I'm voting for the "healthy" dining option and/or the money part of it, that took the "cheese" away. No restaurant management would be privy to the actual reason, and no one who knows it would tell a manager.
Unless the manager had seen multiple issues with the hot "cheese", in which case, it probably wasn't safe to be there anyway.
If she did burn herself on the cheese, I would take care of it. Cool it. Maybe wrap it up and possibly Tylenol for pain. Not Sue Disney.
I really like the other stuff you said. And it's not like I'm saying I don't like the quoted part, BUT, should anything ever happen, be *careful* what you say at the ER. If for example she fell while playing at the neighbor's, and you don't want to get the neighbors sued, just say she fell. Period. Because for incidents where the insurance company thinks someone else might be at fault, you'll get a letter from your health insurance company asking more about the incident. Where it happened, what happened, etc. If you say "she fell at the neighbor's house", it will go down an abyss of problems, and the neighbor will end up being sued by you on behalf of the insurance company (or something like that).
The two times we got letters like that...one was for a burn and one was for a fall. Both of them were totally DS's and our faults. The second one happened AT Target, but it wasn't Target's fault. (unless we wanted to make a change that had them not tether mittens together, because THAT is what caused him to not be able to break his fall) So we were very very careful in our wording with that one, and for the burn it just happened at home, toddler "helping" dad with dinner, ugh.
I could tell they REALLY wanted those incidents to be the fault of others, so they didn't have to pay it directly.
I can tell you actually KNOW about the McD's thing, and I thank you sincerely for that. So easy to just "know" the sound bite, without knowing that the elderly woman originally just wanted medical bills for the *skin grafts* she got to have on her groin area from spilling coffee in her lap...coffee that was meant to be drunk. And that McD's was *known* for having coffee that was hotter than the standard and it wasn't the only time they had gotten in trouble for it. (and the fact that no one knows what the settlement actually was, apart from the lawyers involved, her family, and court personnel...we know what the jury said, but we don't know what money actually crossed hands)
That would cut down on these nonsense suits.
You know the courts DO have a system to weed out the nonsense. Not everything goes to court. Suits do have to have merit to move on in the court system.
