But here's the thing: Pizza can't be served that hot. It's not possible. It's more than possible, in fact highly likely, that a hot liquid such as coffee is served hot enough to burn. Why is it too much to ask for someone to be careful with a 190 degree liquid? If someone makes coffee at home and it's that hot, shouldn't they be able to sue someone if they spill it? Maybe the utility company that provides power to the stove? The whole idea is silly. She fucked up, not McDick's. The severity of the burns aren't the issue. The issue is whether or not someone is responsible for their own handling of a hazardous substance, in this case hot coffee. You have to be careful with it same as you have to be careful with boiling water when you strain pasta. You know it's hot, you know it has the potential to injure you. I have a feeling that an 81 year old has caught on to the fact that coffee is hot and that hot liquids can burn.
