HOUSTON — A Houston man is suing Whataburger for nearly $1 million after he says his burger had onions on it.

Turns out he had asked for a no-onions order.

On July 24, 2024, Demery Ardell Wilson had an allergic reaction after eating a burger that had onions on it at Whataburger, court documents say. He alleges that he requested the fast-food chain to take them off before serving him the burger.

    You’re talking systemic change.

    Yes.

    If your goal is to hurt the business

    Yes.

    As far as I’m concerned, fast food, as well as larger corporations outside the food industry, have been hurting the average human being, and nature as a whole, for far too long. We’ve tried the accountability route and things have only gotten worse (pointing fingers at tariffs/inflation/shrinkflation/taxes/stock market/rich piggies stuff).

    So in that context, lawsuits won’t do shit but placate the people it hurts long enough for them to keep sodomizing us and get away with it.

      Given that most of the comment thread was about if the lawsuit was justified or not, you can understand how a sudden shift to systemic justice and the morality of corporations might be a little unexpected.

      So it sounds like you’re saying the people who have been hurt shouldn’t recoup their damages, since that just stalls the continued fucking over without consequences, and instead they should… Let them get away with it, embrace getting fucked over, and take the consequences of the company onto themselves? The exact same outcome, except the corporation has even fewer costs?
