I have no sympathy for anyone suiting McDonalds anymore, even if they have no arms or legs. That's not Ronald's fault. Coffee is hot. So are french fries. And passing food to someone's foot is uncommon and unexpected.
Let me guess, she wants millions of $$ in damages for scaring her for life. Ridiculous... |
I'm sorry but I too found that to be a bit gross! The lady (by no fault of her own) has to eat with the very same appendages that she walks all over the nasty ground with. I too think that this birth defect itself has scarred the woman for life, not McDonalds.:(

Are you saying a person that has no arms or legs should not eat? And passing food to someone's foot may be uncommon and unexpected but they still have the right to eat in public places. If it had been me at the drive through I would have given her food to her. She can't help she was born with no arms. The the reason she is sueing is it has happened at more than one McDonald's. I was under the impession you over look people's deformatives and not make them feel self conscious about it. I think this is another ducking moment for you. :piethrow: |

I guess they should've just passed her the food since they did take her money, but I don't feel that she should sue. People probably are caught off guard when a foot comes through the window instead of a hand! I know I would be a bit startled to say the least.:eek:

I don't really get why we have an issue here. If the woman could pay for her food and her feet did not have to touch the counter, then let her have it. It's really quite simple. I think that sometimes we just forget all about compassion and love thy neighbor. The employees could have walked it out to her car and placed it inside for her or were they too lazy for that?

Thank You Belle that is the point I was trying to make. Compassion and helping someone with a disability. |

She told in an interview that at other restaurants she eats inside at a table with her family. Then point is some thinks it is disgusting using her feet which I agree is, but what do you think she should do, hire someone to go with her and feed her. Wouldn't that be just as degrading to be feed like an infant. And she said it happened at more than one McDonalds. |

Do you not understand that it was more than one single drive through experience? And why keep bring up the hot coffee, I figure the hot coffee person was trying to scam McDonald's. But you are taking a disability and making it sound like a scam. You say you consider yourself a compassionate person, but to me unless you can put yourself in that woman's place and see how you would feel if someone treated you that way or discriminated against you for a disability, then I beg to differ. Even people like that woman has feelings. compassion--a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. mercy, tenderness, heart, Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others |
