Judge: McDonald's must pay employee $17.5K for weight gained on the job
Judge: McDonald's must pay obese employee $17.5K – 1 hr 58 mins ago
The 32-year-old man said he felt forced to sample the food each day to ensure quality standards remained high, because McDonald's hired "mystery clients" to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness.
The man also said the company offered free lunches to employees, adding to his caloric intake while on the job. His identity was not released.
The ruling was signed Tuesday by Judge Joao Ghisleni Filho in Porto Alegre.
Ghisleni said McDonald's could appeal the case, and the Brazilian headquarters of the chain said in an e-mailed statement Thursday it was weighing its legal options.
McDonald's also noted that it offers healthier food choices.
"The chain offers a large variety of options and balanced menus to cater (to) the daily dietary needs of its employees," the company said in the statement.
McDonald's headquarters is in Oak Brook, Illinois. Hag. Muse. Web Goddess. Taurean. Tree Hugger. Poet. Professional Nerd. Geek.

65 pounds over 10 years actually sounds like normal weight gain for an inactive sedentary person eating fattening food. At least he did not gain 200-300 pounds. I can't really see how he proved all that gain was due to Mickey D's but I want to sue them for my weight gain too. He would have gotten more money spilling hot coffee in his own crotch... | |

This whole compensation culture has gotten out of hand . People need to stand up and take responsibility for themselves , not just in this case but in general . | |

It's disgusting. People want their "freedom" but want to be "nannied" at the same time. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! |
