Some critics mention that the chain were absolutely right to sue him. Even a hint of food contamination can ruin a whole chain, so this was far from a "joke". In addition, In n Out has prided itself for 70 years on meat that's been freshly ground and potatoes freshly cut moments before you eat them, that's what makes these simple classics uniquely tasty. Their following is built on that.
California classifies this as an "unlimited civil case" which means the damages In-And-Out seeks from Roeder ( the prankster) are at least $25,000. Hopefully, they'll sue him for MUCH more than that, because it appears he was intentionally trying to harm their business by claiming the food was contaminated. He is performing an illegal act because he tries to bilk them out of food for views.
