At the time of the incident they did not engineer their own coffee. Even if they had, brewing procedures would have been the same.
It's like talking to a wall.
I was in middle management.
I do know what I'm talking about.
But please by all means keep spouting ignorance.
I think that the problem is that the middle management guy has no control about it because the decision is made above his head, so AvilaSurfer never saw the decision made and just assumes that it must be some sort of natural law, I don't know.Like the one about McDonald's not having control of the thermostats on their coffee pots?
Who decided that the mfr recommended temp was safe to introduce to the automobile driver environment?It's like talking to a wall. I was in middle management. I do know what I'm talking about. But please by all means keep spouting ignorance.
1. Oh, well then. Middle management. My apologies, sir. I failed to appreciate the magnitude of greatness in my presence.
Not bragging, just letting you know I have some credibility. Nice snark though.
2. I honestly can't tell if you're serious or joking. Since it seems to be hard for you, I'm serious.
3. Then why do you keep saying things that are wrong and not supporting any of your claims?
I guess I have to keep repeating myself because the current is a dense as a post.
4. Like the one about McDonald's not having control of the thermostats on their coffee pots?
(Sigh)....At the time of the incident, the coffee machines (not pots) came from the company preset for both brewing and holding temps. If you had ever worked in a restaurant instead of sitting up there on that judgey chair, you'd know that.
Food is food, soda is soda, coffee is coffee, no matter where you consume it. There is not one standard for dining area food and another for food handed out a window.Who decided that the mfr recommended temp was safe to introduce to the automobile driver environment?

There should be. Its really negligent to hand out scalding hot liquids to automobile drivers. I say that as a person who has to share the road with those drivers.Food is food, soda is soda, coffee is coffee, no matter where you consume it.

(I really am amazed that I have to explain that).
Then don't buy hot drinks in the drive through.There should be. Its really negligent to hand out scalding hot liquids to automobile drivers. I say that as a person who has to share the road with those drivers.
If you would take some time and research proper brewing temps for any coffee, anywhere, you will get the same information. Nothing has changed. If you don't brew it at almost 200 degrees, the flavor isn't extracted from the coffee grounds. If you don't hold it at around 190, it loses flavor quickly.In what industry did you serve as middle management?
And who dictated those temperatures? The equipment manufacturer or McDonald's when they ordered the machines?
To be clear, I'm not pointing the finger at the individual restaurant or the franchise owner. Sure, their autonomy is limited. I'm pointing the finger at McDonald's corporate that sets the policies and practices that the franchises have to follow.

The finger, as I've said, should be pointed at the consumer. The consumer knows it's hot coffee, and has to be responsible for their own actions after they purchase it.
Thats makes no sense as a reply to my post.Then don't buy hot drinks in the drive through.
Multiple times I said that was determined by the coffee industry itself. I answered all those questions. Read again.I'm familiar with the rationale behind holding it at a high temperature. I'm not arguing about the taste of the coffee.
We're arguing about who chose to hold the coffee at those high temperatures. You failed to answer any of the questions I posed in my previous post.
Additionally, the woman had only originally sought medical expenses, and then during the trial, maybe some amount on top of that, but nothing too exorbitant. The big payout came from the jury taking it upon themselves to levy punitive damages after seeing McD's history of ignoring the problem of burns.
