McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.

This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a “scalding” cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childress’ body and causing “severe burns” after she tried drinking it.

The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from “physical pains, emotional distress and other damages.” The restaurant’s negligence was a “substantial factor” for her injuries, it alleged.

Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees “refused” to help her, a point that the McDonald’s denied.

    coffee shop that squeezes cat butt glands or whatever justifies selling a $5 cup for $10

    The cost is twofold, justified by having:

    1- actual quality cherries, grown and dried in a labor intensive ways by farmers actually making real money directly off of the sale of their coffee and-

    2- small, local coffee Roasters actually taking care of the roast on a coffee you want to taste while also getting paid for their hard work.

    That probably sounds fucking snobby as hell but it really makes a difference that is hard to ignore once you start tasting it.

    No butt glands involved, feline or otherwise.

      The real takeaway issue is $10 for a $5 cup of $.11 cents worth of ground coffee beans.
