My family used to own a restaurant. We used to get occasional calls from people claiming to be sick. People would be dumb enough to call us screaming, with an indignant attitude, blaming something they ate at our establishment an hour ago.

Foodborne illness usually takes longer to set in, and in most cases, is something they prepared for themselves at home. Not all restaurants are perfect of course, but most take precautions, not risks, when it comes to their livelihoods.
