A McDonald's customer is suing the fast food restaurant for $1.5million because he was given only one napkin with his meal.

Webster Lucas claims he is now unable to work because of the 'undue mental anguish' and 'emotional distress' caused by the incident. He launched the lawsuit following a row with the store manager at the outlet in Pacoima, California, on January 29.

Tempers seem to have flared after Mr Lucas complained that he had received just a single paper towel with his Quarter Pounder Deluxe. Mr Lucas, who is African-American, says the he was racially abused by the manager when he went back to the counter to ask for more, according to TMZ.

The employee, who is named only as 'Angel' and is said to be of Mexican-American appearance, is alleged to have mumbled something that sounded like 'you people', Mr Lucas claims.

Man, Americans are so flippin weird. It's almost like they're all hell-bent on becoming filthy rich, regardless of how stoopid it makes them look.

If this had happened anywhere else in the world, the company would've just laughed at him and maybe sent him a box of tissues for his "emotional distress". Same with that infamous hot coffee ordeal... you're making European football players look like Spartans.

I dunno, those burns were pretty effin' bad. McDonald's coffee maker's thermostat was obviously off-calibration because a regular temperature coffee could not cause burns so severe. She wasn't driving and spilled her coffee on herself, she was in the McDonald's parking lot and at a stop, went to pick up her coffee from the top where you're supposed to hold it and the top wasn't secured properly, causing the spill. When she sought out reimbursement for the medical bills, McDonald's offered her $800 and nothing more. I mean, what is that? That's more insulting than offering nothing, and coming from a multi-billion dollar giant of a corporation like McDonald's? They shouldn't have had any problem paying off her entire medical bill, and it's entirely possible that the lawsuit would have never been filed had they done so, given that it wasn't considered until she was forced to find a way to pay for her bills otherwise. Lawsuit seems like a reasonable course of action to follow up with.

The whole thing was portrayed as a huge joke and as something absurd in the media because that was one of the major catalysts Bush used to help spur forth his movement of tort reform. They made it the go-to case for their fight against 'frivolous lawsuits', and in order to do that they had to downplay any of the case's credibility; what better way than talking it down on the news?

The guy in this article just sounds like a little bitch, but that coffee spill was pretty fuckin' bad.

I work in a restaurant, and I specifically make sure to give everyone only one extra napkin. Then I intentionally mutter racist shit under my breath and wait for their reactions.

Then, after that, I give my customers to-go cups for their coffee, and I tell them to only pick up the cups from the lids. I microwave the coffee for a solid 120 seconds beforehand and sit back to watch the fireworks!

This shit is so stupid.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
