http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,213352,00.html $114 million dollars just because they recalled a stupid cupon. $114 million dollars may not be a lot for Starbucks, but it is a huge amount of money. The suer is such a dickhole. WAHH I FEEL "BETRAYED" BY STARBUCKS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T LET ME USE MY COUPON WHAHHH." The world needs to learn that suing for stupid reasons it idiotic. In fact, you all need to watch the South Park Episode Sexual Harrasment Panda right now. It will teach you not to sue.

yeah, saw this on the bbc news site 'parrently the case is pretty flimsy (even for US compensation cases ) and is expected to be thrown out of court

hehe, sexual harassment panda "who lives in the east 'neath the willow tree? Sexual harassment..panda? Who explains sexual harassment to you and me? Sexual harassment..panda" -sexual harassment panda Im suing my parents for giving me a nose i dont like. And for making my penis too small. Im suing george bush for decieving the country (even though you cant sue the government) Im suing south park for making me laugh so hard i almost choked on a pickle. Im suing god for making marijuana SOOOOOO good. What an asshole. I got some crazy stories about suing for you guys. 1. Two FAT ASS teenagers tried to sue mcdonald's because they were fat as fuck. O yea, Mcdonald's employees put a shotgun up to your head and told you to eat those big mac's, fatasses. 2. A woman sued mcdonalds because "the coffe was too hot". Not like they have a message on the coffe cups saying "contents are hot, you jackass" She drove down the road a little bit and spilled it on her own lap. it wasnt like the employee spilled it on her. I got a couple more but ill have to look them up

Hominis: Back then there was no hot coffee warning sign, thats why she sued, and thats why theres the warnings now

She drove down the road a little bit and spilled it on her own lap.[/b] In her defense, she did get vaginal burns from the coffee.

[/b] Jesus, I've heard of that before. It makes me sick. Fat, lazy, greedy bastards don't have the small amount of will power that it takes to stop and say, "Twenty burgers a meal is enough". It's discusting. I go to fast food places all the time, and I'm not fat. I actually exercise. Fat people can't just go ahead and blame their own greed on every restaurant, all food manufacturers, and all other caterers. That can't be blamed on good old maccy D's.

It's because of lawyers They see something like this and think "Oh yeaaaah, now I'm gonna get every single Star Bucks customer who was refused the same coupon, but didn't actually give a shit, and encourage them to sue too so I can get richer." Humans are greedy enough without lawyers making it easier and more convenient to sue and get rich for idiotic reasons.

You don't say? [/b] I love you. That was so funny.

[/b] Oh, so it is Okay for Big Corporations to screw everybody over and not ever expect any semblance of Justice? It was not just one Coupon. Starbucks had issued a full Edition of Coupons -- a Full Campaign of Coupons, and then simply changed its mind and decided, once the Customers were banging on their doors, that more money could be made by Selling the coffee. Well, the way Starbucks had conducted this Campaign was that Select Employees were told to pass these Coupons out to "Friends and Family". It was these very special people that were thrown out of the Coffee Shops. Well, considering the Abuse and the Provocation, I think that 112 Million Dollars is hardly enough. We must consider whether it is enough to inflict any serious Corporate Pain. People were insulted. Feelings were hurt. Trusts had been betrayed. Is 112 Million Dollars enough to make the Corporate Bosses hurt in the same proportion. Is it enough so that we can say that justice was served? But you would have a World where those Corporate Fat Cats could just belly laugh at all the rest of us, and make jokes about their Employees "Friends and Family" being kicked out of the shops like rejected beggers. Let me guess... you're a Republican, aren't you?

Oh yes Leo, I'm so sure people's lifes will have been damaged beyond repair and are now traumatized because of a coupon. [/b] No one is talking about being damaged beyond repair. We are only talking about a Multi-Billion Dollar Corporation being sued for a piddling 112 million dollars because they insulted their employees. What is it with ordinary people that they side with these Barbarian Exploiters. You are like watch dogs that carry the burgler's flashlight for him. You should be biting, but you don't even bark. Instead you want to help these pillagers rape the world. Evil, your name is Republican. Tell me I'm wrong.

[TweaK]

Hahaha. I never said I disagreed with your post - I just said you are talking about a huge scam where people's trusts have been betrayed and all that jazz. It's not really that much of a biggy imho, it happens all the time here :S

It's not really that much of a biggy imho, it happens all the time here :S [/b] I can't understand your lack of social imagination and empathy. Put yourself you in the place of one of these Employees that was told to give these coupons out to Friends and Family. So you give one to your Mother in Law, and another to a Friend who has been criticizing you for wasting your college education working in a coffee shop. Your arguement is that it is a Good Company to work for. The next day your mother in law is bitching that you lied to her... again. And your friend is ragging on you for working in the Coffee Shop again, only now you have absolutely no defense, because the company had just disgraced itself and you along with it. And you can't put yourself into any of this. Hey, I am almost ready to say that if we cut you, you will not bleed red. Or maybe you are still a child. Grow up and let the world slap you around a little bit, and maybe that will put some fight in you. Maybe you will begin to understand why other people are getting so pissed off.

Alright alright, you got me. I'm not up for a discussion right now, so I'll just give in. :F [Edit] And I want my bloody Office 2007 Beta CD -_-;
