I used to work there and there was definitely mold in the tea you drank, it happened often when the workers up front didn’t clean the nozzles. Once all the workers in the back got sick and were throwing up in the restrooms.
EWWWW. Everyone reading this don't get rotisserie chickens that the deli sells. I worked in the deli and those chickens would be left on the spit while (not refrigerated) while the bacteria kept multiplying. DON'T GO TO SELF SERVE FROZEN YOGURT PLACES EITHER NO BODY CLEANS THOSE NASTY THINGS!!!
I meant to say the chickens would be out at room temp while the employees talked laughed and had FUN! Those chickens would be sitting there way too long before they were ever cooked!
3 of us all got the tortilla chicken soup for dinner from El Pollo Loco off of Temecula Parkway. All of us had diarrhea, stomach pains and headaches several hours later. It was horrible.
This was the only food that we all ate that night. 11/14/23 | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Headache, Stomach Pain See Less
