I think it's a natural outcome from our letigious society. Everyones lawsuit happy. Look at how we handle kids who make gun gesutres with their hands while playing cops and robbers. It's like people are just waiting for their chance at a "pay day."
Personally, I commend the OP for just taking the free meal and the repairs to his car. I don't think anything more than that was justified, other than the termination of the employee for a lack of integrity.
I'm a little saddened by the people in this thread to immediately said they would have demanded more. It was a mistake. Could the kid who hit his car have been a man and owned up to it, sure. But the manager took care of the issue and repaired the damage. What justification does he really have to ask for more?
