Well, in the article it does say that she wants others who have been burned to join her case.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Sure....that's what she REALLY wants...
Come on...She knows if she's alone she wont get a penny...If was the judge I'd sentence her to 3months in jail...and I'd have the lawyer hanged by the balls in a hail storm.

In order to have something worthwile to talk about: it's amazing how companies keep underestimating the power of the internet. Did Starbucks seriously not realize that the coupons could be forwarded ad infinitum?
It reminds me of a case in which a Belgian sandwich franchise started an online quiz with questions about the company. If you'd get all the question right you could win a coupon for a free sandwich. Naturally the correct answers to the questions were posted on every forum in Belgium, which meant everybody could get a free sandwich without effort, multiple times. Needless to say, the quiz didn't last long.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

Do any of you work at Starbucks or any other location that serves boiling hot coffee?

Well, I hope that no one thinks Starbucks was in the right here. Just because the woman won't win her suit, at least it teaches Starbucks a valuable lesson.Originally posted by Colon™

I think she is right in principle, but the sum is ludicrous...I certainly think that for withdrawing an offer like that should meet with a hefty fine...and they should certainly honour their obligations.Speaking of Erith:
