Starbucks sued for pulling offer
Quote:
A Starbucks customer in the US who was told her free drink voucher was worthless is launching a $114m (£60m) lawsuit against the coffee colossus.

Starbucks pulled the free drink offer, saying it had been redistributed beyond its original intent.

The woman's lawyer says $114m equals the cost of drinks for all those turned away when the company decided to cancel its offer.
Quote from BBC News website.

has the world gone crazy? Its one free drink!!!!!

Pml .. Agree mate, there is no wonder the world is going to pot with idiotic suing scams like that .. I wonder if the Lawyer can produce the evidence to his claim .. that would keep the court busy for a few years if they all turned up to testify

Yeah, people are suing over everything. One that got me was the overweight people suing McDonald's because it made them fat... when they ate 3 meals per day there!

LOL that is exactly like this... they have also done it because they spilled coffee all over themselves and complained that the cup didn't say "Caution: HOT" on it... I don't think people should be rewarded for their own stupidity... otherwise many people in this world would be millionaires
