What's the worst thing that has ever happened to you in a restaraunt?

Question

Excluding food poisoning.

Answer 1

I was ordering sandwiches for myself and a coworker (she was not there) from a Subway, and the man making the 2 sandwiches, unknowingly, had a dryed booger hanging from the edge of his nostril. I didnt want to make the guy feel bad, so I just prayed for that sucker to stay where it was. He completed my sandwich and, with great releif, the booger remained on his face. :-) He began to make my coworkers sandwich, and I looked away. When I looked back, the booger was gone and my coworker's sandwich was directly under his nose on the counter. I could do nothing but grimace - I was in a hurry, and I was running out of excuses for taking long lunches, so I just let it go.
Long story short - she probably ate the man's booger.
Lesson learned: speak up if a booger is headed for you or your friend's food.

Answer 2

My brother and I were very young at the time. We had just moved, and needed to grab a bite to eat, so we go to this pizza joint. My brother and I got hamburgers, and my parents ordered something else, (I think it was a pizza). Our food comes, and we start to eat, but the burgers didn't taste right, (if a 3 year old and a 5 year old can tell something is wrong, it is pretty bad)... My dad asked the waitress if we could get the food exchanged. She went to the back, and then there was a bunch of yelling. The waitress comes back to the table basically in tears, and says no the owner refuses to give a exchange. He then asks to talk to the owner in person. My dad says how the burgers are bad, and that "If you won't exchange the food, we want a refund." The guy starts ripping into my dad how there is nothing wrong with the food. My dad figures, "Fine you won't give us a exchange, or refund... We'll send it to a lab.", and asks the waitress to get the food to go. At this point the owner starts to threaten the waitress not to do it, and saying how it is his food, and taking it would be theft. The waitress grabs the food, returns with it packaged up for us, and quits. My dad slaps down money, and goes to round us up. If I recall, the waitress got a very nice tip, and the owner got his restaurant closed down. The lab got counts worse then what they had ever seen before.

Answer 3

I was in an Indian restaraunt a few years ago thoroughlly enjoying my meal when my partner actually continued to chew on his meat, realizing it was not going away had to take it from his mouth to discover part of a brillo pad - the truth. Apologies were given but we were still expected and indeed did pay for the meal as we were almot finished - needless to say we never returned to that place again, although it has now closed down - I wonder why!?

Answer 4

I ordered that soup that is served cold - didnt know. Had a big scene with the waiter in front of a quiet, yet packed restaurant including the imortal line " Do you think I came down with the last shower of rain ? Take that effin soup back to the kitche and effin heat it up"

Answer 5

My best friend and I went to a fast food restaurant that specializes in chicken sandwiches. We were skipping class one day in law school.
We walked in and a man was sitting at a table, a tray of about 8 sandwiches stacked up in front of him. He looked a bit shady and was oogling us as we entered. We ignored him and ordered, obtaining our food from the counter. We sat down a respectable distance from him and began eating. He was demolishing his sandwiches slowly, chewing with his mouth open and watching us as we ate.
He apruptly stood up after eating about 4 of them and walked across the restaurant. Of course we watched him because he left his tray of food on the table. He walked outside, stood right outside the door, and commenced vomiting the entire contents of his stomach onto the ground in the drive thru lane. People were swerving to miss his projectile. When he finished vomiting, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, reentered the restaurant, and sat back down, opened another sandwich and began eating like nothing had happened.
Needless to say, our meal was immediately over and we left by another door.
True story, happened in 1995.

Answer 7

My roommate Kathy died. Three of us were finishing dinner, and she raised her wine glass to toast the end of another summer. Then she said "oh my god I'm going to faint", and she did, and she died. It was a defect that had been with her since birth. She was kind of a ticking time bomb. I hadn't thought about this recently, as it happened in 1985, but with the Senator who almost died last week, it kind of brought it all back.

Answer 8

My wife's meal of grilled gammon was served to me under my Pie chips and gravy. When the waitress came back to the table and asked me if she could take my meal away for a moment I wanted to know why. She told me the gammon was under my meal. I told her that the gammon was useless as my wife was allergic to beef gravy and she would have to provide another. We watched her, she went to the freezer, pulled out a frozen gammon and threw it in the Fish fryer. That was the last straw. I demanded my money back and was told they were only prepared to refund the cost of her meal as I had already started mine. So being the fiery little Bast-ard that I am I started to shout and holla and threatened to upset all their customers and I was not going to go away until I got a full refund. Three customers walked out before ordering and I got all my money back. We went to another restaurant and sat down to eat when my wife fainted at the table and her face landed in her dinner. I had to take her home and that night I went hungry.
