i wasn't gonna say this, but i will. anyone with such an allergic reaction that blindly bites into food is not very wish. (i put that as gently and politely as i could). besides, from what i read in the article in question, the burden of proof is on the guest in this situation.
1. they went through the drive-thru, got their order and had plenty of time to check the order before even leaving the premises.
2. they drove approximately 40.92 miles from Star City WV to Clarksburg, WV. never once (at least there is no mention of it) checking their order.
3. Then the guy took a bite out of the burger, in a darkened room, without so much as checking it to see if it was safe to eat (yes, i know that this leads back to the McDonald's preparation, but (bear with me a moment) took the risk anyway.
4. the majority of times i've gone out with family (as a passenger) and went to pick up some take out) since not everyone gets the same thing, someone has to look at the food to make sure each person got what they ordered. it's common sense with multiple orders, isn't it?
5. who's to say he got the right order or, for that matter, didn't place some cheese on the burger at home in order to make himself ill (i'm sure this question would be brought up in court so it's not an unreasonable theory).
we shall have to wait and see how this plays out in the end.
Right. He had time to say no cheese five times, and a 40 mile ride home, but didn't have time to lift the bun. Why would anyone eat anything from McDonald's after that long, anyways? The stuff's bad enough if it's hot.
