Can You Sue a Restaurant if You Think an Employee Did Something to Your Food

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: New Jersey
2 weeks ago I was at a restaurant and after I paid for my food I went to the condiment stand and saw an employee coming out of the hallway. I turned my back briefly and he was right behind me standing next to my food when I turned back around. The employee then turned and walked away from me. It did not bother me at first but the more I thought about it the more I suspected foul play. I filed a complaint with their corporate headquarters and I asked to review their footage from a camera I noticed overlooking the area where we were standing. They sent me some shoddy apology letter and said they spoke to the employee. They did not fulfill my request. Should I file a police report? I am not from the area but I think the police maybe able to make them to review the footage.

File a police report for what? All you have is your imagination as evidence.

do you often have bouts of paranoia such that you believe strangers are out to harm you in some way?

No, the police cannot make them review the footage. Only a court can do that.

That's the thing when I saw the employees. It seemed as though they recognized me. This has never happened before. So how would I be able to get a court to fulfill my request?

You would have to file suit and believe the video would lead to some evidence. If you do that, you will have to pay damages for the frivolous lawsuit.

If that's all ya got, you are not going to get a court to issue such an order. You make no claim of them doing anything other than standing near your food.

did you become ill after eating that food? is there some reason to suspect they did anything to your food?

Did you ever think that this employee was responsible for monitoring the stock level of items in the condiment area and had simply come out to check on the items. So he walks out and stands near you for a few seconds to review the status of each item then leaves to go get whatever stock was needed?

I think the employee might have been attracted to the OP and was simply taking in his aura while in close proximity to the OP. OP comes across to me as the type that might have been seen as receptive to advances by young men.

Aside from the fact that my mother ate some of that food. I have worked in restaurants before and it takes more than a 2 seconds to check stocked items. And he did not make a sound when he approached me as two other employees looked on at us in silence. But I am already involved in a lawsuit as it is. And many of these behaviors have been occurring lately.

You cannot call the police unless you've sustained some kind of damage (illness etc.) that you can show is directly linked to/caused by that employee.

Just curious, what is this lawsuit you're involved in?

Not just strangers, also former coworkers.

thanks to Obamacare op can obtain insurance and seek treatment for his issues. I think time is of the essence might be applicable here.

My previous post was about the lawsuit I am involved in. Where employees from my old job come into my current one and slander me to get fired. I suspect they were trying to financially starve me nullify all likelihood that I can sue them.

OK thanks. And this current matter is now closed.

For the record what is an OP? You've been insinuating that I might have some condition.

OP stands for original poster which in this thread, would be you

OP stands for Original Poster. It does not insinuate anything at all other than that you are the originator of the thread.
