What is the most distastful thing you have seen while eating out? Hair, roaches, chef messing with the food?!
I worked in a Restaurant years ago!. I've seen it all!. Do you have a story!?
(The waitresses used their bare hands to grab the salad and put it on YOUR plate!. Roaches would cook in the soup all day, and I don't dare mention what the night shift cooks did when someone returns and order !.!.!.) Mind you it was just an average looking restaurant chain,,,very popular at the timeWww@FoodAQ@Com

My brother works for a company that does commercial refrigeration repair and so he's at local restaurants all the time!. I hear all kinds of gross stories, including rats by the hundreds living in a ditch near the restaurant, bugs in the ice machines, roaches, and grease layers so thick you could cut them with a chainsaw!. One of my favorites was a call he'd gotten from Jack-in-the-Box!. Their refrigerator had quit working!.!.!.!.2 days before they called him!. And yes, all the food was still in it when he got there! They were wondering if he thought the food was still good!.
I get the low-down from him on which places to avoid and which ones are okay to eat at!. So if we want to go to someplace new, I'll call and ask first!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have found hair in my food once after eating mostly half of it!. I never ate there again!. My family and I were traveling and we stopped at some seafood restaraunt!. We'd been there before but not like in the town!. We were sitting at our table eating our food and all of a sudden we hear this deep, crackling cough!. It wasn't normal!. We look around and there's this old lady in the table behind us, and she coughed again and upchucked all over the floor and the back of my brother's chair!. So disgusting!!! We call it Betty's barf front, instead of Betty's waterfront, lol!. BAD!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm going to go with!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.when we watched the people at the chinese place mop the floors, then wipe down the tables with rags dipped in the mop water!. EEEWWWW!!!!! But I've also seen roaches at Waffle House, and mice at IHOP!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm glad to say that the only thing I have ever found in my food was a piece of plastic!. It was nasty, but what you mentioned has to be 100x worse!Www@FoodAQ@Com

crazy! i have to say, the roaches cooking in the soup is the best part!. the other stuff, well, call me jaded i guess!.
i've gotten to the point where the only thing that really bothers me now has more to do with people's behavior!. most restaurant people i know are sincere, but that business also attracts the lowest of the low!
the two funniest "normal" things: one guest eating a salad got a quarter of the way through before finding a giant, live beetle struggling to escape the bottom of the plate!.
another guest sitting at a patio table was about to take her first bite when *splap*! bird bomb!
but here are my big winners:
1!. a manager who instructs hostesses to seat ugly people in the back of the restaurant!. this same manager also told hostesses that when we were on a wait, to skip seating fat people in the hope they would leave because he didn't want any fat people in his restaurant!.
2!. another manager who got so drunk during his shift he was seen outside peeing into the street!.
but the restaurant people aren't the only ones who can be disgusting in a restaurant!
3!. a guest asked a hostess to save a particular table so his party could sit there after they parked their car!. another guest literally threw a screaming tantrum because the hostess would not give him that table, even though he had seen the hostess promise it to someone else!. he called her names that would have earned him a fist in the face anywhere else!. the restaurant was empty, there was plenty of room!. it turned out the guest had asked for the table because his friend was handicapped and it was the easiest one to get to !.!.!. but still tantrum boy would not let up -- and turned his rage on those guests before storming away in a huff!.
4!. people who are rude to their servers, run them into the ground to the point where they can't give their other tables good service, complain constantly, and then don't leave a tip!. by the way, we know you aren't going to leave a tip!. that's why we eventually stop coming to the table!.
5!. the funniest one ever, having nothing to do with guests or restaurant -- a guest asks the hostess to have the valet bring their car!. the hostess says "what valet!?" HA!Www@FoodAQ@Com
