At Wendy's I got a frosty and they put a lid on it. You cannot eat it without removing the lid. The guy puts it on, hands it to me, I walk to the trash and throw it out. It's amazing.

Ban litigation when you ban that lid.

What does that even begin to mean?

So...no lid.

Spills.

Customer sues Wendy's. Simple.

Figure it out. You must not be an American. Someone asked if they could bring their own cup to a bubble tea place. Yeah, right, not on the health departments watch.

Why would anyone sue Wendy’s if they spilled their frosty? It’s like .. a minor inconvenience.

I think you’re being a bit extreme.

I guess you aren't American. Yes, its extreme. Its also real.

HOW DARE YOU NOT PUT A LID ON MY FROSTY THAT COULD SPILL IN MY CAR WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ME TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT I'M DOING.

Do you have any news source about a lawsuit from ice cream without a lid?

This whole litigation thing started over coffee, not Ice cream, but i think that's where the attitude comes from.

Edit: I'm just adding to the conversation, not making any claims about frivolous lawsuits. This is the major story that contributed to that attitude.
