Too Fat for Fast Food?

Yeah, Yeah…I know. It has been FOREVER since I updated my blog. I’ve been busy. Increased workload, then I was laid off from my job, now searching for a new job and somehow becoming the errand runner for everyone since I’m no longer employed. Just for the record, searching for a job is way harder than going to work everyday. FOR. REAL.
I found it necessary to update the blog this morning after reading a news story regarding a man who is suing White Castle because he can’t fit into their standard size booths. I’m not surprised at all considering people are ‘sue happy’ these days. Frivilous lawsuits are aplenty. Honestly, if I order coffee I expect it to be hot. That’s a given, but apparently not everyone agrees with me since the plaintiff was awarded $2.86 million dollars. A judge later reduced to a mere $64,000…hmmm…
Okay, so back to the White Castle lawsuit. The guy suing White Castle claims he was unable to fit into the restuarant booths and was “humiliated” and ‘felt like an outcast”. DUDE, 1/3 of Americans are obese. In addition, I read statistics a few years ago that stated 68% of Americans are overweight. I seriously doubt he was in the minority-especially while eating at a White Castle. His noted weight was 290 pounds. Oh, and for the record, 12 years ago I weighed 301 pounds. I sometimes had trouble fitting into booths so I opted to sit at a table or GO THROUGH DRIVE THRU. I think this lawsuit is bologna (which, by-the-way I do not eat nor do I recommend eating because it is gross).
IF YOU ARE TOO FAT TO FIT INTO THE WHITE CASTLE BOOTH-DON’T EAT THERE! Simple, right? I guess not.
