Food poisoning story

Two years ago I was at work and someone knocked on my office door.It was a very angry man who said that he and his wife ate in my restaurant a week before and started throwing up blood before they got home.Both went to the hospital and had not worked since.He told me that he'd been advised to see a lawyer but decided to see me first because I would want to make things right for hospital expenses and lost work.I told him I was floored by that....first time in 30 years that this had happened.I also told him that we are well insured and that if we,in fact ,had had made them sick that I would leave no stone unturned to make things right.
I checked his slip and they both had a beef pot pie special,37 were sold that night and 5 employees had them as their meal on break.No one got ill and the night manager reported that they were all made fresh that day and temped going out at 150 degrees.
I contacted my insurance agent at the Foss agency in Moultonborough and he checked with LRGH and found that they had not been there,as he said.He then ran a check on them and found out that they didn't miss work.....because they were both unemployed.
Don't need to tell you what I told him when he came back to see me.
I was just thinking what would have happened if he had gone on the forum with his story before I had a chance to check it out.
