Re: Our problems..
Regarding that McDonald's hot coffee incident..
Perhaps you should go out and look at a photo of the resulting burn.
You cannot unsee that photo.
And the woman in question was NOT the driver which is always assumed.
McDonald's had many many many complaints regarding their coffee temperature over the years before this.
They simply decided it was more important for the coffee to be a good temperature after it had been carried off to work and consumed about 15 minutes later than the safety of individuals.
Oh. Here you go:

Please educate yourself. There's even a documentary on the subject.
Lawsuits are sometimes the only way if you are dealing with an ammoral publicly traded corporation.
Think of it as a gentle corrective force applied to the warm buttocks of the free market.
