Sign this legal waiver before you eat in my restaurent sir!
According to the online newspaper based in Dubai, Five star hotels like the Shangri La hotel and resorts have started implementing this ridiculous rule whenever a client orders their steak rare or medium rare. Apparantly the hotel “was using the legal document to discourage customers from ordering rare or partially rare hamburgers and to protect the hotel from any consequences that may result due to the consumption of such meat”.
Now given the recent E.coli scares in the states, I totally understand the hotel’s view point as such a move wil protect their behinds from being sued by a customer taken ill at one of their restaurants. However, as a consumer and a regular restaurant goer myself, I’m afraid that the message that comes accross from this rule is:
- The quality and origin of the meat is to be questioned
- Hygiene standards at the restaurant are doubtful
Now if the meat’s freshness and the hygiene of the restaurants operated by this hotel chain, which mind you is very famous in throughout the Middle East, then if you value your health, I would suggest you go spend your hard earned moolah (cash) elsewhere.
