Bakery Mishap

elated · ‎06-09-2010

I heard on the radio today that a man was suing a bakery because of a bagel mishap. He asked for real butter and he got margarine. He sued and received $500.00 plus 9 bakery treats. Fourteen other people followed suit and got 3 bakery treats.The attorney was paid $90,000. How crazy have we gotten over lawsuits???

If they had told the truth about the butter, it could have all bee avoided.

The lawyer made out pretty good!

I Can't Believe They Didn't Get Butter!

I would not have sued but they had a valid point which is misrepresenting what they are serving.

Sue? How about "Could I have a new one with real butter, please?"

The lawyer mad $90k off a $500 settlement? What judge approved that?

I think everyone's burying the lead w/ this.

The r.e.a.l. lawsuit should be against

the dude putting butter on a bagel.

I think it's a silly lawsuit but it wasn't 1 visit, 1 bagel that he could have just exchanged. It was apparently at 23 different Dunkin Donuts, so dozens of visits, AND he paid extra for butter, so it is misrepresentation like @Noel7 said.
