Note the part of the sentence, "unreasonable amounts of money". That doesn't mean the lawsuits still don't happen, costing business owners thousands of dollars just to get them thrown out. Sometimes it's cheaper to throw the complainant a few thousand dollars, which they'll claim as a win, just to go away cause it's cheaper than going to court.

I was going to show two examples from my own restaurants but decided against it. You would not believe these were even considered by any attorney much less the judge who was willing to listen to them.
