McDonalds has made a new golden arch enemy -- a California man is suing the company for $1.5 MILLION ... because he says he only got ONE NAPKIN with his meal.
Webster Lucas claims he was stiffed on napkins at the Mickey D's in Pacoima, CA on January 29th -- after ordering a Quarter Pounder Deluxe -- and when he went up to the counter to ask for more, he was rudely rebuffed by the manager ... who insisted he already got some.
According to his lawsuit, Lucas -- who is black -- then retorted, "I should have went to eat at the Jack-in-the-Box because I didn't come here to argue over napkins. I came here to eat."
That's when Lucas says things got racist -- claiming the manager (a Mexican-American) mumbled something about "you people."
Lucas subsequently emailed the general manager to complain -- insisting he couldn't work because of the "undue mental anguish" he was suffering as a result of the napkin debacle -- and says he was insultingly offered free burgers in return.
Lucas wants to super size instead -- $1.5 million.

Actually, McDonalds could’ve saved money by doing what people like this expect. Hand him cash upon entrance. McDonalds is a “1%” er.
He probably would added another couple million to his lawsuit if he had went to the bathroom and there was only one square left on the toilet roll.
Two things: You gotta wonder what people like this’ll do if they ever experience a real disaster.
And it’s funny that the police can’t be sued for failing to serve and protect, but a business can be sued over something as silly as a napkin. Big brother’s really got his priorities straight, doesn’t he?
Why couldn’t he get his own napkins if he went back into the counter? I have never been to a McDonald’s where I couldn’t get napkins from a dispenser inside the building itself.
Some fast food restaurants are eliminating those dispensers. I don’t think it has anything to do with the environment, but rather, too many people taking 20 or 30 napkins at a time. Napkins are a business expense. If you’re that sloppy with your food, invest in a bib.
When did Mad Magazine become reality?

Every time someone puts up a photo of this iconic comical character, I spew coffee all over the screen. Thanks!

We are completely overrun with lawyers.
Go back to HillaryScare and part of the proposal at the time was to let the lawyers ‘breed’ like junkyard dogs while stemming the amount of ‘home grown’ Doctors ...
Of course if Congress had been full of Drs rather than Lawyers, they would have been allowed to run rampant.

Didn’t catch this till the 2nd run through.....
What kind of a job would one have that anything that happens at Mickey D’s would cause you mental anguish in regards to your job?
Unless, of course, you ‘picked up’ the Big D........
This guy’s jurors will be selected from among those who favor redistribution and think it’s perfectly reasonable to call 911 to complain about a nugget shorting on their food order. This guy wins his mcdonalds powerball.
When I got 19 nuggets in my 20 piece McNugget box, I had
mental anguish as well.
But then I found the bonus fry loose in the bottom of the bag so I recovered.
Once you've worked with the general public you realize that while humans produce the occasional Einstein, nature produces a lot of examples at the other end of the bell curve too. I would be willing to bet "you people" had nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the guy self-identifying with the idiot end of the bell curve.
“Why couldn’t he get his own napkins if he went back into the counter? I have never been to a McDonald’s where I couldn’t get napkins from a dispenser inside the building itself.”
Recently some of the McDonalds near my house have removed the napkin dispensers. One napkin is provided per meal served. If the customer wants more napkins he/she must ask. This must be a cost savings move which over the chain would be worth millions of dollars given the number of people I’ve seen remove a fist full of napkins from dispensers in the dining room.
Unfortunately for the manager, he didn't mumble his "you people" retort in Spanish.
As my wife is wont to say, “I know how he votes”.
That would be something to Crow about.
