punitive damages!

neuro trauma and therapist costs is probably the most mentioned reason.


If the company agreed to pay for the psychiatrist visits that's one thing. But these people want cash settlements which they "say" will go to psychiatrist visits, and they usually just end up buying themselves a new car and go on vacation.



You're right, they all do that.

But most also enter into gay marriage and burn the flag and join Al-Qaida and never loved Jesus and run over kittens in the giant SUV's that your taxes paid for.

Are people just inspecting their food more?
Me, I just open it up and eat. What I don't know what make me sick. That and at Arby's I put on like 2 packs worth of Horsey sauce on my sammiches, so i can't taste anything anyways.

Wow, you're smart.

*Extra credit- one of my sentences was a complete lie. See if you can find it.

Where's the evidence? I suppose it disappeared, right? Hmmm...seems likely this guy is a copycat and noticed that the manager had his hand bandaged/gloved and made an assumption. Seems to me if he had kept the offending sandwich or piece of skin, this case would be said and done if it matched up the to missing skin on the manager. Of course, he was so traumatized that he threw it away, right?

Case in point, my mother got some ice cream from Baskin Robbins once and found a fingernail in her scoop of ice cream. It was clearly a fake nail that the scooper lost in the tub of ice cream at some point. Anyway, she actually hat it in her mouth because it looked like a marachino cherry in her ice cream until she realized it was rock hard. She spit it out, slung a few profanities about it and put it in the cup, in the freezer. Moral of the story, if my mother has the common sense to save the evidence, which she later threw away because the case would have been weak at best (ie.-they could say she put it there, etc.), then this asswipe can quell his sickly little stomach long enough to call a manager over and demand that photos be taken and the situation be reported on site. Of course, none of that happened and this is all probably heresay after the fact.

How large was the cut on his hand? Was it similar in size to what he said he found in his sandwich?

Well, if the company only had to give the guy a new sandwich what's to stop them from doing nothing again when one of their employees slices off a chunk of skin into your sandwich? That's why they call them punitive damages. It is punishment for the business for their wrong doing. Clearly Arby's fvcked up on this and they should be punished.

Who cares what the guy does with his $50k? It's not really anyone's business but his.

And that has nothing to do with my statement at all. I covered the possibiliity that it actually happened, however, without proper evidence, how can this guy prove his case in a satisfactory manner? What if he was simply betting that what he says happened, after all, it's like a 50/50 chance for him, right? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but what I am saying is it can be a frivolous case with little or no evidence to prove what he says happened.

The guy finds a slice of skin in his sandwich. The manager says he sliced off some skin into some lettuce that was used.

How very improbable and unlikely that the guy finds a slice of skin in his sandwich on the same day that the manager slices his skin off into food. I mean, it just doesn't happen. I'm sure the skin evaporates into thin air before it actually makes it to somebody's mouth.
