: : I have a serious problem with lack of personal responsibility in this country. .... Regardless of warning labels, as a human being who is old enough to know that coffee is hot, we should take it upon ourselves to be cautious when carrying a scalding cup of hot liquid.
: AMEN JEN !!!!
: When people crash cars .. why not sue manufacturer for not installing anti collision radar ?? .. When someone gets shot, why not sue gun maker for not installing infra-red target identification system ?? .. When someone cuts themself shaving, why not sue the manufacturer for making the blade sharp ??
: When did they pass an amendment that required this country to be idiot proof and 100% safe at all times ??
: When you poured the coffee, could you tell it was hot ?? .. COULD you have gone to the soda area and added ICE to it ?? .. Why didn't you pour yourself a WARM cup of coffee, or wait until it cooled to risk moving it ?? .. Did anyone else's cup fail, or was there some other statistical proof that there had been a defective batch of cups that Sheetz smuggled into their stores ??
: I think the BEST way to solve this would be to ban HOT coffee, or HOT anything !! .. less dangerous world that way !!
: EVOLUTION WORKS !! .. I don't recall God, the government, Sheetz, Juan Valdez or ANYONE guaranteeing me a safe, incident free life .. if someone INTENTIONALLY does something to hurt or harm you, then I think you have the right to recover damages. But if some quirk of fate or chance happening sets you back, just take the chance to ADAPT, ADJUST and LEARN .. don't look for a reason/excuse to try and EARN !!

Dude, chill out already.
