but it also doesn't mean somebody...
Costumers know that coffee is "hot", but they don't know that McDonald's coffee is served much hotter than than usual, for basically no reason....
Of course. Companies do, and should, take their own cost benefit analysis to see whethere they should have taken action or settled with all the...
You can't possibly account for every factor, only the ones that play the most significant roles. The original amount definitely suggested that...
Then you agree with me, because I've continued to say that McDonalds only paid for a share of the judgement because they weren't completely at...
Because it is not about this single incident. It's called NEGLIGENCE. Coffee should be served at a temperature that maximizes the cost-benefit...
I realize that you are "subtly" trying to make a point, but this is completely different.
I generally agree. They seem to want the courts to award money to all victims regardless of how much of the incident was their fault. I'm not in...
Sassy, you obviously don't understand the point of FSA. This forum was created for people like us that continue to argue regardless of whether...
Cost-Benefit Analysis. It's simple. Serve it at a temperature that allows the most safety while allowing the best product at the relatively...
But if they had taken action before it became a large scale problem, they never would have incurred those fees. The point is their negligence....
I know you're a smart fella, my comment was to Bengal Buddy because his intelligence/ability to process information is a bit more questionable....
I guess we're not done after all... It's obviously not trivial since she won. McDonald's DID knowingly make the coffee hot with the...
Now that martin has made the last comment & the argument appears to be dead, I guess we can get back to fat chicks. :hihi:
All the more reason for them to be careful. "Isolated" is a relative term, especially for them. They didn't accidently serve the coffee to hot....
I also want to add that, although it's common sense to us, McDonalds wasn't found completely at fault for the incident. I think they only had to...
I agree, but that's not what this case is about. It was about the negligence by McDonalds. They had lots of complaints, knowledge that it had...
But that's not what temperature it's served at. Not through 2 layers of clothes.
I don't care how they did it, but I know that in the case it was presented as fact that McDonalds brewed & served their coffee much hotter than...
You say you read the case, and the case says - without objection by McDonalds, that their coffee was brewed much hotter than a usual coffee...
