Little Caesars Complaint - Myself and my 8 1/2 month pregnant fiance got food poisoning

Complaint
Review by ziggy12381 on 2009-08-28
WEST ST PAUL, MINNESOTA -- On August 27th 2009, I went to Little Caesars Pizza on Robert St in West St Paul, Mn. We ordered Pepperoni pizza, cheesebread, and hot chicken wings. we were given crazy bread for free because we had to wait for 10 minutes after we ordered. after eating the food. both myself and my 8 1/2 month pregnant fiance got food poisoning. We both threw up and had diahrea. (i appologize for being discriptive but I want everyone to know what we went through so they don't have to.) today I went back to Little Caesars to complain about the quality of the product. the manager that I spoke to refused to give me my money back when I asked to. he said it wasn't their policy. he said the only thing he would do was take my number and name. the man then told me if I didn't leave he would call the police on me. I left my name and number and left. I urge anyone that reads this never to go to little caesars again. in st paul or any city.

You need a doctor's note. Otherwise, anyone feeling sick can go to any restaurant and demand refunds.

when was 2009/28/08 declared food poisoning day?

unless the local hospital or health department has documented other cases, you are not going to get anything.

did you seek emergency medical treatment?

It is funny how any time someone gets sick to their stomach, the first thing they think of is the last thing they ate. Have you ever heard the term incubation period? That is how long it takes bad bacteria or virus to grow to the point where it affects you. With food, don't look at the last thing you ate, but what you ate two or three days ago. Unless you have a diagnosis of food poisoning from a doctor or hopspital, they will tell you not to self-diagnose.

how long after you ate did you get sick

and go for it, be descriptive.
i eat peanut butter and jalepeƱo jelly sandwiches.
i doubt you'll gross me out.

(i also like peanut butter and tunafish on toast, with mayo and sweet pickle relish)

so now that you're done barfing again...


the only thing i can say about little ceasers...

this is the one time i can claim employment experience. it was 20 years ago though, back when it was "pizza pizza" (2 pizzas for the price of one)

Personally LC use to make me gassy. But I never got sick from it.

Then again, I was strict. If it fell on the floor it met Mr. Garbage can - not like we didn't have more.

"Pizza pizza!"

just remembered, somewhere - maybe in my storage unit - I think I still have my Little Ceaser Puppet or a doll, I don't remember fully.

Yes they had a puppet special once. It was adorable.

Man I hope I still have it. That might be worth something these days.

I've eaten at this particular Little Caesar's location numerous times and have always found their service to be exemplary. They've always been very polite and helpful and the food has never given me any problems.

As others have noted, it's not the most recent thing you ate that gives you food poisoning. It takes 24-48 hours.

I don't blame the manager at all for refusing a refund. Otherwise they'd have to give a refund any time anyone complained they got sick. This location already has a VERY generous refund policy (anytime they've made even a small mistake with my order I've gotten something free, sometimes even a free pizza) so I don't think your complaint is fair.
