Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.

It says Mr Piccolo agreed to these terms of use when he signed up to a one month free trial of its streaming service, Disney+, in 2019.

The claim is that the victim repeatedly informed the waiter about her allergy needs and checked more than once whether her order could be prepared safely in accordance with her needs, the waiter repeatedly told her it was prepared accordingly, and it was not.

Restaurants are absolutely capable of allergen free food prep and telling customers which foods cannot be safely prepared. Disney is absolutely at fault.

Fine, but it is just weird they didn't have a notification in their restaurant regarding allergens and aren't just paying him the requested settlement - like this is the strangest, most expensive path they could have taken.

A notice isn't relevant. It doesn't remove their liability.

And he absolutely definitely shouldn't take a settlement that requires absolving them of wrongdoing.
