Jeromy Jackson of Morgantown West Virginia (which is about 40 minutes away from me) is suing McDonald’s to the tune of ten million dollars for giving him a Quarter Pounder with Cheese when he specifically asked for no cheese. Well shit. If I knew I could sue restaurants for getting my order wrong I would be one hell of a rich women.
In all seriousness he is supposedly deathly allergic to cheese and said he told about 5 workers at the fast food chain so. What I do not understand is that if he is so damn allergic to cheese why he didn’t check his order before driving off. Hell, that’s what we do and we’re not allergic to anything. We double check the food just to make damn sure it’s what we ordered before heading home to find out that McDonald’s fucked up once again.
So he didn’t check his order before leaving the Star City McDonald’s. Ok, but I do not understand why they drove clear to Clarksburg (which is about 45 minutes away from Star City) before eating their food? Were they worried that there would be no McDonald’s in Clarksburg?
So he didn’t check to make sure there was no cheese before leaving the restaurant. You would then think he would check before devouring it right? Well you would be wrong! See, he couldn’t check it cause they were eating in an extremely dark room. They have an excuse answer for everything!
Jeromy took one bite and started having the reaction so one of his friends immediately called the McDonald’s to let restaurant employees know they had messed up the order. Yep. That’s exactly what I would be doing if I was having an allergic reaction. Only idiots would call an ambulance first *sarcasm*.
Something just doesn’t sit right with me about this case.

I think I read that the McDonald’s offered to pay for the medical bills but they refused. I think the bills were around $700..That sounds a little low for someone who was treated for a severe allergic reaction..

August 18, 2007 at 9:42 pmWhat the hell do people not sue about these days?! I swear, this kind of thing gets ridiculous… really, it does. If I had such a severe allergy to something, I wouldn’t set foot in a place that carried that product!
