I totally approve of these types of lawsuits.
I do too, but I wonder what kind of mental problem that guy has to invest money in lawyer and court fees, plus tons of personal time, to get this going.
The mental illness known as "tired of everyone getting fucked with no recourse"
He appears to have some kind of backbone
That's the primary feature of texans. It's so big it actually fills most of the cranium.
I'd rather be courageous than smart
Yes, the world needs more knuckle-dragging grunts to take advantage of.
I should ask my psychologist if she can help me get rid of that feeling without focusing on just the symptoms.
i wonder what kind of mental illness some already rich bigwig has to have to defraud even our fucking soda
The lawyer probably took the case on a contingent basis (doesn't get paid unless he wins), and the dude will probably get a fat check. That's not a mental problem, that's cashing in big on a corporate lie he discovered.
idk how much he'll actually get considering his damages are a couple ounces of beer.
As a Class Action lawsuit, it is a couple ounces of beer across every person who has ordered a 24oz. Could be pretty lucrative
None, these types of cases barely ever go to trial, they will end with a settlement of which the lawyers will take a portion as compensation.
I dunno, standards? Principles?
Sometimes it's about that, not personal gain
Isn't it fucked up that expecting what you paid for has left people asking what mental problems he has? That's how far we've fallen.
One of the many symptoms of autism is having a very strong sense of justice and demanding fairness in all things, sometimes to an obsessive degree. He's probably just one of us.
L take, not everyone is autistic.
Not everyone would spend the money and time to sue a business over 2 ounces of liquid, either.
Working on contigent. The guy gets a large payout and the lawyers take a percentage.
large? That's not how class action works at all.
Large overall, not saying anything about the amount per person.
Alcoholism
Yes, having a drink while out and about having a good time is definitely a sign of alcoholism...
Unfortunately I'm seeing far too often younger people think that having a single beer makes you an alcoholic.
