Not worth crying over spilled coffee?
<A HREF="http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompanyNewsArticle.jhtml?duid=mtfh55540_2004-11-12_10-57-25_l12687950_newsml">Russian woman sues McDonald's over coffee burn</A>
You thought it would never happen again, after McD's got slammed for nearly $3 million in that landmark case now 10 years ago. But it did. Just this time the claim seems to be on a smaller, impoverished, Communist level. The claim? Fourteen dollars in healthcare costs and $3,500 for "moral damage." If only our country were that in control. Last edited by breakingnews; 11-12-2004 at 12:34 PM. Reason: oops. had to fix the HTML tag. |

Cool. This means you can still get hot coffee at McDonalds in Russia.
I am so there.

What the heck is "moral damage"? Did the devil sieze the chance while she was distracted with the hot coffee incident to run off with her soul?

McDonald's coffee has done "moral damage" to a lot of us because it sucks so bad. Yuck.

As far as post-Soviet Russia goes, McDonalds is probably about the best coffee available. It has actual coffee in it.

Maybe she meant moraledamage.
Some days when the zoloft isn't doing it for me, I feel, well, Fuck. I'm probably just gonna burn myself on this coffee, so why even bother? Besides, my wallet is on the other side of the room, and there's probably a long line anyway... If they don't have coffe, they probably don't have zoloft.
