: Being an American citizen born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y., I must say that the people in this country are the sorriest bunch of people in the world, they would do anything to put a dollar in their pockets! Anywhere else in the world this wouldn't even be an issue. Of course Mcdonalds shouldn't be sued, that is the most pathetic case I have ever heard! People are always picking on the larger companies with a lot of money and never bothering the little people! You wanna know why? because they know that the bigger companies will probably settle just to satisfy the customer! If you tried to do that with a smaller business, people know that they will continue to fight, because it would probably be costly to just settle ! Why don't people just leave the bigger companies alone, and stop being so selfish!

You've hit the nail squarely on the head! Our US society has gone litigiously crazy. Everyone (most everyone) wants to blame someone else for their problems and then claim victim status. But then this discussion should not be in the McDonald's debating room; it needs to be discussed in the Attorney/Lawyer chat room; they're the problem.
