kittyboops-poli:siphersaysstuff:favabean05:truthandglory:assbanditkirk:whoa canadasomeone needs to turn down that sass levelTwo things to know about Canada!We are smart enough to know hot things should be hot.We are sorry if you don’tA few things you need to know about this hot coffee case:It wasn’t an issue of the coffee being because no fucking shit coffee is hot, but McDonald’s had over heated their water to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 121C. Not just hot, but really FUCKING hot. Your fancy Starbucks lattes are brewed to 150 degrees.The 79 year old woman had this cup of 250F (121C) coffee between her legs when it spilled so 250F (121C) coffee spilled on her genitalsShe got third degree burns…on her genitals. THIRD DEGREE.She had to have skin grafts to repair the damageWhen she sued McDonald’s, it wasn’t for millions of dollars, it was for $20,000 to cover hospital costs and court fees. 20-fucking-thousand.It was the courts that awarded her the amount of money she got. Again, she only wanted hospital bills and court costsMcDonald’s changed their heating policy, but not before making her sign a gag order keeping her from talking about this caseSo she had to live on hearing little shits like you call her stupid and money-grubbing, and other horrendous stuff because she dared ask the company in the wrong to fix what they fucked up.MORE FUN FACTS:9. The woman who was burned was not driving the car, she was a passenger.10. The car was not in motion when she was burned. The car was parked so she could add cream and sugar.The coffee case is one of the biggest examples of a carefully-crafted smear campaign by a company that is in the wrong trying to hide that.11. The heat of the coffee was higher than any other in the industry at the time and was not safe.12. There had been multiple reports and complaints prior to this incident, with customers and staff being injured due to the heat.13. The amount awarded to her was because the court wanted to use the damages to financially force McDonald’s to take responsibility and prevent more injuries as they’d ignored them previously.There’s a small documentary on the case featuring the lady, and you should watch it. She is a really really sweet little person and it’s heartbreaking that she was treated this way by so many people when she was in fact just trying to get by with severe damage that crippled her and destroyed the last years of her life. -- source link
