Pappas Restaurants needs to pay for immune globulin shots
KTRH-740 reports that Harris County is footing the bill to provide immune globulin shots for customers who may have been exposed to Hepatitis A at the Pappasitos restaurant on North I-45:
Right now, Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services says the cost of giving out immune globulin shots is at least $88,500.
The county says Pappas Restaurants has made no offer to help pay the costs.
A Pappas employee at the Interstate 45 and Airtex location who tested positive for Hep A may have exposed as many as 4,000 people.
Pappa's has not returned calls for comment.
A visit to the Pappas website reveals the company's philosophy:
The Pappas philosophy hasn’t changed much over the years.
Throughout Texas and as we expand to other markets, our restaurants are known for outstanding food, service and atmosphere where people go to be treated like guests, to be entertained, and to enjoy great food with the Pappas trademark of quality.
And when an employee exposes patrons to a disease, let taxpayers clean up the mess. Or something like that.
Pappas officials ought to be ashamed of themselves.
