30 Secrets Your Waiter Will Never Tell You
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I'm usually nice to servers when I eat out, so I would hope they don't spit in my food.
However a friend of mine who used to work as a waiter told me that he once spit in the drink of a customer who was being a complete a$shole.

Posted: 12/1/09 at 8:03pmWhen I still worked for Chili's, I helped serve a large prom party. They were all not sober, and very rude. One of my coworkers spit in the ranch dressing mix for a salad and we all watched as the girl devoured it. It was disgusting, but a total "F YOU!" moment.

As someone who grew up in the restaurant business...
... spit in your food should be the LEAST of your worries.
That's all I'm saying on this topic.

Posted: 12/1/09 at 8:24pmI'm sure in my 31 years on this earth I've eaten my share of spit, snot, roach legs, rat crap and other assorted nasties from either restaurant employee misbehavior or mass-produced corporate foodstuffs. Just like the subway seat I sat in this morning was likely soaked with urine at some point in the not-too-distant past. You just can't think about some things too much.

Posted: 12/1/09 at 8:38pmI worked as a waiter for three years, and while I never spat in anybody's food, I saw it happened and admit that I was tempted. I did other, more harmless things to bad customers though (like letting a $35 rack of lamb sit under the heat lamp for about ten minutes...oops). You reap what you sow...my good customers got free drinks and desserts.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Pretty grisly stuff recounted here. Depressing, really.
I guess the moral of all this is to eat at home.

(remember to cancel dinner at danmag's house)
I regularly saw cooks serve food that was dropped on the floor when I was a waiter.

Posted: 12/2/09 at 9:36amI once saw a documentary on this topic. At a McDonalds, on camera, a worker dropped a burger on the floor. He picked it up, wiped his underarm with it, and served it. Now, I think I prefer spit to BO juice!
