Testifying in court Thursday, Monita and her mother, described how the burns had led to work and school absences plus an onset of loneliness and depression.

But in the cross-examination, Bill Miller’s attorneys reminded Monita that upon learning of the incident, the restaurant sent her a check for her medical bills, offered to clean her car, and cover any lost wages from work absence – discretions that she reportedly declined, said Fox SA. The restaurant attorneys stressed that the teen never returned to her medical clinic after the first consultation and has retained her job.

The sense of entitlement is unreal ...

McDonald's Coffee v. 2.0 this is not. That lawsuit was legitimate. This one probably isn't.
