The McDonald's lawsuit was kind of a weird one. It was not a one off screw up, it was a repeat offense that they were told to fix yet they did not. Kind of like three strikes, you're out. This lady just got the benefit of it I guess you could say. I think a better way for the courts to handle that might have been to make McDonald's give a large proportion of the penalty money to charity and give her some money for her troubles, but they did what they did.
