Each morning I get my large coffee at the golden arches and no matter how I hold the cup I end up with coffee on my hand, briefcase or shoes. I didn’t realize that was potentially my retirement fund. Seriously, I would love to see someone invent a cup for these places that didn’t fold up or leak. It seems to me that these cups become cheaper and more flimsy all the time. Room out there for you inventors to make some big bucks.
I missed the Consortium reference the first time and had to go back to re-read the story. Nice one!
I’m starting to think everyone needs to sell hot beverages in “sippy cups”. Obviously theres way to many coffee and tea drinkers out there with the intelligence of 2 year olds.
Guess what… it’s hot tea… it’s, reapeat after me, HOT. That’s how you odered it. If it was luke-warm tea you would complain to the barista and scream that you wanted your $8 mocha-choca-chai tea frappy with skinny milk, extra dry, and hot.
Agree with your comments and loved the consortium reference.
Since NJ is one of if not the most litigious states in the country you could see this one coming. Most people have the common sense to check the lid and make sure it’s secure before leaving the store. I’d also be willing to bet this moron grasped it at the top of the cup (the weakest point) and it “popped” the lif off. With a name like Antonio Couso I’d bet he belongs to some trade union, probably cement. They’re some of the worst when it comes to looking to sue somebody. I wonder what his co-workers would say if they knew he’s a girlie man who drinks tea?
Correct me if im wrong, but isn’t third degree burn when the skin actually gets charred and burns off in flakes of ash? I’m not a doctor so I could be wrong.
Even though this is a frivolous law suit, I love seeing starbucks get sued. Not only does their coffee suck @ss, it’s WAY over priced. Burger King has better Coffee.
I also don’t think this guy was a tradesman. when’s the last time you saw a construction worker walk out of starbucks? They have more common sense than to spend $5 on a small up of caramel vermin marsupial latte.
Here’s an idea: take responsibility for your own life. Realize that some loss and difficulties can occur. Some are unavoidable, some aren’t. If you injure yourself due to your own negligence, get over it and learn from the experience.
Of course, if too many people did the above, then we wouldn’t have low-lying, scum seeking, bottom feeding snakes…oops! I mean lawyers, politicians and government bureaucrats.

If you squeeze a hot beverage container in the middle, the lid pops off.
Man has no common sense.
What the heck is he suing for? Lack of consortium?

Guess it pays to be ambidextrous.
Another fun lawsuit to add to our everyday live’s..
To make things more interesting, I think that Starbucks should file a
countersuit against the claimant for emotional damages…lol!

Another doofus warning on the cup….”The lid may pop off if not put on properly”. Good call on the loss of consortium! LOL.
