Abigail Sataur, with her father acting as her litigation guardian, is suing Starbucks Coffee Canada Inc., a Brampton store manager and the barista for negligence over an alleged incident that took place on March 14, 2015. Last year, a provincial court judge in British Columbia dismissed a lawsuit filed by Shayla Williams who sued Starbucks after buying a cup of tea at a drive-through.

Because McDonald’s offered no more than $800, she had no choice but to go to court to obtain compensation.
