A California jury Friday imposed a $50 million fine on Starbucks in the case of a delivery driver burned by a scalding cup of hot tea at a company location in Los Angeles.

Michael Garcia was picking up three drinks in 2020 but one, he claimed, was “negligently” unsecured and spilled in his lap. He claimed that he consequently “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals” and he was taken to an emergency room by paramedics.

        Thanks, OK watched it, and the server very clearly put the drinks thoroughly in the tray.
        And the driver 100% drops the drinks himself. Also he is parked too far away from the window, so the server has to stretch quite a bit to give it to him.
        Seems to me it’s at least as much the drivers drivers fault. But wua wua he was the victim. 😜😜😜
