As unfortunate as it is for this convenience/perk/whatever-you-want-to-call-it (the toppings bar) to go away, I can see why this decision would be made. I have to imagine that the amount of waste associated with the toppings bars is rather high. (Both in guests taking more than they end up using, as well as from "leftovers" needing to be tossed.) And while I know I'm careful to be sanitary, I can't say that I really trust other people to do so.

For now. Then they will begin charging $1 or more for a cup like they do at the resorts.
It was always my understanding that having the condiment bar was actually a cost savings measure in spite of the obvious waste.
As it sits now, the CMs in quick service just have to produce a plain burger. No special orders, no returns and production is as fast as it can be. The guest gets their food quick and takes his/her plain burger and fixes it to their liking.
Remove the condiment bar and CMs now hat to pay attention to what is going on. This cheeseburger has no tomatoes on it, this one has no ketchup and extra onions, all of which will slow things down. To make matters worse you have all of the re-dos. "We ordered no pickles and my precious little snowflake won't eat it if even if I take them off".
IMHO it seems like a step backwards based on out of context information.

Agree 100%. And as far as waste, whatever is being wasted from the condiments bar is NOTHING like what is wasted at the buffets.

I thought it was me, when my son was younger, any hot food, especially cheese (on nachos, grilled cheese, etc) I always tested first. Hot drinks I tested to, hot chocolate, etc. Its a shame this child was harmed, but I do think this is the parent's fault, not that I like to point fingers in all honesty.

how many times have people sued large corporations over *customer error*?? and unfortunately won. I don't know how many times McDonald's was sued because customers spilled coffee on themselves. Common sense comes to play I would think LOL

There was actually a case in a near by town, (don't know the man personally, but friends of mine do) who indeed, did try to sue
And if the facts matched what happened in the original case, they would be well justified to do so.

McDonald's may or may not have been at fault in that case. However, the author of that article lost me with the line, in the first paragraph, "No one is in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results". Sorry, but there are many plaintiffs and many trial lawyers who are most definitely in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results. To suggest otherwise is to discredit yourself from the outset.

As was stated in the video, the chances of winning this suite or coming to a favorable settlement are greatly enhance by the unfortunate circumstance of the victim being a 4 year old child and not an adult.
I'm not in the food service industry. What is the appropriate temperature at which hot cheese should be maintained? Has it been reported if the boy was served the hot cheese on Nachos from behind the counter or if he somehow got it off the fixins' bar?
The authors opinion is irrelevant to the facts of the case. It might not make for the most convincing persuasive argument, but the McDonald's case is often used as an example for frivolous lawsuit when it is in fact a glaring example about how the media twists details to serve their own purpose.
Big company is found to be negligent and gets fined does not generate web clicks and paper sales. Woman burns herself with hot coffee and wins millions does.
This article on the same subject is more opinion free and might be more to your liking.

How did the kid get it on his face like that unless he turned up the cup of hot cheese and drank it ? This is all the parents fault. Again we can thank someone suing for there own negligence for taking something away from everyone.
