Point of view from Europe: doesn't matter that Coffee sue wasn't about millions just thousands, the main issue is that she won. That is what we laugh about. You can act as brainless and won money. If you order hot coffee you can pay your own bill when you spill it on you. So thanks to her and only her Gourleys got limited money.

As an European myself, I fully disagree; getting a cup of coffee at 82ºC is not reasonable, and spilling it on yourself should never cause 2nd degree burns. The payout was completely justified. And the fact that it was standard policy and not an error further solidifies the point.

Seriously. Coffee is hot. Traditional methods of preparing it involve boiling water. If you are not smart enough to avoid pouring boiling hot coffee in your lap, I have little sympathy for you.
