Even dishwasher detergent will expire quickly. I buy those pods lately
because I like the convenience but while they start out soft and a
little mushy depending on the brand, they harden quickly. That's one
area in which I don't buy bulk. It works well and if I have to pay more
and replace more often, I will.

My mom used to make date nut bread in cans and would do the same. It

I sent a pasta dish back once after finding a long black hair in it. I
don't have black hair. They were not "dissed". What a silly notion. I
didn't order pasta with hair, I'm not going to eat this.

Are you serious? I couldn't watch that after the first few seconds, it was
disgusting

If I ever have a complaint, I never send anything back because I thought
they might spit in it. But I never go back there again.

The actor who played Hyata on Ultraman always looked mixed (like, half
European).
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...path-prefix=es

I think that a big part of my watching Ultraman had to do with it having one
of the most beautiful actresses ever on television.

The very few times I had a complaint I did NOT ask them for the same dish.

Why the hell would any server be upset if something was sent back? They
aren't the ones who cooked it. It's not a personal criticism. There's
no "dissing" involved. dsi1's comment about dis[respecting] everyone
who works in a restaurant if you send something back simply makes no
sense. I'm 99% sure not one of the servers cares enough to spit in your
food. Unless you're just a rude asshole.

I've heard about this for years. I have worked in restaurants. Never
saw anyone spit in food. It's one of those urban legends people like to
perpetuate.

It may not be personal but there is probably an us vs. them mentality
between the staff and the clientele. Hair in your food is a legitimate
complaint, but some are idiotic. In some cases, the food is sent back
because the person didn't realize what they ordered and they expect the
restaurant to take if back because of their own personal stupidity. My
nephew is a chef and told me about two cases within a week of such
idiocy. He was working in a fairly pricey winery restaurant, and one
likes to think that people with money should have brains. One sent back
her order of sweetbreads because he is a vegetarian and did not know it
was meat. Another sent back pate foie gras because it was too fatty.

Those may be extremes, but when you are in a job where you face people
like that on a regular basis you can feel entitled to develop an attitude.

From the stories I have heard, it is the kitchen staff who do the
unmentionables to the returned meals. I treat servers nicely. Most of
them are very nice. I have had waiters who were rude assholes. Right at
the top of the list is the one who got increasingly rude to me when I
tried to point out that he had given me too much change. He brought me
back more than $60 in change after I paid for a bill that was over $60
and paid with a $100 American Express travellers cheque. He obviously
assumed that it it was American dollars and gave me exchange
on it. I tried to tell him three times and the third time I let him have
his way to stiff himself out of $30.

It is not an urban legend. There have been cases of kitchen workers
being charged and convicted of doing it.

That's still a silly reason to even think about someone spitting in your
food. Unless it's Amy's Restaurant and the guest is Gordon Ramsay who
tells you the food is horrible. (laugh)

But they have to tell the chef, and might be the person who gets
sworn at or worse by a furious chef. Tempers can run high in hot busy
kitchens.

I've worked in reataurant kitchens and seen it done (in the kitchen)
by wait staff who had been treated badly by customers. Spit in their
food was not the worst.

I knew someone who worked in a restaurant who said that another waitress
was actually angry enough that she urinated on tomato slices served to a
habitual non-tipper.

Remember the lyrics I've posted here?

FAST FOOD MAN

V-1
The food tastes good and I'm lovin' my meal
But if I got to thinkin', it could really spoil it.
When I think about whether you wash your hands
When you scratch your balls or use the toilet.

Chorus
Hey, hey, fast food man
I wonder if you washed your hands.
With all the things that you could do
I'm gonna be real nice to you.

V-2
You cough a little, and you rub your nose
You wipe your forehead, and I suppose
If I ****ed you off, you could spit on my food.
And **** and shit and semen too.
