OK, anyone can tell you that Pizza Hut’s customer service leaves very little to be desired. But there is something that just isn’t right about this report. You see, if you had food poisoning to be sick for several days, which would mean you were infected with E. Coli. The problem with this is the simple fact that only two people became sick. Also, it usually takes a good 12 to 24 for E. Coli. To develop in someone’s bloodstream to make them this sick to need emergency treatment.
Now, here’s where you report gets even more bizarre; You stated you were so sick that you developed a case of Jaundice. Ok, first, that’s impossible, only infants can be born with Jaundice. So NO doctor would have told you such. However, you may have developed Jaundice discoloring of the skin. But, again, I don’t think so. I believe you may have become pale from being sick, maybe even flush, but you did not have a Jaundice discoloring. Why do I not believe you? For the simple fact that the only way you could have developed this was more than a week later when you would not still be here to write this report. You see, the Jaundice discoloring would have been from Chronic Kidney Failure and this would only have appeared at the point of irreversible damage, and you would have soon there after, died. So, that obviously didn’t happen.
Secondly, any hospital’s ER would have known if this were a result of food poisoning. How? Because if you really went to the ER after being so sick, they would have placed you on an IV and then done blood work to find the leading cause of your illness, in so instances, they may have even done a sonogram on your abdomen to check for bleeding, kidney failure, liver failure, etc. Finally, the hospital would have written this up as food poisoning if it were that. Apparently not, since you don’t seem to have proof of such.
I am sorry you were sick, but it wasn’t the restaurants’ fault. This may have come from something you ate the night before or maybe you were exposed to a smell that made you sick, who knows. Yes, restaurants do not care about the customers; they care only about the money. I’ve known someone that had to have his stomach pumped because Little Caesar’s delivered him a pizza with staples baked in. They were sued. I have a son that was injured as a result of restaurants’ negligence. So, for the two rebuttalists, this does happen, and more than you know. But in this case, that wasn’t what occurred.
Oh, one more thing, why would you believe you had food poisoning when you seem to be the only two eating there that developed this illness? Again, sorry you were sick and Pizza Hut has been rude, to say the least. But, this was not food poisoning. If it were, believe me, I’d be the first to tell you.
