Topic	Bank teller refuses to give black girl her own money
UnfairRepresent 03/20/21 6:40:22 PM #97:	Zeus posted... First problem, she has no damages. The amount of money that she might receive would be less than what it would cost to hire a lawyer. Second, it wasn't on the bank (which ultimately gave her the money), it was on the teller. So the lawsuit is even harder on those grounds. Third, and most importantly, they'd have to prove discrimination, which would be a fucking hard thing to do. Basically it'd be a huge amount of work for (in a best case scenario) almost no money. This is very true Even if the bank was worried about bad PR, they'd be even more worried about settling because it would encourage anybody who's had an issue to try to sue them. This isn't however. America already has a sue happy culture and most big businsesses don't fear "encouraging" lawsuits, they fear long drawn out lawsuits and are happy to settle I've seen businsesses settle over the most asinine things because they know the guy suing isn't going away and continuing the case will cost fortune I can't go into details for obvious reasons but I was personally involved in a case where a dude was mad that his pension was smaller than he thought it was, so he sued, he had absolutely no argument or point. He was just mad But because it was important to him they knew he would take it all the way to court and it would cost 6 figures just to go through all that. So they literally paid him to go away Which pissed me off since he basically just got given a huge wad of cash for being a male Karen --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:951929016] in Bank telle...
