Not socially acceptable You don’t see this sort of lawsuit every day. A sheriff’s deputy in Washington state has sued Burger King claiming that the restaurant chain was negligent in hiring and training an employee after the deputy was served a hamburger with a large glob of spit on it. The police were able to match the spit to one of the Burger King employees.
Although the idea of going to court over expectoration (pardon the euphemism) has its humorous aspect, you can’t blame the deputy for not thinking it was very funny. On the other hand one has to wonder what amount of money the deputy might be entitled to. Understandably he was no doubt disgusted, perhaps offended, but it wouldn’t seem that he would be entitled to very much in compensation unless he suffered some sort of illness which required medical attention, which is doubtful.
