Default Strange Story - Discrimination... !!

This story got me to thinking... At what point is McDonalds NOT liable and what point is an INDIVIDUAL liable.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287716,00.html

How the heck could McDonalds prevent an employee from being a jack-ass and costing it millions of dollars... 100% impossible in my view.

Next I could imagine, someone paying someone to get a job at McDonalds. Get that person to serve them, get them to do something really "weird" and SUE for millions....

Weird world..

No mention of a court settlement.

Or a subsequent appeal fining.

Just a $10 voucher

I can file a suit against anyone I want, for any reason. It doesn't mean I'm going to win, though!

Never quite thought about it that way, but you have a great point. Karma on it's way.

Fatbrit like always is delusional...expecting lowgrade $8/hour employees to follow every company doctrine and policy. Some might say he is an idiot...and many do.

Attack the person not the message, eh? Like your friends on Faux News have taught you. Only an idiot would fall for that.
