CANADIAN HOTEL MAKES DINER SIGN RELEASE FOR MEDIUM-RARE BURGER

An American visitor to a Hilton hotel in Toronto said the hotel’s restaurant asked him to sign a waiver when he ordered a hamburger medium rare. He said the waitress brought it and then brought out a release form, saying they always make their burgers well done, and since he wanted it medium he had to sign it. The release would clear the hotel restaurant against any claims for damages related to any food-borne illnesses arising from the medium-cooked burger.The customer said he paid and left, but could not eat the burger after signing the form.
* Allowing them to toss the patty back on the stove and give it to the next customer.
* And yet there still aren’t any release forms at Chipotle.
* Nice to see our Nanny State policies spreading to Canada.
* “I’d like the house salad, please.” “Well, that would be raw vegetables and we don’t do raw. What we do is boil the salad and serve it as vegetable soup.”
* I can see signing a release for putting ketchup on poutine, but this?
