KingCanuck · 08-13-2007, 04:23 PM

Horrible customer service, deserves 10 million, sure win case. (yes sarcasm)

cyr · 08-13-2007, 04:23 PM

I'd sue too, I wish I was allergic to something.

WellHungOver · 08-13-2007, 04:25 PM

**** him, if he was severly allergic to cheese he would have looked before he bit into it. Dumb****.

timeforsleeep · 08-13-2007, 04:25 PM

i hope he gets his money, then him and his scum family members die in a freak accident due to their unfathomable ****ing greed.

I'm allergic to bee stings but if I get stung and have a bad anaphylactic reaction who am I gonna sue? God? *LOL*

Srsly though, the guy isn't going to get 10 million.

past medical costs, it'd be really annoying if he got a penny.

i bet this guy is fat.

ehayes · 08-13-2007, 04:26 PM

I've had settlements out of court due to my fatal peanut allergy.

When you're fatally allergic to something and you tell them about it and they still do it, its actually a case over life and death, it's happened to me multiple times, I'm not saying he deserves 10 million, but if he did almost lose his life (didnt read article yet) then he does deserve some compensation if he told them about it.

God? LOL, be serious...you sue mother nature.

FunkDaddy · 08-13-2007, 04:28 PM

Yeah...he was sure to tell 5 different people he was allergic to cheese but didn't check the ****in burger first? Suuuure. ****in useless human being

malty · 08-13-2007, 04:28 PM

As soon as you see mcdonald's and lawsuit in the same sentence you automatically picture fat people looking to take advantage of the system and get pissed off.

But if this guy really does have a severe allergy, made it very clear to not put cheese on his food, and they did anyway, then they should be liable for whatever medical costs he incurred.

$10 million is a crock of **** though. Maybe if his tongue had shriveled up and fallen out, or if his legs had fallen off for some reason.

CRyan64 · 08-13-2007, 04:28 PM

lol. seriously though....i get frustrated when i ask for no pickles and they give me some pickles. it happens frequently.

Errorist · 08-13-2007, 04:29 PM

Thats why you go to burger king if ya want things done right.

ehayes · 08-13-2007, 04:29 PM

I also want to say that I don't support people suing over small things, but a lot of people don't realize how serious allergies are and a lot of people actually do die from people just not caring, though it depends on a case to case basis.

If he truly did almost die or go into anaphalatic shock from the cheese, mcdonalds will probably give him something due to the neglagence of the employees and them not wanting it to go to public.

I don't like pickles either, so when I get the burger I lift up the bun to have a look see. I'm not even allergic and I still look.

Sevada · 08-13-2007, 04:31 PM

just open the burger and if u see cheese take it back

Le Derek · 08-13-2007, 04:31 PM

i bet money the judge throws this out of court...if it even makes it that far

theyll probably settle out of court for cost of medical bills (if any) and pain and suffering

bigkarl · 08-13-2007, 04:31 PM

i wish the government would kill people who make frivoulous lawsuits.

You'd think HE would realize the seriousness of it then, no? And maybe check the ****in burger to see if there was cheese on it...

ehayes · 08-13-2007, 04:32 PM

Hate to say it but you will find people that will take their allergy to their advantage like it sounds like he did and eat the cheese willingly in order to get a lawsuit.

Having a peanut allergy I have to check a ton of basic foods since everything is produced on the same assembly line, though if i taste any trace of a peanut, i spit the shi1 out, I don't swallow the food... the guy is messed up in some way, but I still know where hes coming from.

**skippy** · 08-13-2007, 04:32 PM

I should sue McDonalds also. Last time I went through the drive-through I orderd a double quarter w/cheese, and after driving away realized they had given me a regular quarter w/cheese. I was pissed. Next time, though, instead of going back and speaking to the manager, I am calling a lawyer. Yeah, this is America, Jack!!

I just posted about that, yeah it is his responsibility, but in todays world, he could eat the cheese anyway in order to get something like this to happen, pathetic, but true.

scrum · 08-13-2007, 04:33 PM

it's not mcdonalds fault that one guy at the restaurant messed up one thing. It's ridiculous.

He deserves to be force fed cheese.

r_robert · 08-13-2007, 04:35 PM

wtf that ****ers rich now

IronMan316 · 08-13-2007, 04:35 PM

Yea I heard about this, just another idiotic frivolous lawsuit if you ask me. Covering medical bills is one thing (it was like $700) but 10 million? Give me a break..

Thats a little harsh, yeah what he is asking for is ridiculous, but allergies are not to be taken lightly, if you had to live with one you'd know what I'm talking about.

actually.....mcdonalds being a franchise and all, they have to get ****ed with......

all i have to say is if this guy gets 10 mil from mcd's(which is what. like a penny to them?) itll be worth it if the workers start to get the ****ing order right.......

One of the reasons why he most likely won't get anything other than medical expenses is that cheese on a burger is easy to spot. Peanut allergies are a bit more tricky since anything even made with the oil or if it's finely ground is harder to detect so it's easier to unwittingly ingest peanuts.
