LONDON: A man is suing McDonald's for $1.5million in a
dispute allegedly sparked off by the fact that he was given only one napkin
with his meal. Webster Lucas claimed he is "unable to work" due to
the "emotional distress" caused by the incident at the outlet in
Pacoima, California, TMZ reported.
Lucas launched the lawsuit following the confrontation on 29
January.
He claimed he was given one serviette when he ordered a
Quarter Pounder Deluxe, but when he went to the counter to ask for more, he was
refused by the manager.
Lucas, who is African-American, alleged that the
Mexican-American manager was racist towards him and mumbled something that
sounded like "you people".
He subsequently emailed the fast food chain to complain,
saying has had suffered "undue mental anguish" as a result of the
incident.
According to TMZ, he was offered free burgers, but is now
seeking $1.5 million in compensation.
