>- hmm that is disgusting..but I do agree people are sue happy. I don’t think that would be any worse then la cucaracha crawling out of your burger … ya know!?! No he shouldnt sue but should get more then a meal
Christine the Lioness stated
But the question becomes *who* should say how much is enough? Is it up to the restaurant? The guy? A jury?
I’d probably be happy with free meals at any TGIF for the rest of my life.
Oh… and they’d have to hook Christopher up with potato skins and buffalo wings… that would be the agreement. 
Mia the Groupie stated
Hmm good question. who really is to say whats enough. In my opinon I think hardly anybody has a say in how much is enough. If the sue happy ppl get there way then a jury if they are on their side. But ill go with the restaurant if only cuz in this case i love TGIF

didn’t i address this very topic a few months ago on the post about chris’ dialing and deciding dinner charade? the only people who know how disgusting the food there is are those who prepare it! so either get a job there or an iron stomach? huh? he’ll get paid. 8-|
Keith the Director added
Yeah you might as well lock this guys country club memebrship tobeevrly hills in for life… it’s not even that disgusting! Maybe I’m just desensitized to violence etc. I found a bug on the lettuce of my sandwhich one time at Eat’N'Park I had it sent back and demanded they cancel my order…why? because i know that exact same plate was coming back out with if i was lucky a new piece of lettuce if not the same exact piece minus it’s little friend…
I defintely don’t think I should have sued but wish i would have now taken a bite of the sanwhich and got my payday! Thats what I get for being honest and examining my food before consumption. This guy doesn’t deserve a huge cash settlment but will get it, but did deserve more than just the table having a compd meal. I like christine idea about free food for life. that would payoff in dividends!

So, Keith… the slice of finger isn’t “that disgusting,” but you sent back a piece of lettuce that had a bug on it? At least we know bugs live in lettuce so it makes sense why that might be there.
And btw… it’s always in your best interest to examine food before consumption. I find hair and bugs and all kinds of stuff in my food because I do always look. I don’t make a big deal out of it (I make a bigger deal if my food is cold or they put dressing all over my salad when I specifically asked for no dressing), but at least if you look at it carefully, you can take out anything you don’t feel like eating.

Ugh.. Finding a finger is really gross, revolting. And yes it can be extremely disturbing mentally. But suing the restaurant, especially when it was not at fault, I mean an employee lost a finger for god’s sake is equally bad.
I mean, I’ve read about so many frivolous law suits where people behave like morons and expect the establishment to make everything idiot proof (hint, hint: Starbucks - Contents may be hot lawsuit) which portrays a rather sad picture of the american law system 
Christine the Lioness thought this
aJ… you don’t have to tell me… I agree 100%… there are so many frivolous lawsuits… it’s ridiculous. People have forgotten that shit happens and that doesn’t mean you have to sue over it or someone else was negligent. It just means shit happens. I think people who subscribe to the mentality that they are constantly victims, the world is out to get them, and they deserve to not have to work for the rest of their lives because something weird or bad happened to them should go live on an island by themselves somewhere. It doesn’t help anyone to run businesses bankrupt because you don’t want to work and therefore everyone else should suffer because you want a big payday. God, those people disgust me.
Keith the Director chimed in with
weell no christine, the thought of a finger in my food is disgusting and would be def. sent back. The bug thing happened like 8 yrs ago. Either way they are both sick in their own rights, and this bug looked nothing like soemthing that would live in a plant! :-w
Keith the Director hunt n' pecked this
aj i agree 100% and am quite found of the dumbass who was awarded $128 billion from sueing Phillip Morris for getting lung cancer after smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day for years on end… and the jackass who got how much $$$$ from sueing McDonald’s for burning her toungue and her lap after drinking coffee that was “too hot”! Did the steam rising out of the toip of the cup not give a caution to the wind sign? Or was this moron from somehwere that ppl enjoy a frsh ice cold cup of coffee each morning? If there is such a thing!
Christine the Lioness mentioned
Oh you mean coffee is *supposed to be* HOT??? Get the fuck outta here… 8-|

In case you’re interested in seeing what the *most* ridiculous frivolous lawsuits have been (including illegal immigrants who sued a Holiday Inn for firing them and won $72,000), check out this link… you won’t believe some of these…

Thanx Christine for showing the flaws with our legal system….how the fuck do you award assholes like these money for this shit…especialy an illegal immigrant $$$ for being fired… they shouldn’t even have been awarded the law suit let alone a trial!
Christine the Lioness added
I think some of these have to be hoaxes… a jury simply could not come to the conclusion that someone who legally had no right to be hired could be wrongfully terminated. But who knows… right?
eric the Lil' Devil stated
welcome to america huh? give em all cash and let em stay.
Christine the Lioness quibbed this
And we wonder why people file frivolous lawsuits… oh yeah… because dumb ass juries award them money… I forgot. / 
Keith the Director uttered
exactly my point christine thank you for staing the obvous of the point on why some deuschebags don’t deserve a trial at all!
