Should probably do a little reading up on that one before you compare it to some douche crying about his wings
So a 79 year old woman burns herself with hot coffee.
A) she is 79 and her skin is already much weaker than younger person skin
B) coffee was hot
C) she spilled it and burned herself.
I doubt McD was handing out superheated coffee that day. Hot water is hot. Sometimes it burns you. shite happens.
I will give her credit for only wanting 20k to cover her med bills, though
Eta: if McD did not evaluate the heating mechanism, that can definitely be neglect. Maybe I'm just a heartless bastard

I believe the damages awarded were equal to a day's worth of revenue from coffee sales, which was a creative decision (something like $3 million)

McD was heating their coffee to ridiculous levels. The machines were faulty, but they weren't willing to spend the money to fix them all. I'm guessing you've never taken a business law class.

You're dead wrong

McDonalds found out the hotter the coffee, the more aroma it released. The more aroma it released, the more likely people were to buy it. It was pure neglect. I can't remember what the woman was awarded, but it was equal to the amount McDonald's was making in revenue selling coffee per day at the time.
