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.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
