Obese Man Sues White Castle Hamburgers

He's not suing because eating the fast food made him fat....he's suing because he is fat, and he wants White Castle to have bigger, more comfortable seating so fat people can eat more hamburgers there....

It is a bit fucking stupid having tiny chairs fixed a short distance from the tables in such cathedrals to obesity. :hehe:

Actually, it makes the most sense...kind of like in amusement parks when folks have to stand next to the measuring stick to make sure they are tall enough to ride the ride. If you can't fit in the chair, you need to go get a salad with no dressing....

And, I don't know - I'm not sure how one can criticize White Castle too much. They steam their burgers, rather than fry them, and they serve them in little tiny burger sizes, so you can control exactly how many calories you eat. The problem is, people eat them by sacks of 10, which, of course, is their right, but White Castle has given them the option to eat a reasonable 2 or 3 burgers....

I once went 48 hours without food, at age 9, because I wouldn't eat those damn things.

I can't figure out why the company would make that kind of promise to a customer, even going so far as showing the guy the specs. Maybe the downturn in the economy made it unfeasible to do the renos? The lawsuit is weird, but to be frank, like another post said, just from a pure business point of view I don't understand why a place like that wouldn't have seating for fat people. Fat people must be very important customers to them.

I also wonder about the bit where he says he's been waiting two years. It would be really sad if they actually have made the seats bigger, and he's just gotten fatter and didn't notice.
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Sadly, it probably is, although I don't think the ADA has defined morbid obesity as a "disability" quite yet.

There's a breakfast/lunch cafe in Boulder that has the world's most uncomfortable seating. It's hard, tight, and uncomfortable and the booths and tables are jammed quite close together. It's quite deliberate. They have a line of people standing outside the door every morning, summer and winter, to get one of the best short-order breakfasts around. They guarantee that you'll get your meal within five minutes of sitting down, but they also expect you to eat it and get the hell out and let someone else eat, and they have no qualms about booting you out of a table if you're simply idling about during their rush periods.

That's the defense that White Castle should use, as if they need one. I think they should just ban him from all their outlets permanently for being a pain in their ass. And they should counter-sue him for damages and costs for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
