When I was a kid a friend I grew up with worked at BK and he would pick a roach up with tongs and stick him in the fryer.....  Talk about protein enhanced french fries. Probably would be acceptable nowadays with all the health freaks........ Oooopppsss we have some here......

            

No offense!

It happens but fortunately it's rare, at least in better Restaurants...JJ

 

[southernsausage]

 One of the things I learned from my Mentors and taught my students...When trying a new Restaurant. Look around then go to the Bathroom...If that which the Public sees is Filthy...That which you don't see is many times Worse...JJ

The exact opposite happened at one of the last places I dined at, the bathroom was TOO clean, actually the entire place appeared very clean.
It's a small pizza parlor where you can see the entire kitchen.
Anyway, friends had invited us out too eat there, this was a couple years ago.
Several problems with the service, not the least of which was the sever grasping the rim of drinking glasses with her hands like an eagles talons. :icon_eek:
Next up, and this is where it starts to get real ugly, when our pizza was ready the sever brought our pizza out, sat it in front of several college kids for several minutes, realized her mistake, she grabs the pizza and brings it over and sets it in front of us. I sat there with my jaw dropped open. Needless to say, the pizza went back and we got a new one. :icon_eek::icon_eek:
Then it got super ugly. When we finally got our pizza and started eating it, I noticed that the server, who was still waiting tables, including ours, was cleaning the bathroom at the same time. Unbielievable!!!! Needless to say I was livid, which led to a serious skirmish with the manager, which led to a skirmish with the owner!!!!!! :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:

Some people just shouldn't be in the food business, period.

I call that "The Claw" and can't stand when they do it. I will ask for a straw, I'm scared to send anything back for fear of what I will get the second time. Ever see the movie "Waiting"?

Yup, that's always a concern! :biggrin:

[smokinhusker]

We don't eat out very often at all! 

 

[bluebombersfan]

Yuk.  When I was a teenager a few friends worked at one of the local cheap pizza chains in town.  They used to have mouse races in the back when they were slow with the mice they caught in the kitchen. 

 

[southernsausage]

SICK!!!!!

 

[hitechredneck]

It's better the races than raw chicken on the floor in the back waiting for butchering...  I went to a chinese restaurant one time and had to hit the head.  On the way, I got a peek into the kitchen.  Saw the guy grab a raw chicken off the floor and set it on the table and start cutting it up.  I then saw him kick one of the birds out of his way when he moved over.  I didn't make it to the bathroom.  We left and went home to eat.
