Problem is that there was no negligence on Applebee's part, GGJohn Mar 2015 #38

That's where you and I disagree Wella Mar 2015 #41

Actually, if the server didn't issue an appropriate warning, then I have to agree with Wella. nt tblue37 Mar 2015 #90

In my long response above I mention that I did not know that, never having had fajitas. tblue37 Mar 2015 #92
