i mean

Sue Hermes for negligently tacking on two 0s.
---

If someone damages your property, and refuse to reimburse or replace, sure, you probably should sue them for damages. That's the entire point of being able to sue in the first place.
---

especially when the thing that's ruined costs thirty thousand dollars

The country club claims the waiter is responsible. Sure, he may have done it. But he was their employee and performing duties for them. The country club should pay up, then follow up with a lawsuit against the waiter if they feel that they can prove he was somehow negligent and it wasn't just a simple accident.

If your overpriced crap gets damaged, you should only be able to sue for the worth of the materials and not the maker's mark.

This, and given that the country club employed the server, they should be liable for damage resulting from his accident

Damn that's gotta suck. Such a simple mistake cost that much.

when your house gets damaged you should only be able to sue or get insurance to cover the cost of the wood

That is the chance you take while drinking and carrying around a 30k purse.

Also the fact that a 30k purse is made and sold is fucking truly idiotic on the part of humans.

sometimes value is subjective if it was a a designer bag sold by a business for $30,000, then thats the value of the bag

---

And what if they want to flaunt their wealth? It doesn't matter if you agree with the pricing. The price is the price.

There really shouldn't be wealth to flaunt. It's excessive material crap that does nothing for humankind.

I honestly didnt know $30k bags existed.

@blu Why didnt you tell me?

so?

The club should generally be liable for damages caused by their negligence, but I can't help but feel this goes beyond reasonable limits on that. The only reason $30,000 in damages was possible here is because she chose to bring her overpriced trinket along, and expecting the country club to bear the full consequences of that decision seems unreasonable. But then anyone who would spend $30,000 on a purse probably isn't very good at reasonable decision making, so...

I was actually looking into their Apple Watch bands a while back.

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch-hermes

I wanted this one: https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/band-apple-watch-hermes-single-tour-44mm-deployment-buckle-H074198CJ34/

I ended up not finding it cheap enough, but I did manage to grab this one below for $100 by buying a used ebay watch with a few bands, taking this one, and then reselling the rest. Checked it out with apple and it's legit. I did this back when this band cost $1100 before apple lowered the price to $450.

Did he purposely spill it? Unknown, unlikely.
Did she stupidly buy and carry a 30k purse? Yes.

Irrelevant. He spilled it and damaged other people's property.

So?

Accidents happen. If she can't afford to replace her purse, she shouldn't have bought it to begin with.

Pay to attempt to clean it? Yes.
Pay to replace it? No.

LMFAO, what kind of stupid logic is this? Accidents happen, so the ones who caused the accident have to pay for their mistake. She can obviously afford to replace the purse but it's not always replaceable. A $30000 Hermes is probably a birkin or kelly. You don't just walk into a store and buy them They have to be ordered and may even require you to purchase a certain amount before you can place an order. They are also limited so once it's out you can't just get a new one.

So if someone fucks up my hypothetical car worth 100k, they shouldn't pay for it and it's my fault for buying an expensive car? Sure.

You can write "the club will not be liable if the manager goes on a shooting rampage" if they wanted to, it doesnt make it legally binding. They fucked up her shit and they should pay for it.
