McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.

This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a “scalding” cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childress’ body and causing “severe burns” after she tried drinking it.

The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from “physical pains, emotional distress and other damages.” The restaurant’s negligence was a “substantial factor” for her injuries, it alleged.

Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees “refused” to help her, a point that the McDonald’s denied.

    Big doubt that it’s better than almost anything you can make at home with an automatic coffee maker. It’s awful. The convenience is the only reason.

      We must’ve had different experiences with it. I also wouldn’t say it’s better than almost anything you can make at home with an automatic coffee maker - just a lot of it. I’d take it over any of the more common supermarket brands of coffee grounds (Folgers, Starbucks, Great Value, Dunkin, Peet’s, and Maxwell House in particular)

      I concur to this; I used to work at McDonald’s, and we only changed out the coffee like twice a day if that
