This is egregiously wrong but I don’t feel like getting into it. The coffee was brewed at the temperature it needs to be brewed in order to be coffee. And Stella suffered great damages but not because of McDonald’s negligence, but because she spilled hot coffee on her crotch.
The brewing temperature of the coffee is irrelevant. It was served at a temperature McDonald’s acknowledged they knew A) was too hot to drink right away, and B) would cause 3rd degree burns if spilled on someone. Yet they continued to have a policy of serving coffee at that temperature despite hundreds of previous complaints. And someone spilling coffee on themselves in a drive thru is totally foreseeable. I agree with you that McD’s wasn’t negligent, though. They were reckless.
