I hate how policeman get free shite all the time. I'm not being anti-cop, but why do they get free shite all of the time? I worked in a deli in high school and they would raid the place with absolutely no shame.

I guess b/c he probably got it free due to the fact that he is an officer

They usually hang out there or frequently visit lowering the likelihood of robbery, etc. Cheap security.

Ahhhh, never thought about that.

Well that wasn't the case at the place I worked at, but I still get your point.

We gave a percentage off to cops at the restaurant I worked at, and they would tip us very well to compensate... even the very cop that I got my DUI from

ETA: We did this because we could have as many as 10 cop cars in the tiny lot at one time when they came in. You avoid criminals this way.

I'm sure all of my cop friends on facebook won't be circulating this story all over the place. But hey a cop played basketball with a black kid!

Why does it matter that it was free? If he sustained serious injury due to negligence or some other issue causes by the store, does the $2 he would have paid really make a difference? Or if it is frivolous, does the $2 make it less bad?

Are you talking about his wife, who joined the suit because the burns stopped his ability to give her a proper stretching?

lol, why does it matter if the coffee is free or not? Are you saying if he paid the $1.20 for it then he would be more justified in his complaint?

Now, I'll gladly admit that cases like these (and this one is no different) get taken WAY too far with "emotional distress" and other shite like that, but I don't see what's wrong with seeking reimbusement of his medical bills, if in fact they are the result of the company's negligence.

Starbucks is claiming they don't have liability since he didn't pay for it.
