Additionally, McDonalds has deep pockets. If this had happened at someone's home, there would be no money to go after; perhaps the district attorney would file a criminal charge.
Also note had this happened at Bill & Nada's Cafe, there would have been a suit, but maybe for $20k, not $200 million.

I can understand that - though if I could make the rules, I wouldn't allow corproations to be sued for the actions of their employees. Of course, had McDonalds instructed this manager to do those things, I'd be all for McDonalds getting sued.
Is personal responibility now archaic thinking in the field of law?
