Point of view from Europe: doesn't matter that Coffee sue wasn't about millions just thousands, the main issue is that she won. That is what we laugh about. You can act as brainless and won money. If you order hot coffee you can pay your own bill when you spill it on you. So thanks to her and only her Gourleys got limited money.
- icebraining 10y agoAs an European myself, I fully disagree; getting a cup of coffee at 82ºC is not reasonable, and spilling it on yourself should never cause 2nd degree burns. The payout was completely justified. And the fact that it was standard policy and not an error further solidifies the point.
- grobbles 10y agoThe temperature was entirely reasonable. The woman got burns because she was an elderly woman with extremely dry skin. If your skin is excessively dry, much lower temperatures can damage. McDonalds still serves their coffee at the same temperature. Almost all brewers do. Because that's what customers desire (especially people who add milk/cream).
- douche 10y agoSeriously. Coffee is hot. Traditional methods of preparing it involve boiling water. If you are not smart enough to avoid pouring boiling hot coffee in your lap, I have little sympathy for you.
