Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy - Lemmy.World

Can’t believe so many people here are arguing in Starbucks favour here.

Sad state of affairs that people go out to defend them for such a simple easy thing to change.

Why do you think a business should be compelled to sell something at any given price? I mean sure, you can burn them in the court of public opinion, but it’s another thing when you say that government regulation should dictate the cost of a coffee beverage. I think that’s where most people are landing in this, they agree it’s stupid for Starbucks to do such a petty thing, but when it comes to lawsuits involving ADA regulations it crosses a line for reasonable response.

It’s almost like the lawsuit for hot coffee where the person argued they didn’t know the coffee was hot

(…wikipedia.org/…/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurant….)

Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants - Wikipedia

You mean the incident where McDonald made the coffee so hot it was beyond safe and the woman had 3rd degree burns fusing her pelvic region together?

That case is one of the most well known examples of how corporations turn serious safety incidents into “haha stupid customer not know obvious thing”, as if the victim was to blame for McDonalds wrong doing.

I still don’t understand how the “hot coffee” debunking isn’t known world round by this point.
