Food Poisoning due to Bad Cheese

Last week, I was on my way to work when I passed by the American Classic Bakery at Sherman Street. Since I know that the drive may take some time and my car radio is still shot, I decided to buy one of their Cream Cheese Raspberries, which is basically a dry cheesecake with raspberry filling strips. I ate it on the drive to work.

The taste was very average, nothing to write home about. But what is extraordinary with American Classic Bakery's raspberry cheesecake is that they can be fatal. As soon as I stepped in the office, I felt sharp pains in my stomach and it would seem like my rectal muscles were about to burst. I made a beeline for the comfort room and did my business, thinking it was just run of the mill indigestion, which probably resulted from being nervous because I was almost late for work. I have already forgotten about American classic bakery's raspberry cheesecake, which I ate. It was very easy to forget since they were small enough to eat in a couple of bites and it didn't taste exceptionally well.

When I got back to my cubicle, I drank a cup of water to replace the liquids that I lost due to my bowel movement, but in less than 30 minutes, I felt my stomach churning again, and made another trip to the comfort room. I figured that maybe I wasn't finished with my bowel movement a while ago, and this is the last time I had to go for the day.

By the time I went back to my cubicle, I realized I was wrong. I had to go to the comfort room again for another bout of tedious and by now painful bowel movement. I have already recounted everything that I ate in the morning and the only different and suspicious food on the list is the raspberry cheesecake bought from Fernando's Bakery or American Classic Bakery as they like to call themselves.

After going back from the comfort room, I decided to take medicine against diarrhoea, because I was already excreting my digestive juices, and it was very painful. The medicine worked and I stopped feeling any discomfort in my stomach. Unfortunately, the diarrhoea was replaced by vomiting and I started hurling in my cubicle, which prompted my officemates to take me to the nearest hospital.

The doctor's findings was that I ingested spoiled dairy products, and the only dairy product I had for two days was of course, Fernandos Bakery's raspberry CHEESEcake. It seemed odd at first since the product I bought was sealed in plastic, but the doctor said they cheese or milk could have gone bad already even before the product was baked. This is clearly the result of negligence and bad business practice on the part of American Classic Bakery. I advise not buying from them again. I will let poor customer service slide, but putting a customer's life in danger is a very serious matter.

The best clearance store in the UK

Shoppers who are looking for the best bargains on high quality goods being offered on clearance sale should look no further than Goods2Clear. They are currently the UK's biggest clearance store, offering a wide variety of goods and items at bargain prices.

The reason why Goods2Clear is able to offer discounts and bargain prices is because of their stock of items and goods that are marked for clearance.

Clearance items are stock that is marked with lower prices to help expedite the selling. The reasons for stores wanting to get rid of these stocks at the expense of reducing profits is usually because they lack store shelf real estate while newer models are about to come in. This means they need to get rid of the older items (which have less chance of being sold when placed next to newer items) to make way for newer, more sellable stock.

A lot of people seem to have a negative image of clearance goods, thinking that they are buying second-rate products, or items that are not good enough for the market. But in reality, a product being offered on bargain or clearance rates rarely has anything to do with its quality. Sometimes it is the fault of the storeowners overestimating the product's ability to sell or the customer's buying power. Sometimes it also has something to do with how fast the market is moving. This is especially true in the case of electronics, where a manufacturer may release newer models of a product that is still being actively sold on the market. This leaves the storeowners with the heavy responsibility of choosing between selling his existing stock at reduced rates to expedite the process and clear the way for newer models, or to keep his existing stock at the current prices knowing that the competitors are already offering the newer models. For most storeowners, this is an easy decision, as temporarily losing a little bit of profit is much better than being thought of as selling obsolete products at high prices, which loses them customers and profit in the long term.

Goods2Clear on the other hand, offers only clearance sale items so they may not have the newest models or iterations of products available, but their focus is to offer high quality merchandise at very affordable rates. Goods2Clear carries a wide variety of clearance items such as

• Coffee Tables
• Home Office Equipment
• Kitchen Appliances and Furniture
• TV, Stereos and Electronic Equipment
• Children's Furniture
• Furniture
• Accessories

…and many more high quality items. Their brick and mortar shop is available Monday to Sunday at 10:00am to 6:00pm only, but you can order on their online store at http://www.goods2clear.com anytime you want. They accept most major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and Amex, and are able to dispatch large items within 2 working days after funds have cleared. They also allow people to pick up the items on their shop after ordering online, which save a lot of money in shipping and handling.
 

The Best Business Furnitures at Saxen.co.uk

The right office furniture can usually have a large impact on how your office looks. Even the biggest fortune 500 company in the world will lose a lot of credibility if their office uses shoddy office furniture and equipment. Also worth considering is the fact that it has a very real effect on the productivity and performance of a company's employees. After all, how can you concentrate on work when you are sitting on a very uncomfortable chair or uneven office table and cubicle?

Finding the right one for your local business can be difficult. There are a large number of choices available but testing each one is not as easy as choosing between several copies of books. You can't just bring all of the options in your office and try them out in one day. On the other hand, taking one home, returning it, and taking another one for testing would be tedious and time-consuming.

With an online furniture store such as Saxen Business Solutions (http://www.saxen.co.uk), choosing which furniture is best for your business is made infinitely easier, since you can browse through all the available products with the click of a mouse, and each entry has a detailed description coupled with a high quality picture, which is enough to give you a basic idea of what the product has to offer.

As an additional incentive to shop, Saxen also offers free deliveries within the UK mainland, which is an ideal promo if you think about how hard and costly it is to transport large furniture from one place into another.

Saxen Business Solutions accept most major credit cards (Maestro, Solo, Visa, and Mastercard) as well as Paypal. They also accept cheques made payable to Saxen Ltd, but you should remember that cheque payments will add a certain amount of delay to allow the store some time while the cheque clears with the bank.
