A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

None of these waivers hold up in court here in Canada, like, at all.

The hot sauce ones are generally just trying to make things feel "more extreme", trying to add theatrics to the experience.

It wouldn't even hold up in this case: the waiver holds Hilton not liable when the guest eats food not prepared by the restaurant, when the guest is clearly eating food prepared by the restaurant.

I was wondering about that! I thought I didn’t understand legalese.

Did they let him cook it himself?

The meat wasn't ground by the restaurant, I would think that's what they're talking about.

It probably does make some people restrain themselves from hurting themselves. It has a use.
