I stopped on my way home on Friday, June 28th. I ordered sweet pork enchiladas and ate them in the restaurant. They tasted off; I almost took them back up to the cook to ask if I was given the right meat. By Saturday morning, I had excruciating stomach pain, was nauseous and vomiting. By Saturday afternoon, I had diarrhea lasting for several days; now having blood in diarrhea, but feeling like I am finally getting the upper hand on it. I have been sick for 4 days so far and still not quite right., I was sick within 9 - 10 hours after eating the sweet pork enchiladas ala carte with lettuce and pico on top. I was the only customer in my party this day. Still sick. | Symptoms: Vomiting, Nausea, Fever, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain

I bought rotisserie chicken at this particular location. I had it for dinner on March 9th midnight, and ever since the meal, I had extreme case of diarrhea and bloating stomach while constantly burping terrible smell. The chicken was pink with trace of blood inside. On March... See More 10th, I’ve gone to the washroom for more than 15 times, on March 11th, I’ve gone for more than 15 times as well. Today I am still feeling quite bad. My body would feel cold and shivering, and since the morning I’ve gone to the washroom like 6 times already. My girlfriend also felt unwell like me. I went to the store asking for explanation on March 11th, while feeling extremely uncomfortable still. The store manager (I don’t know his exact title), besides telling us fill out a report form, was being very skeptical of our situation. He might believe the sickness was caused by other things we had even though we’ve specially told him this is the last thing we had. Furthermore, he kept bringing up that I’m not the member, in which my girlfriend is the member. I’ve only spoken to him because my girl isn’t too proficient in English. He kept saying I’m not the member therefore they can only speak to the member This is unbelievably arrogant and clueless. If anyone who had Costco’s product and got seriously injured, Costco is definitely responsible regardless the user is a member or not, especially when it comes to food safety. Although he promised his manger would call us today, once we missed one call from him in the morning (he also only called 1 number but we out down 2 numbers), we called back multiples times and no one picked up. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating, Burping See Less
