Suing a grocery store

Thats fine Furke!

Anyways, Coming to the topic.If you really want to sue them, go do it! But, consider;

-Lawyer's Fees
-Summon/ Time off from work and Studies.
-Stress/ Homework/ Putting up information together, at least for the lawyer.
-Not being able to go to that store ever after ( if you consider ethics).
-Lastly, the the biggest thing would be, you have not consumed it yet. The case can only be stronger if you had consumed the product and was in the verge of dying.

For Business owner;
- At the max $1000 for the compensation; which of course would ultimately be consumer's lawyer's fees.
-Maybe a citation worth a few hundreds, which goes to the government.

So, what's you gonna earn or learn unless you are a Law student? 
Not all cases would result in lump sum of money as your thinking right now. Getting a burn from a hot cup of coffee because the cup did not mention "content is hot" sign is a very old story.
