Wow, how could I forget the impressive logic in “stick it to the billion-dollar corporation”? Actually I’m quite concerned so for all the Marions and Stellas out there:

Wow, Nostradamus. How nice of you to put me in a category with Stella and you don’t even know me.

I guess it would be oh so unjust and unfair to ask that a corporation that has the financial resources to put a warning label on a coffee cup considering that customers have been injured in the past.

Oh the horror!

I am not of the mindset to take advantage of people/companies. I see MickyD’s side AND I see this woman’s side. What I am saying is that a little thing like a warning because their coffee is very, very hot is prudent, imo.

I know you like an open blog. I even know which panties you wear. }:P

My point is, where does it stop? To put a label on a well-known beverage like coffee which has been yummily served steaming hot for centuries is the equivalent of labeling fries as “fried” or a milkshake with “contains milk”. How stupid do we have to accommodate?

Billion-dollar corporations don’t become that way by spending money putting labels like “this is a fork” on a fork or by paying the medical bills of everyone who files a frivolous lawsuit. To become that successful a business must do two things (here’s the secret Donald Trump won’t tell you, are you ready?): 1. minimize overhead 2. maximize profit margins

All the labeling and medical bill paying will contradict rule #1. IMO the only reason Stella won her lawsuit is the “stick it to the rich corporations” mentality that the lawyers successfully recognized during jury selection.

I’ve been on a jury and all I can say is… WOW. You get all kinds out there.

How about using a plastic reusable mug (sell to customer for cheap) for the drive through instead of a paper cup for 180+ coffee? Simple, cost-effective, eco-friendly, everyone wins except lawyers.

Did you read the part where MDs paid 230,000 to person who suffered burns as a result of an employee spilled the coffee in her car? We are not talk about a burn here. We are talking about 3rd degree burns, go check out the burn ward before you dismiss its hot coffee. Why did Mds pay that much for simple hot coffee?

Why did Mds not settle the case against the 79 year woman for 20K, 150K, 300K who had never filed a lawsuit in her life and not accepted the court mediation offer? The judge offered many chances for a sealed settlement. Looking at case facts one could surmise that they could have hoped they would lose to get lifetime of positive press. Mds won big, they should pay her at least $10M as best PR stunt in world history.
