Agreed. And I honestly hope he doesn't recieve a dime, but at the same time I don't blame him for making the suit.

I think he's wrong in suing McDonald's, though. I can see him bringing personal civil suits against the crew, but how he can feel that the business entity is responsible I don't know. Oh wait, yes I do. It's all about the $$$.

Because the manager made his promise to secure the phone not as an individual, but in his role as a representative and agent of McDonalds.

I'm not saying he'd be right in suing McDonald's by any means, but the fact is he has a lot more to gain monetary wise if he was to sue McDonalds the corporation. People try and play him off as stupid for trying to sue over this, but honestly I think it more shows a sign of his intelligents. He's high balling a lawsuit of $3 million more than likely knowing there’s a good change the settlement could be in the 6-7 figure range.

Is the guy ethical in suing McDonalds? Maybe not, but the fact is he's only human. If I was in his place and I knew I had a fighting chance at $3 million. Sh!t!!!
