Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer

New York, NY (AHN) - A lawyer has won a lawsuit against coffee chain, Starbucks, after a hot cup of decaf was spilled on her foot.

Alice Griffin, a 42 year old Manhattan attorney, says she was at a Starbucks on Seventh Avenue when the clerk failed to put an insulating sleeve on the cup, then slid the cup across the counter, where it fell on her foot.

A jury awarded Griffin $310,000 from Starbucks in a ruling upheld by State Supreme Court Justice Emily Jane Goodman.

According to CBS, Starbucks says it regrets her pain, but it says the company will appeal the jury verdict if a better settlement can't be reached.
Good thing her finger wasn't cut off ... Starbucks would be bankrupted ...

What ya expect from a lawyer? She's prob going to claim mental stress over the choice of toppings with her coffee next.

Had a manager once who used to appear for work, sometimes in a total crappy suit and others he was dressed OK.

Found out - when he wore the crappy suit, he used spend his lunchtime in a store that sold paint. He made sure a can of paint from a top shelf lands on the floor and splashes paint over his crappy suit when he then makes a claim against the store.

The "technique" was to buy branded (and what was expensive clothing when it was new) clothing from some junk store and then claim the full replacement cost which could be anything from $1000 - $3000 on each claim.

The idiot didn't need a salary - he was doing better with a few claims against stores in a week, so he didn't last long
