No, that's not true - it depends on where you buy it from and what their policy on coffee temperature is.
And I don't know if you bought coffee from McDonalds, but at some point they used to serve coffee in containers made out of a thick layer of cellulose (from what I could see) which wasn't leaking any heat; giving you absolutely no clue whatsoever to how hot or cold the coffee was just by holding it. Think about that for a second - when you're holding a glass with hot tea or coffee, you can feel it in your hand. But what if that glass was cold as if holding iced tea?
Yes, I got burned too, but not as badly as to suffer 3rd degree burns and I still buy coffee from McD. But I imagine I would get pretty pissed too above a certain threshold.
