Oh goodie, so now we’ve reached the point where you’re trying to flood the argument with so much meaningless gibberish that you hope it’ll fool someone into thinking that you’re making point somewhere in that mess. I don’t care that you have creamer in your coffee, dude. I don’t really even care that you think a meat thermometer can accurately measure the temperature of liquids. Sure, you can take a tiny sip of 185° coffee. Whatever.
The facts of the matter are that 185° is hotter than any other chain serves their coffee, they received multiple health code violations for it, serving it at even slightly lower temperatures dramatically reduces the possibility of getting severe burns, McDonald’s knew all this, lied about why they were doing it, ordered their employees to keep getting health code violations anyway, settled with other people out of court before this case for upwards of $500,000 because it was such a small expense for them, only offered this lady $800 for some bizarre reason, the judge actually reduced the settlement to $640,000 before it was actually paid out, and she ended up spending all that money on a live in nurse because she was in so much pain and barely capable of walking for the rest of her life. We do not base our regulations on the assumption that no one will spill any coffee ever. That is an insane thing to assume.
Have fun giving up your only defense against corporate negligence though. I’m sure that could never possibly backfire.
