A Lawsuit Against One Of Your Vacation Stop Restaurants

[JerryB]

Hi MarkLawson,

Re: There's an assumption the lawsuit is frivolous, and it may be, but it may also be legit. I, for one, don't know.

None of us know enough to offer a truthful comment on it.

If anyone would actually take the time to search & read about the MacDonald's hot coffee lawsuit you would learn a lot about why it was actually MacDonald's fault. I did and it was eye opening.

Just my $0.02,

None of us know enough to offer a truthful comment on it.

But then the jokes started rolling in...

And I didn't start them! Honest!

I have to agree with Bob. I have been to that exact restaurant several times, and the rolls as extremely soft. I would find it very difficult for someone's eye to be damaged; but maybe he was injured somehow.

I would pay for his damages, and give him a dozen rolls to go; then send him on his way.

Kinda have to agree with Mark. It is very possible to injure the eye with a "soft" object. It doesn't take much to scratch the cornea. But I still say, this is getting stale. Lets roll on to another topic.

[Bigmeech]

The question is does he KNEAD the dough??

[Rawhide kid]

Either way, I think he is a CRUSTY old fart.

Here is the latest version of the article from the internet where everything is correct. Yesterday it stated a man was suing, that has now been corrected to a woman is suing.

"She says she sustained a lacerated cornea due to the restaurant's bread-throwing antics.
A woman is suing a Missouri restaurant known for throwing rolls at customers for throwing a roll at her. According to the Riverfront Times, Lambert's Cafe is a restaurant chainlet "proudly" known as the "Home of Throwed Rolls" where servers lob bread rolls across the restaurant at guests. (If there was any doubt as to the restaurant's commitment to roll throwing, its website URL is throwedrolls.com.) However, the airborne carb bombing went completely wrong for one customer. Troy Tucker is suing the restaurant over a severe injury she claims to have received due to the restaurant's bread-throwing antics.
Tucker says she "sustained a lacerated cornea with a vitreous detachment and all head, neck, eyes and vision were severely damaged," while visiting the restaurant last September. Fox4KC notes that Tucker now wants $25,000 to pay for her medical bills and legal fees. Troy claims in the lawsuit that throwing rolls is a "defective condition" and that the restaurant already knew, or should have known, about the "danger of this practice." Throwing things at customers might not be the best decision, but just how hard did a server have to chuck the roll to cause damage to her vision, eyes, neck, and head? Eater reached out to Lambert's Cafe, but reps for the restaurant had "no comment" on the situation.
This isn't the first time a customer has filed a somewhat over-the-top lawsuit against a restaurant. Earlier this year a woman decided to sue P.F. Chang's over what she deemed to be a discriminatory gluten-free menu. The pan-Asian chain charges a dollar more for gluten-free items (to cover the higher food costs) but she believes that the surcharge discriminates against those who can't eat gluten and that it violates the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Update 8/14/15; 9:10 a.m.: An earlier version of this story referred to the plaintiff, Troy Tucker, as a man. She is a woman."

Lamberts will now issue these upon entrance to their restaurants to all customers.

So she went into the "Home of The Throwed-Roll", and is surprised that she took one for the team?
This seems similar to putting your hand into the mouth of a bobcat, and being surprised when kitty bites...

The sign on the building and ads state "Home of the throwed roll". So I think the onus is on her, if she can't catch she shouldn't have put her hand up. I too,was hit by a roll, but I would never have thought of sueing a company for my own inability. OK, now I fell better, frivilous lawsuits get my panties in a wad. Penny

I thought that's what post 19 stated in the link.

I thought that's what post 19 stated in the link.

When I started this thread I quoted that a man was suing based on the article--which I did not post. Your post #19 did state woman--which was contrary to what I had originally posted. I decided to post the most recent update to clear up any misunderstanding.

Now we have it right and its from the internet.
