Man Injured at Fast Food Place

A 79-year-old man was slightly injured on Saturday while

waiting in his brand new convertible in a drive-through lane at
Burger Prince restaurant. Herman Sherman of Northville
suffered a mild burn about 9:00 p.m. when a young female
employee accidentally spilled a cup of coffee into his lap.
Sherman said the coffee was hot but not scalding.

He refused medical aid, saying the only problem was the

stain on his slacks, but it would wash out. He was given a fresh
refill. Before Sherman drove off, the restaurant manager, John
Johnson, gave him two free gift certificates--one for an extra-
large coffee and one for the restaurant's newest sandwich, the
McRap.

The employee, who was a new hire, was let go later that
evening. She was quite upset. She said she would probably sue
Burger Prince for letting her go. She said it was the man's fault
for ordering something that she might be able to spill.
