Ah...wrong.

I wasn't discussing individual preference but the actual regulations
for the coffee being served at the drive through window?

What do you mean poured from the pot? Since when does Macdonalds pour
coffee from a pot through the drive through window?

Which would once again, have been an insignificant risk if the coffee
had been at the usual temperature. It would have just been a dry
cleaning bill and a bit of discomfort. Your claim is like claiming
that when one buys meat at the supermarket one buys the risk of
botulism and therefore the supermarket shouldn't be held liable.
