MODERATORS
I do too, but I wonder what kind of mental problem that guy has to invest money in lawyer and court fees, plus tons of personal time, to get this going.
The mental illness known as "tired of everyone getting fucked with no recourse"
The lawyer probably took the case on a contingent basis (doesn't get paid unless he wins), and the dude will probably get a fat check. That's not a mental problem, that's cashing in big on a corporate lie he discovered.
idk how much he'll actually get considering his damages are a couple ounces of beer.
As a Class Action lawsuit, it is a couple ounces of beer across every person who has ordered a 24oz. Could be pretty lucrative
Pretty lucrative for the lawyers. Each person who has ordered a beer in the past few years will get a check in the mail for 3¢, and a coupon for a free beer next time they go.
each member of the class is gonna get the cash value of 2 oz beer * number of short beers they bought * .6 (assuming 40% attorneys fees). Nobody's retiring off this money.
I dunno, standards? Principles?
Sometimes it's about that, not personal gain
Isn't it fucked up that expecting what you paid for has left people asking what mental problems he has? That's how far we've fallen.
Yup. Pretty messed up
i wonder what kind of mental illness some already rich bigwig has to have to defraud even our fucking soda
i guess a dash of autism.
If anything this is a good example of how society would be worse off if everyone were neurotypical
that or our hero is just bored and petty as fuck!
One of the many symptoms of autism is having a very strong sense of justice and demanding fairness in all things, sometimes to an obsessive degree. He's probably just one of us.
Huh.
The mental problem of wanting to earn a lot of money in a lawsuit. Mans gonna get three, maybe even four bucks outta this
I should cover the missing 2 oz he didn't get in his beer
I mean I joke but it’s not about the money he will earn, it’s about the money Cinemark will lose.
Alcoholism
Yes, having a drink while out and about having a good time is definitely a sign of alcoholism...
Having enough that you're min-maxing the number of cents per unit of ethanol might be
At a movie theatre that could be serious money lol
Something tells me you'd be far less mocking about it if it was you getting sold something, and not getting the full amount.
Oh, I wasn't mocking.
Unfortunately I'm seeing far too often younger people think that having a single beer makes you an alcoholic.
What a puritanical douche
No, it just takes one to know one.
