You feel guilty because you can.. eat at a “fast food” maybe once a week and other places the rest of the time where the meal is over $50 for basically every meal

Yeah actually the more you talk the more I think someone is dragging their nutsack all over your “$50 meals” at every opportunity

I spent about 20 years in the restaurant industry but mostly part time. Never have seen anyone mess with people's food.

I worked in restaurant kitchens for three years as a senior in high school and the first two years of college. I NEVER saw anyone mess with people’s food. Never.

Only happened once that I know of. I was working at Bennigans on Bluebonnet when I was in college and one of my tables was so horrible I cried. A line cook with a teardrop tattoo on his face told me he was going to make their food “real special.” I told him not to and walked away.

I didn’t ask any follow up questions.

fricking with someone's food is only going to happen once if it's me and I find out. That's akin to spitting in someone's face or kicking a dude in the nuts. Should never ever happen and when it does the consequences should be harsh.

keep in mind that pretty much every restaurant has cameras in the kitchen. Only a degenerate idiot would do something to peoples food on camera.

Worked at a certain pizza restaurant while at SLU - the only people that had their food fricked with was assholes sending shite back for the dumbest reason more than once or this one guy who constantly sent his food back because there wasn't enough capers in his pasta. Didn't matter how many times we cooked it, he'd send it back. That dude was the biggest pain in the arse. Everyone else was safe.

Never ever under any circumstances send food back when it's near closing time. You are begging for saliva and sweat in your food.
