Fat Employee Sues McDonald's
This time it's a BRAZILIAN activist judge legislating from the bench:
A Brazilian court ruled this week that McDonald's must pay a former franchise manager $17,500 because he gained 65 pounds while working there for a dozen years.
The 32-year-old man said he felt forced to sample the food each day to ensure quality standards remained high, because McDonald's hired "mystery clients" to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness.
The man also said the company offered free lunches to employees, adding to his caloric intake while on the job. His identity was not released.
Fuck him. An <i>American</i> can gain 65 pounds in just TEN years just working in an office. (Don&#039;t ask how I know this.) U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! ...ugh, chest pain, arm numb, room growing dark, can&#039;t find cheese fries, need socialist health care, stat...
Well, no....see, he meant &quot;high&quot; as in &quot;stoned&quot;. He was checking to ensure that the burgers had enough grease and salt to appeal to people who had been smoking pot all afternoon. I&#039;m sure it&#039;s just a translation issue.
