A California man is suing McDonald's for 1.5 million dollars, claiming that he only got one napkin with his meal.

Webster Lucas said that he was stiffed on napkins at the Mickey D's in Pacoima, CA on January 29th after ordering a Quarter Pounder Deluxe.

And when he went up to the counter to ask for more, he was rudely rebuffed by the manager who insisted he already got some, TMZ.com reported.

According to his lawsuit, Lucas, who is black, then retorted. That's when Lucas said that things got racist, claiming the manager (a Mexican-American) mumbled something about "you people."

Lucas subsequently emailed the general manager to complain, insisting he couldn't work because of the "undue mental anguish" he was suffering as a result of the napkin debacle, and said that he was insultingly offered free burgers in return.
