McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.
This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a “scalding” cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childress’ body and causing “severe burns” after she tried drinking it.
The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from “physical pains, emotional distress and other damages.” The restaurant’s negligence was a “substantial factor” for her injuries, it alleged.
Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees “refused” to help her, a point that the McDonald’s denied.
How about take her in the back and give her ice from the ice machine until the ambulance arrives?
See and now you’ve already screwed up. You never put ice on a burn. Burns damage nerves and by putting ice on it you are very likely to just cause frost bite as well. That’s why I said cold water in my origional comment. Aditionally ice machines are always full of nasty bacterial growth that you’ve now just smeared into a fresh wound.
Thats why I said first aid was likely outside of their training. Not to mention they are all likely specifically instructed to never allow people “in the back” and would risk being fired for doing so.
Um… I didn’t suggest they take her pants off and put the ice directly on her burn. I’m not an idiot.
Ignore this guy, his entire comment history is just corporate bootlicking.
I think you might be though. Or a child, or bad AI. Or an idiot. One of those.
And now you’re blocked. Reddit behavior does not interest me.
