Geez in my day if we accepted a soda with the lid half off and we spilled it on ourselves, we'd swear a couple of times and then mutter "That was f$$kin dumb" then drive off.
Nowadays its "Not my fault wahhhhh you should snivle pay for my stupidity"

That is one of the mysteries of life. Sort of like stonehenge. How the hell does McDonalds stay in business after all these years with that food and that menu?
Is it really Shrek toys and mini beanies??

While I don't like most of their food, I love their fries, especially when they're piping hot.

I haven't eaten at McDonald's in 10 years, mostly because the food sucks, the other part is the service sucks.
That said, if you saw the lid wasn't on properly, and you still tried to take the cup and spilled it on yourself, sorry you don't have a case. If you didn't know, then maybe you have more of a case.
As Ken said, the phone shouldn't have been on your lap in the first place (mind you would it still have been wet if it was on your hip? Either way, you took the risk of spilling it when you saw the lid wasn't on all the way)
As for the post questioning why he even got a pop from McDonald's in the first place and not buy a flat from Costco. Last I checked (and I could be wrong as it has been a decade) drinks come with a Value Meal. So the 2 cents of syrup and water is already included. In addition, even if he didn't buy a value meal and needed a quick fix, for $1 it's quicker and easier than going into a corner store or gas station where you can get the bottled stuff (albeit better quality) but for twice the price.

Maybe his lap and the phone were already "wet" before the incident and he's just trying to cover it up.

Oh the horror of losing control in Jr High only to try so hard to have a plausible cover story that you are willing to sacrifice your big gulp to the cause.
Not that I know anything about that.

I like how this thread turned from puckluck's soda pop mishap into a discussion of how to cover up premature ejaculation.

And they charge $1.50 for the coffee and muffin?
that's not a very good business model. That can't be it.
They must sell drugs on the side.

To each his own though.

I dunno, I still eat at MacDonalds once in awhile. Healthy? Definitely not, but it's sure damn tasty. It's my guilty pleasure. I guess I'm no food afficionado.

You pissed yourself in jr. high?! In regards to my previous post, the most premature I got was the mid-class flip-up.

I might have had a 'friend' that did.
Actually, to be honest, the details are not entirely correct but equally as embarrassing.

puckluck, don't listen to these guys they are just giving you a hard time. You totally have a case here. I'm not a lawyer but here is what I would consider doing:
- march into the store with a friend to video the exchange of you explaining this to the manger and demanding compensation. Post that here so that we can all help with your case.
- don't forget to use phrases such as "how hard is it to put a lid on properly" or "don't you people know how to do your job?!"
- remember that you have clearly been wronged. It makes total sense to have your blackberry on your crotch while in the drive-thru. That when someone calls or texts you feel the vibration instantly. It's the fact that this big faceless corporation failed to notice that has caused the damage here.
- if they can't secure their lids adequately then they should either serve their drinks in a can or not at all.
- above all, this is not your fault. That and the video so that we can best assist you in this tragic situation.

Is that why you're here? After all a discussion of McDonalds is definitely too low brow for a scholar like yourself!
