So heres the story. Yesterday me and the wife decided to grab lunch from Tim Hortons (undisclosed location). I'm an avid coffee drinker, so this was already my second trip through the drive through.
We order sandwiches, a double double and a medium french vanilla.
Sorry about the details, but you'll understand.

So we proceed to the window, I pay, receive the first coffee and put it in my cupholder. The employee then go's to hand me the french vanilla, and during the transaction IMO let go of the cup too early dropping it onto the door/window sill of my truck, bouncing into my lap.

Absolute worst case scenario.

Instantly I'm in lots of pain, only to the look of shock to my wife and the employee. In an upset manner, I urge the employee to get me some napkins NOW. I am in EXTREME worry, discomfort and pain.
I now feel like I went into shock. I started breathing heavily and lost my sense of what was going on.
The employee then brought me ice in a bag for my pain. Meh, Thanks for the thought.
He also said that my food was almost ready, at this point I wasn't concerned about. More so, lifting my burning pants off my skin and reducing the pain.
Throughout the coffee spilling shit show, I hadn't noticed the coffee had also fried my blackberry which was between the legs, and also my wallet is ruined aswell.

Great.

Okay, so now I've been at the window for nearly eight minutes trying to calm the pain and he brings the food, apologies and then we leave. I almost back up into the guy behind me because I'm in such shock, but QUICKLY drive home to check the damage.

I was expecting my nuts to be black, but luckily things weren't so bad. I had some discoloration on my right thigh, a slight tingling, but definitely alot better then I was thinking.
The boys were okay.
So now I head to a walk-in clinic to try and get some sort of documentation of the incident. Everywhere I tried in my area was closed so I gave up, went home and called the Tim Horton's that this had occurred at. I indirectly spoke with the fellow who had dropped the coffee! So instead i just made it brief and left a message insisting to speak with the manager.

Today I woke up, and all the discoloration has almost faded into my pasty white legs lol. I went to work this morning and continued on with my life. I didn't receive a call back, but again tried calling and got the machine this time leaving a message.

Not only am I upset about getting a hot drink spilt on me but my truck is a disaster inside, I'm out a $400 phone and went through hell and back.

It was some scary ish!
Now, I'm just seeking some opinions on my cource of action.

Thanks for taking your time to read.
Be careful, Grab those coffees with both hands people!

Put on your big girl panties and suck it up princess. Accidents happen.

Ditto. Sounds like someone is trying to cash out. You seriously cant tell me that you trust the pimply faced teen at the timmies drive through enough to one hand grab a coffee.

Im not trying to cash out on anything. Like I said I had to pay $400 today to replace my phone. That is cash coming out of my pocket for somebody else's accident.
If anything I'm looking to be compensated.

Cool bro, story.

[Ntense_SpecV]

Why didn't you pull into a parking spot, go inside and speak to the manager first thing rather then going home?

[urban.one]

Youd be a millionaire if this happened in the U.S.ofA.

Rub some balm on it Or call up Jackie Chiles

Yeah, I would have gone in to see the manager right after it happened.

I would assume you put your hand right out the window to grab the second coffee... if not, then you have to expect that it might tip inside the vehicle if you don't have a firm grasp on it prior to bringing it into the cabin. That's why it's always wise to grab your drinks/etc from the employee when the item is outside of the vehicle, so that in the worst case scenario it ends up on the ground and not on your lap.

I worked at a DQ when I was a teenager and I never would hand product out the drive-thru window to someone who still had their hands inside the vehicle, that's a recipe for disaster. Imagine a cold ass banana split on your crotch... not only is it cold, but lots of potential for stains too.

It sucks for you... but I don't think the restaurant owes you anything more than an apology and perhaps they could offer you a free coffee as a gesture of goodwill, but I wouldn't expect anything more than that.

Man up, this was your own fault. It is not like the Tim Horton's guy threw the coffee at you.

Who told you to use the balm

Well, now when Jackie asks him "Who told you to put the balm on?" He will need to say it was you that told him to put the balm on.

Yeah, I don't fucking think so. This would never fly with me.

OP, get in contact with the OWNER, at least get the blackberry replaced, get them to have your truck detailed, that coffee sitting in the cracks of your trim turns into fucking glue later on. I would consider negotiating with them.

Don't "suck it up".

[kevie88]

Wow, I would hate to see how you would react if something that actually WAS bad ever happened to you.

[signature7]

Op if you see the guy in the picture without his pants on...Don't take his advice...Unless you are really a BIG avid coffee lover, or you don't want creases in your pants. Proceed with caution.

[CMW403]

if you weren't such a baby and walked in immediately after with a steaming crotch full of hot coffee and demanded to speak with the owner, things would have went your way.

im POSITIVE if you walked in and demanded a new blackberry, he would have given it to you. if that didn't work, pulling down your pants and showing him your tomato red schlong in the middle of his timmies would DEFINETLY get the ball rolling.

but theres no point in even making this thread now because it already happened and you went home crying to us instead of Joe Blow manager.
