A MAN is suing McDonald’s for US$1.5 million after a restaurant in California gave him only one serviette with his meal. Webster Lucas says staff at the McDonalds in Pacoima only gave him one serviette with his Quarter Pounder deluxe and when he asked for extra ones the manager refused, saying he’d already been given one.
In an email to the store’s general manager Mr Lucas claims the fallout from the serviette incident has left him unable to work because of “undue mental anguish and the intentional infliction of emotional distress”.
TMZ reports Mr Lucas then said “I should have went to eat at the Jack-in-the-Box because I didn’t come here to argue over napkins. I came here to eat.”
Mr Lucas, an African American, alleges the manager was then racist towards him, mumbling something that sounded like “you people”.
He is now seeking US$1.5 million in damages from McDonald’s.
