If you can get money from eating Mc Donald and getting fat, of for dropping your coffee on you, then I guess it's not too surprising they'd eventually start awarding some for psychological and emotional damage too. I wonder what they'll think of next.
Serious trouble, probably, but several million dollars is just over the top. Couldn't they just get jail time? Or maybe a fine that they actually had some remote chance of paying some day?

I don't think McDonald's should be paying either. As I have never lived in America, I may not be qualified for criticizing the local legal system, but the stories make it sound terrible for all concerned, except the lawyers.
