I would like to hear your stories.
I have a few. :-)
I have worked as a waiter for years... so...
Someone brought in a assistance animal in training. The girl was seated at one table eating, and then moved to another table and was hanging out with friends. She was in there at least an hour. I walked up to the table delivering the bill and kinda wiggled my finger at him (he was very friendly, but of course I didn't pet him) and noticed didn't respond and seemed to be shaking. Next thing I know, a friend was gaping and pointing at the dog... He had an accident. And it wasn't the nicely formed doggie doo kind... It was bad, he was obviously sick. I brought her towels, gloves, a bag and cleaner. Stunk up the whole restaurant, and I had folks sitting right near there! "Come with me folks, take ANY other seat you want in the place." It smelled for about 20 mins at least. That is the worst ever. And the girl continued to come back... yes without the dog. LOL!
A baby projectile vomited all over the table, thankfully after dinner. - A coworker went to the people and gave them gloves, towels and cleaner and told them they had to clean it up... and they were my guests!!! I was not happy. I told them to get their baby home, that I could use the gloves and take care of it. They left me $10, as well as another guest that saw the whole thing. Worth it? In my book, yes.
In Peru, our group was presented with guinea pig brought out on a platter. Whole. They didn't eat it whole... but... the presentation made it's impact. I did not try any. Neither did our interpreters lol, that was my cue.
What have you all seen?

Well when I went to a Mcdonalds, I was waiting in the line to place my order and then I seen a baby cockroach where the slide down the burgers and chciken nuggets and other food items. And one of the customers told the cashier that there was a roach on itand she just went over and killed it right on top on it and didn't even clean it off I was disgusted and never went back there.

Yeah there was this one time when I went there and ordered my food and there was a hair in it. I feel embarrassed when stuff like this happens.

I have had that happen to me a few times, as well as waited on people and had it happen to them. Only a few times and not my hair lol. At least one or two times I knew it was the guests hair. (it's not too hard to tell.) I can think of two times where someone found a fruit fly in their salad... What's gross is one guy was fine with it, he was like "there is this friendly fruit fly in my salad". He just kept eating and said it was natural. YUCK!
