It does seem that there is army of plaintiff lawyers waiting in the wings every time some small error occurs. Brad,

We happened to eat there when the incident occurred, and wound up being awarded a few hundred dollars in a class action suit. To tell the truth, I felt a little dirty accepting the money. The restaurant responded very well, giving full disclosure, making sure all exposed patrons received medical treatment. For their transparency they were punished. We thought, if I owned a restaurant and found out one of my employees had hepatitis, maybe I'd keep my mouth shut. My suspicion is 90% of these things are spearheaded by lawyers out to make a quick buck. There was a hepatitis scare at a restaurant here last year, a restaurant part of a large chain.
