I was once at a fast food restaurant getting lunch. I noticed they dropped a whole bunch of fries on the floor, but I didn’t think twice about it. Well, when I got home, I noticed the fries had black specks on them and were dirty. To make a long story short, I ended up going to another restaurant to get some healthier and cleaner food.

A friend and I were having lunch together one day and decided to each order a sandwich/burger and split an order of fries. We got our sandwiches and put the plate of fries between us and began to eat. Everything tasted good as expected, but when we got down to the last few fries we saw a piece of chewing gum stuck to the plate. Yes… it had been chewed! We told our waitress about it and in a very unsurprised manner she said “I won’t charge you for the fries!”

On Saturday the 13th of March, my wife and I went into O’C's located in Avon, Indiana. We were greeted cordially and seated promptly. After sitting in the booth for a while, we noticed ants crawling on us and the table. We also noticed ants crawling along the window sill. We informed the waiter who promptly found us a new table and apologized for the ants.

After we were relocated, we placed our order. We ordered our drinks and a quesadilla appetizer. Drinks were delivered and we placed our order for our dinners. The salads with the dinners were delivered before the appetizer we ordered. Halfway through eating my salad, I noticed the lettuce being real dry in my mouth. I pulled the lettuce out to find a tissue. A tissue that people use to blow their noses was mixed into my salad! If the tissue was used or not I do not know. At that time I was so mad I yelled at the waiter. He said he apologized and would go and get the manager. I replied forget getting the manager… we are done here! This is disgusting I said.

We started on our way out of the restaurant. The manager was following us. I spoke with him and all he could really do is apologize for the situation. At that time apologies were just not good enough. I was furious. And I am still very upset with the situation. I am also sending a report to the Local Health department and BBB. Things like this should never, NEVER, happen in a business. Our experience at that restaurant was a disgusting and unhealthy one.

My hairy ordeal happened in a local establishment that I used to frequent quite often. This day I decided to order a grilled cheese. They make a fabulous grilled cheese using three different cheeses and sour dough bread. It’s awesome. Well it was. I had just taken a couple of bites when I noticed something sticking out of my sandwich. At first I thought it was just a string of burnt cheese, then quickly realized it was on the cut edge, so I peeled the bread back to see hair. Not just one but a little clump of hair in my grilled cheese. I was instantly nauseous. Had I just eaten hair?

So I tell the waitress who was very kind, apologized and ran off to tell the manager. Who never apologized, and just said he’d give me a whole 10% off since I had already eaten some of it, even though I explained that had I seen that hair I wouldn’t have eaten at all. Nice! Needless to say that was the last time I ate there.

Orders Switched By Sloppy Slob

April 15, 2009 Fast Food Stories

This happened a long time ago but it is hard to forget this. An employee who can’t keep orders right is one thing, but what this employee at a B. Castle in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area, Michigan did was very inexcusable. Way back in about 1985 or ’86 (back then this fast foods restaurant was only [...]

This formerly famous Baltimore restaurant is no longer in business, thankfully. I was not the recipient of this disgusting story, but I witnessed it. I was at dinner with my husband, our 2 1/2 year old son and newborn daughter, and my mother, who had come to town to help with the baby. We took [...]

Salad Green Leaps From Plate

November 16, 2007 Insect & Animal Stories

As a bartender in a summer resort town at a nice restaurant on the water, I sometimes assist the waitrons at tables near the bar if the bar itself is slow, or if I want to get in good with a waitress (bigger tip-outs). So I went to a table to help, delivering four standard [...]

Beware Of The Double Dipping Granny

November 16, 2007 Sanitation Stories

I was having lunch at a well known restaurant. You know the one which is known for their “famous bread bakers.” I was sitting at a table by the sample display – unprotected food sitting out for all to spread their germs on. Being in the health field, I was surprised that having unwrapped foods [...]
