It's a new location so I thought they'd be clean. The offered to give me a free meal which I went to claim on Sunday. I ordered the same chicken Caesar salad.

“February 16, 2020 two of us had bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches with different drinks. Both of us feel nausea, sick, bloating, diarrhea, and lethargic 1 hour 15 minutes later. We had a ton of energy before the sandwich. Sadly, two weeks ago we had desserts (thumb print cookie... See More and chocolate croissant) and experienced identical symptoms. I don’t know what is going on there. ”

Later that day before i went out for dinner i got severe stomach pains and began violently throwing up. I threw up for about... See More 6 hours and i still feel terrible the next day. There is no doubt in my mind it is from this mac and cheese ”

“I was poisoned by a Cheese omelette on Emirates flight from Dubai to Sydney. Caused severe stomach cramps within two hours of eating it followed by relentless vomiting & diarrhoea for the remaining of the flight. A section of the plane was curtained off whilst a doctor on board checked... See More my vitals and blood sugar levels. A doctor on ground approved drugs to be administered to stop the cramps & vomiting however I couldn’t  keep them down long enough. Upon arrival to Sydney the on-ground medics came aboard and gave me the clear to leave the aircraft.  I was eventually taken off the flight in a wheelchair as I was too weak to walk and carry my bags. This was the worst experience I have endured with an illness and thought during the flight that something bad may happen to me; especially with Coronavirus circulating.  I was travelling alone. It was just me that became unwell. My flight was Tuesday Feb 11th and I am still experiencing nausea, diarrhoea & lethargy.  ”

“Amy’s frozen macaroni and cheese I had Amy’s frozen rice macaroni and cheese for supper.  1 to 2 hours later I started having stomach cramps and then extreme diarrhea and nausea.  It was worse than colonoscopy preparation. I broke out in a sweat, lay down and slept or passed out.  ... See MoreWoke with another episode. The diarrhea probably lasted about an hour or two.  Slept all night after the last episode. This morning I feel groggy and very weak. I am 73.  ”

“I made the awful mistake of buying the Banyan Won Ton wrappers located in the refrigerated foods section by produce. I got the worst food poisoning of my life! My husband got sick as well. I am 3 months pregnant and was dangerously sick from this food, vomiting multiple times... See More with fever, chills, and was unable to leave my bed or eat much of anything for days. I went to the doctor after I wasn't getting any better and was informed the bad food had given me a bacterial infection. I contacted them about this incident and you know how they responded? They did not take me remotely serious. Offered me a refund for the bad food I tossed in the trash after it made me sick but did not offer to reimburse me for my medical bills as a result of the awful food poisoning and did NOT even pull the bad product from the store shelves! On the contrary! They RESTOCKED the shelf with MORE!!! Do not buy refrigerated foods from this store! This is not the first incident of me getting bad/spoiled food from this store. Its food quality is going down fast. They should be ashamed for knowingly selling food that makes people sick! ”

“My, husband, me and my son were flying back from vacation in Florida on 3/24/19. We arrived at the Nashville, TN Airport and were hungry. We went to food place but they were out of breakfast sandwiches. My son said, "let's go to here. So we did. My son ordered... See More a chicken, egg and cheese biscuit. When he opened it the egg was missing. We went to the counter and they told us to keep the sandwich and they gave my son a new one with egg on it. I decided I would order a sandwich as well. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. My husband decided to eat my son's sandwich that was incorrect without the egg on it. We hadn't eaten anything since the afternoon the day before. We flew home to Oklahoma and unpacked, I went to the grocery store and ran a few errands. Back at the house around 7pm and I was cooking dinner. I was standing at the counter and had almost completed my husband's and son's dinner plates when my stomach started hurting. It was a really weird feeling and my husband looked at me and said, "honey, are you ok? I said, no, I think I'm going to get sick. I excused myself and came back a few minutes later and thought I had passed. Within 2 minutes I said, I'm going to get sick. Left and was in the bathroom for hours, getting sick and other things continually. It was so brutal. I finally had to text my husband from the bathroom telling him I needed him to take me to the emergency room. We finally got to the ER and they admitted me and gave me several medications trying to help me stop getting sick. They finally discharged me but I got sick again and they re-admitted me. I was re-admitted 3 different times. During my time in the hospital, my son, 16 years old, was at home sleeping. An hour after me being in the hospital my husband's phone rang. We couldn't hear our son but knew by the phone number it was him. He was getting violently ill as well. The only thing in common we ate was this. It was the egg in the sandwich. I spoke with the manager many times and the owner of that location. I have dozens of emails and was assured by manager that my medical bills would be paid. They have not paid anything and continually avoid my calls. My last conversation with owner was right before Thanksgiving when he called me and said he was sorry for what I went through. He said he was sorry for not calling me sooner but their insurance company told him not too. He went against their telling him not to call me and told me we were going to figure this out and he would call me the week after Thanksgiving. He has not called me since. ”

“Went for buffet at 6 pm, Ate a salad and several slices of pizza. Woke up with stomach cramps about 3 AM. Kept getting worse stomachache so I took a couple antacids. No change and was getting unbearable. Took peptobismol. Diarrhea began about 5-6 AM I feel like I need... See More to throw up!!! ”

“We went for lunch on 1/20/20. The item's we all had the same was: beef tacos and their salsa/chips. All 3 of us became very ill. My daughter was first to become ill after 8 hrs. she did not eat anything else before that. 100% sure it was from here... See More in the mall. We use to love going there. ”

“February 1, 2020, at 1:47 PM. I purchased 3 Haagen Daz ice creams, 14 oz size, assorted flavors, at this store. The first one was consumed immediately, the same day. It appeared to be OK. The second one was consumed later that evening. The second one seemed to be OK,... See More but as I got closer to the bottom, it was obvious it had not been refrigerated properly. The bottom had melted and then refrozen, before I bought it. Ck'd my freezer, the thermometer showed a temp of minus 5 degrees F.

Developed nausea a few hours later that night, then extreme fatigue for the better part of a week, Notified the store manager, of the refrozen ice cream and asked him to ck with his vendor to try to prevent future occurrences. He sent me an email a few days later indicating he wanted to discuss it with me. Saw him Feb 7th, Thursday, at the store. I told him I wanted to discuss it as well but was in a hurry, would do it later when it was mutually convenient. He, not to be put off, followed me down the back stairs and started an apparently prepared speech. YOU ARE MAKING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. IT SEEMS WE CAN'T PLEASE YOU. NO ONE HAS EVER COMPLAINED BEFORE. He even quoted the ice cream vendor, who was not present, as saying, he, the vendor had never a complaint about melted ice cream, he repeated his speech several more times with the additional filip that, "YOU WOULD BE HAPPIER GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.”

As background, the store freezer, full of ice cream, had malfunctioned a short time before that. Many pints of ice cream had melted but were refrozen when the freezer came back on. I mentioned to him, at the time, those ice creams should be disposed of. The vendor or he may have been putting a few pints of refrozen, spoiled, ice cream back in the freezer in an attempt to minimize the dollar loss.

Whatever the cause, spoiled ice cream should not be sold. Telling customers to go somewhere else is not an effective way of dealing with concerns about spoiled products. They and the Health Department need to take the necessary steps to prevent future occurrences.
