A McDonald's customer is suing the fast food restaurant for $1.5million because he was given only one napkin with his meal.
Webster Lucas claims he is now unable to work because of the 'undue mental anguish' and 'emotional distress' caused by the incident.
He launched the lawsuit following a row with the store manager at the outlet in Pacoima, California, on January 29.
Tempers seem to have flared after Mr Lucas complained that he had received just a single paper towel with his Quarter Pounder Deluxe.
Mr Lucas, who is African-American, says the he was racially abused by the manager when he went back to the counter to ask for more, according to TMZ.
The employee, who is named only as 'Angel' and is said to be of Mexican-American appearance, is alleged to have mumbled something that sounded like 'you people', Mr Lucas claims.

How long before Rev. Jacksonnnnnn and Sharpton get involved?
Mickey D’s is a biiiig shakedown opportunity.
Does Mr. Lucas engage in anal sex? Because that would help his cause immensely in the press.
This is a farce isn’t it?
Did he call 9-11 first?

I would like to throw the judge that let this go forward off of a cliff though...

How did the American people come to believe that it is somehow legally actionable to be offended?
If you insult me I am going to sue you!!!!
How did we become such a thin skinned people?
Is Mr. Lucas guilty of "Racial Profiling", "Stereotyping" or "Sexism"!
Horrors!
he should be complimented at the good service he was given
at our local McD’s, they don’t give you any napkins at all, you have to go try to fish them out of a dispenser machine

A tad off-topic: I saw a mini-expose about the elderly New Mexico woman who won a ~$700,000 settlement some years ago against McDonalds for spilling hot coffee in her lap. Her story has been twisted around, making her look like a opportunist, when in fact she only wanted MD’s to pay about ten grand for medical bills (yes, she was badly burned and needed skin grafts). MD’s just laughed and offered a few hundred bucks, and in response her lawyer instigated the multi-million dollar lawsuit, that was reduced by a judge. Bottom line, she was wrongly portrayed in the media as a grifting opportunist.
$1.5 million Bitcoins isn’t very much these days..

Remember Ross Perot said “You People” to a Black audience and the hucksters went wild. I think Rush did a parody of the National Association for the Advancement of You People.
My Mc Donalds is stingy with the sauce when you buy 20 nuggets... 2 sauce cups for 20 nuggets....
It is fun to go through 10 nuggets then run out of sauce...
This stuff is AWEOSME with McNuggets by the way.
Hope Jackie Chiles is his attorney.
