No but for real. That shit happens a lot. The one restaurant I worked at was pretty posh little place and the chef had high standards.
But I found out that when the dish washer was bringing in like twenty pounds of beef she tripped and it went all over the floor. She picked it up, wrapped them and put them in the fridge.
I would say it is an even better reflection of chain restaurants where the cooking staff is more likely to be 20-30 years old with no real culinary training. (I was one of those people)
I was eating a big ass burrito from a Mexican joint a couple months or so ago and ended up with a sewing needle in my mouth. It didn't prick me and I didn't swallow it. I took it out and laid it on the plate. Finished my burrito and gave the needle to the waitress and told her to give it back to the cook.
I still eat there every couple weeks.

Ugh fussy eaters are so annoying.

I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
yeah i was talking with some of my coworkers, they are so fussy, there are so many things they don't like (which is weird, i like everything)
like drinking milk is apparently weird
and one of them doesn't like "ethnic" food
wtf people
also, you want to know what really might make you want to not eat out
my friend's just right now is as a health inspector, he just started a month ago
he hates it except for the occasional excitement of shutting a place down
but he sees so many cockroaches EVERYWHERE
and such terrible food handling

A temp job my wife had sent an e-mail around asking people to "please not eat ethnic food at your desk during your lunch break, the smell is bothering your co-workers."
once I was working an outdoor wedding. we had to drive all the supplies up from the hotel. while we were unloading literally all the silverware fell off the cart and onto the dirt road. thankfully the head chef was there and was like 'well better pick it all up before anyone sees.'
Well it depends on what you class as fussy, I'm not great with spicy stuff, and I prefer the meat in meals to be good quality, and vegetables not to be boiled within an inch of their life.

I didn't understand it either. By then I had some nice grub in my stomach and was too content to make a fuss. Haven't experienced anything like that there before or since.

My last job was especially disgusting. I'm talking grease bubbling up through a pipe in the floor gross.
I'm talking unidentified (but probably chicken) objects clogging an ice bin. I'm talking chili being scooped off a floor and reused.
jesus christ dude
the health inspector would've had a heart attack
I honestly don't know how they haven't been closed down. I personally witnessed two of those things I mentioned before happening. ORANGE GREASE SHOULD NOT BE ERUPTING FROM OUR FLOOR BOSS
Another fun one was when the dish machine backed up and dishwater flooded the back. It was coming out of the floor.
They didn't close the restaurant, for the record.

Maybe that's fussy, I dunno.
Not really. I'm talking about people who just refuse to eat certain things and won't shut up and stop complaining about it.

Yeah, I was going to say, minus the spice comment that just sounds like you want good food.

who wants to talk about the fact that every 40 year old white woman has suddenly decided that she and usually her two blond kids are all gluten intolerant because lol
this actually makes my summer kitchen job significantly harder, too

I actually think that place was built on top of a native american burial ground
Oh man I work in the bar in a hotel. A couple weeks ago the septic tanked backed up into the showers in the basement. The floor was literally covered in 6 inches of shit. You could smell fecal matter all throughout the hotel. The absurd part was not that we didn't even close the restaraunt or the bar but that people actually stayed and ate.

Because they're white and blonde...? Why would they think that?
I'm just too happy to have a meal to complain about things.
Remembering times where I went days without food puts things into perspective for me.
Not that I eat a lot nowadays. My appetite has been funny lately. I did make some nice fried chicken the other night. Leftovers of that are going to run out today.
That said I am more than willing to try something out no matter how strange it may seem.

because the health food industry has a vested interest in convincing everyone that they are gluten intolerant

throw it on the grill for a few seconds and put it on the plate
not so much germs as dust forming some saucy kind of food-mud

But Pip!! Noooo!
The ServSafe Certification test said....
also when I worked as a linecook i used to drop chicken wings on the floor all the time
no problem just sauce them again and serve
our servsafe professor even said
"This is what the rules are, your chef will tell you to violate them at every corner. If you want to keep a job, you will listen to them."
If I don't see gross stuff happen to my food, it doesn't make it taste funny, and doesn't make me sick, it may as well have not happened.
Yeah but I also can't have that thought in the back of my mind, either.
I still eat there every couple weeks.

I never minded fussy eaters as a server/cook as long as they recognized they were fussy and tipped accordingly.
if that's FUSSY, i guess i'm fussy
which is fine i suppose, that's not weird like my coworkers and the weird things they actively dislike
i will eat anything though
