She says the clerk did not put an insulating sleeve on the cup, and slid the coffee on the counter so it fell on her foot.

If only it had had that insulating sleeve!!!

You just know this was going to happen after the McDonald's incident.

I'm just surprised there isn't more of it.

I hear that the Starbucks employee yelled "Here's your coffee, Macaca!" and then slid it.

The insulating sleeve part is asinine, the amount awarded is asinine, if the coffee was slid and fell because of the employees fault thats not asinine, however like I mentioned earlier the amount awarded is way too much, especially for somebody who's job doesnt depend on there foot.

This is not actually a serious injury for a lawyer. They don't, after all, use their feet!

It's the mouth. And she was going to pour that hot, scalding liquid right in it!

Griffin testified the hot coffee scalded her toes leaving her with nerve damage to her foot.

I see she was careful to claim permanent impairment. Infuriating. All retail establishment, restaurants, etc. could cut their losses by refusing service to attorneys. I guess the lawyers who control our legislatures would have themselves declared a protected minority along with the gays. Rant over.
