| - Just to preface this, I'm typically a huge Outback fan. I've been going to one of their other locations for years, in particular Bell Road but last Friday was a first and last for me at the Mayo location. Yuck!!
Where to begin? So a former colleague and I, who no longer work in the same place, decided to dine here for lunch last Friday. I had never tried this spot, much less for lunch, so I figured it would be a great place to guinea pig for future outings, since we both still work in the area. What a mistake!
What happened? Saturday I came down with a horrific cold. I was practically bed-ridden for the first day and can't even remember the last time I had been so sick. By sheer coincidence, my former colleague ALSO took ill over the weekend, at the same time, with the same symptoms. The only thing we had in common was that we ate lunch at this restaurant the day before and there's no way that we both got sick with the same thing, at the same time, by pure chance, especially since we don't even work together anymore.
My suspicion? Someone working in the kitchen was sick with the same thing and, though they had no business working, they did so anyways and got two of their customers horribly sick. I suffered like a dog and it ruined my entire weekend, all because I trusted this place with my health. What a joke.
And no, the server and the manager were not sickly, and we were the first people to sit at our table after the restaurant opened for lunch, so I'm going to stick to my guns that it was someone who prepared our food. It's just absolutely disgusting that management would let a sicko work the kitchen and infect their customers with a really nasty strain of of the cold or flu or whatever the hell it was they passed on to us both. I am never, ever, setting foot in this location again. No excuse for it, absolutely disgusting. Avoid like the plague, literally!
