I remember the hot coffee lawsuit.... and I didn't know the sensationalist version got this exploited. In fact, even though I didn't have most facts shared by Devin, I remember the article I read the story had the detail that she had 3rd degree burns resulting from the coffee spill, at which point I sided with the woman immediately.
Sorry for people who are expecting lava instead of coffee, but yeah, I think restaurants, fast food joints or whatever do have a responsibility of safety with their costumers there, over demands of absurdly hot coffee because some people are complaining it gets cold by the time they drink it.
At the very least, it should be not dangerously hot for drive-through or takeout. Or, if they insist to serve it that hot, then tyey have a responsibility to put it inside a cup that won't easily spill. And this isn't because it's McDonalds la-di-da, it's just plain consumer safety standards.
