Featuring in this community! Because... Onions!
The guy ate the onion..
Remember, the mcdonalds lady got mocked in the media for suing, dont just assume based off of the headlines.
She had third-degree burns on her vagina and needed plastic surgery to fix it. It must have been horribly painful.
Almost as bad as getting onions.
Edit: woosh
Her ordeal wasn't a joke, and McDonald's was directly responsible for the slander that she endured in the media. She definitely deserved the millions that were awarded to her.
Woosh
I hope someone makes a joke of the terrible disfiguring pain you have one day. I'll laugh when that happens to you. Have a great day!
I see that it's you that is an insensitive asshole, and I who makes dubioys (probably too complicated 🤷🏼♀️) jokes.
I prefer being me every day.
PS. Relax & touch grass man.
Joking about a person who went thru massive pain and was laughed at about it. Good job!
Maybe you are on par with Manson? You definitely sound like someone who cares about others in the way Manson did.
I touch grass every day, and I don't laugh at the suffering of others like some sociopathic person.
Maybe ask yourself what you find funny about the suffering of others, and you will understand where I'm coming from. I highly doubt you will because sociopaths never do.
Sure, sure, angry-man. Go anger elsewhere 😂🤣.
Sure, sure, stupid man, keep making fun of people's pain and misery.
Lol
He has a fucking allergy to onions, which he made clear.
Stop acting like he's sueing because his order was wrong- the lawsuit because they nearly killed him.
The US is so crazy when it comes to this. In Europe you'd almost always just sue for actual damages, which because of healthcare are pretty low. You could get a small amount in cash but nothing crazy. Suing just to get money is stupid.
Unfortunately, that's just how they've set up our legal system to handle cases of negligence causing healthcare fees.
I ABSOLUTELY know who this snowflake voted for.
Dude, not cool, is your brain so warped by politics that you have to interject it into every conversation?
I can’t possibly be doing the jerkoff gesture harder than I’m doing it right now.
Yes, food allergens have to be taken seriously. But if you're that allergic to something, maybe don't frequent places that have minimum wage workers making your food?
EDIT: You can't sue the owner enough to make underpaid workers care any more. Paying them a living wage would.
Given that he is allergic, it's a reasonable thing to do, isn't it? Or is the health and safety of people with allergies not relevant?
On the one hand, I agree with you.
On the other hand, if you're deathly allergic to something as common as onions, you probably shouldn't rely on fast food workers to keep you alive.
I've got a friend with actual Celiac's disease. To the point where a drop of wheat could be the end of him. He does not take this kind of chance, ever. He trusts me to cook for him, but I care about his existence beyond just being a customer.
On the other hand, if you're deathly allergic to something as common as onions, you probably shouldn't rely on fast food workers to keep you alive.
If you're serving food to the public you should probably be careful not to kill them.
Do you really expect some of the lowest wage workers working in likely shit conditions with shit managers to get 100% of orders right?
Also, if I'm deathly allergic to something like onions then I will absolutely check everything I didn't prepare myself.
People make mistakes. I've been a teenager working in fast food. I would not be trusting them to keep you alive.
people make mistakes, that's why EXTREMELY PROFITABLE GLOBAL RESTAURANT CHAINS should have procedures and sufficient staffing to ensure that these mistakes don't kill people.
Sure, they should. But that's not the world we live in.
and that's why we should support people who sue these companies for making mistakes :)
I'd prefer some agency doing random inspections though
yup, but until then this is what we get
It's a nice ideal, but historically the companies don't think like that and in most cases the workers don't get paid enough to be that passionate. 4/5-star restaurants? Sure. Not fast food, though.
Also consider the sheer amount of food orders a fast food place gets in a day, especially with things like DoorDash on top of in-person and drive-thru.
I get where you're coming from. But I still disagree.
What you describe makes sense from a realistic standpoint BUT I don't see why we shouldn't hold corporations to a higher standard since they are selling this exact higher standard to us.
Yes Fastfood workers likely aren't paid enough to care about customized orders but that isn't a ME problem. It's the company's problem since they can't keep up with their promises. So time to hold them responsible.
Also my two cents to add to the general issue: if I can't cater to custom needs or don't want to, I can still lie to the customer and tell them it's not possible instead of risking to kill them through my apathy.

I once had a friend who claimed to be allergic to onions and his flatmates managed to prove it was a lie..... By trying to kill him.
