Perpetual_Burn User Info... | Yeah. Usually they're willing to give you a coupon for another free tainted Pizza. Funny the way that works. - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 12:28pm | ||
ROSS B AY User Info... | Apparently you're supposed to report it every time. Covers your ass if you get really sick or die or something and you/your family wants to press charges. Yay Panago!! - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 12:54pm | ||
Gare User Info... | ouch you would think a big chain would have pretty strict standards.Although I remember at Dominos every now and then we'd get someone who is a complete asshole and well its best not to lip off the people who will be preparing your food (you'd think thats common sense) - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 1:12pm | ||
ROSS B AY User Info... | I deliver produce for my job, and I've found out one thing about other people in that time....they don't need a reason to hock or put shit in your food. I've delivered to restaurants in this town where the chef will be smoking a butt while stirring a vat of soup or whatever. I've never delivered to a place that follows the health code. Ever. And I deliver to hundreds of restaurants up and down the island. It's completely put me off going out to eat forever. You wouldn't believe some of the shit you see back there man.... - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 1:17pm | ||
Chris User Info... | I've seen the insides of a lot dirty restaurants that no one has got sick at. And I've seen some nice, clean restaurants that people get really sick from. I don't think it matters where or what you eat. It's just luck of the draw, or lack there of. - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 8:53pm | ||
Brandon User Info... | wow, you have a shitty job - Fri, 27 Feb 2004 8:56pm | ||

FeLiXtheCaT User Info... | well i worked at Glen Lake Inn for a day in the kitchen and that place was gross. i think they pay off the health inspector, because otherwise i have no idea how they pass their health inspections. the head cook also looks like he hasn't taken a shower in years and that they found him in some alley shooting herion. - Mon, 1 Mar 2004 12:36pm | ||
Matt User Info... | serves you right for going to panago in the first place...i mean, the only place worse is domino's - Mon, 1 Mar 2004 2:16pm | ||
D�d[]Sanger User Info... | I used to work at the captain's table, and the only thing bad I can say about the place is the staff. Nothing unsanitary I've ever witnessed, however the dishwashers constantly have to rewash everything because they don't do it right the first time. The only close to unsanitary thing I have seen there was the fish stored a little close to the floor once, and the bugs that came out of Ross Bay's lettiuce I used to have to wash! - Mon, 1 Mar 2004 3:55pm | ||
Ebolavire User Info... | I worked at Romeo's Place in Canwest for 3 1/2 years and saw SO many steaks hit the floor before being served. There was always a bunch of mould under the dishwashing sinks. Whenever I made an attempt to clean it up, I got yelled at. There was a huge amount of cross contamination with the pizza toppings. If you have mushroom allegergies avoid that place like the plague because they get into everything. Never eat there on a busy night because health standards take a back seat. . . even from there. - Mon, 1 Mar 2004 4:31pm | ||
Masturbating The War God User Info... | I got food poisoning from Boston Pizza in Langford. What a fucking horrible experience that was. After puking(allnight long) up everything I had eaten, it was dry heaving every 30 minutes on the dot for like 9 hours! Shame on you BP! - Mon, 1 Mar 2004 8:45pm | ||
Skinny User Info... | I've never had good experiences with BP. It always gives me the shits. - Fri, 5 Mar 2004 3:42pm | ||
D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Speaking of skinny, after not eating for 2.6 weeks out of the last 2 months due to food poisining, I have lost about 10 goddamn pounds!!! Hello protein powder and hello motherfucking lawsuit! - Sat, 6 Mar 2004 3:38pm | ||
lauren a User Info... | maybe all of you are getting sick because you're eating greasy food! ever think of that? serves you right for eating stuff that's bad for you. no wonder you're "getting the shits" - Sat, 6 Mar 2004 10:45pm | ||
D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Weak. - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 11:57am | ||
Son of Mogh User Info... | Let's face it, eating anything other than a vegan diet is bound to give you health problems. The two best (and safest) places to eat in town are the Lotus Pond and the Green Cuisine. - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 1:30pm | ||
FeLiXtheCaT User Info... | ya but who wants to pay 8 bucks everytime they eat a meal? i sure don't. who cares if something isn't healthy? if someone wants to eat something then hell do it. blah. Son of Mogh sounds like a trendy dork. someone should kick him. - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 1:44pm | ||
D�d[]Sanger User Info... | I think he was joking all kvlt style, because veganism is the tool of jesus. ... At least I hope he was joking... - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 5:10pm | ||
FeLiXtheCaT User Info... | yuo know cus kvlt is the cool thing to do. lol. how can veganism be a tool of jesus when he ate fish? i thought vegan's didn't eat animals or the by-product made from animals. blah, who cares? jesus sucks anyways; all crazy men suck..... cock. - Sun, 7 Mar 2004 9:19pm | ||
Ike User Info... | I gotta buck the trend here and disagree with the Panago slags. Every couple of weeks I'll order up a chicken club and a deluxe pepperoni - thincrust. I have never had a problem and I think the pizza is pretty damn good and reasonably priced. The Brickyard makes my favorite pie, but its freaking expensive if you want a few slices. - Mon, 8 Mar 2004 2:31pm | ||
Mr. Hell User Info... | Tropical chicken with Italian Garlic dip from Panago...never had a problem. The only two things that compete with that for me are Pizza Tonite's three-for-one BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger pizzas and a nice Stuffed Crust for Pizza Hut. No tomato sauce though. Allergic. Imagine that! A WOP allergic to tomatoes. - Mon, 8 Mar 2004 3:03pm | ||
utopian society User Info... | I've heard some stories from people who work at Panago that would make me rather not eat there. The Brickyard gets my vote for best pizza around - it's expensive, but man it's worth it. - Mon, 8 Mar 2004 5:31pm | ||
V User Info... | I just cant believe that the Bingo Palace has bad food. perposterous. Actually, i used to work at the sidney panago. Other than being stingy, big time capitalist bastards, they run a pretty clean kitchen. You probably just got a little turd on your pizza. happens all the time - Mon, 8 Mar 2004 6:37pm | ||
Ebolavire User Info... | Hell yeah Brickyard has the best! Where else can you sit under a blue ceiling for pizza, beer and live music? Do they still even do that? Does anyone else remember Brickyard when it was Seagulls? - Wed, 10 Mar 2004 5:59pm | ||
Mest User Info... | Yea brickyard - Fri, 12 Mar 2004 3:43pm | ||
big_leath User Info... | I used to work at the Blue peter, and during the time i was there, there was a huge rat that would periodically scamper out from one of its various hiding places. i think sal eventally managed to kill it with the broom. the management were also the biggest assholes in the entire world. never eat there. - Fri, 12 Mar 2004 8:44pm | ||
