Also there is a lot more to the "Stella" lawsuit than meets the eye. McDonalds was hardly without fault and WAS negligently and intentionally serving scaldingly hot coffee. Doesn't mean Stella was clever but I'd avoid smugly making assumptions about baseless lawsuits mentioned in Internet gossip.

Be careful about conclusions when you don't have all the facts.
My son and daughter-in-law sue corporations who have blatantly totally ignored laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. As the US has no effective enforcement procedure for violations of these laws, lawsuits are the only means available.
If the corporation would follow the laws, they wouldn't get sued.
I spent some time investigating a number of Taco Bells in CA. Totally inaccessible bathrooms, doors you couldn't get a wheelchair through, etc., etc. Yet the ADA has been in effect since 1990.
