George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London was an eye opener for me. When he worked in the kitchen of a restaurant in Paris a waiter spat into the soup of a rich patron.
I’ve heard and seen video of kitchen workers spitting or worse on customer food before serving it.
@Barnie2years This is really gross, but a couple of the guys I went to high scjhool with worked at a hot dog place after school and they used to brag about peeing in the pickle barrel.
@TheoryNumber3 just one of the reasons I don’t eat out much!
@Barnie2years Even in the best restaurants you are never really certain about what takes place in the kitchen. During my student days I worked in a restaurant at weekends. I once saw a chef drop a steak onto a dirty floor then he just picked it up and put it straight into a frying pan.
@ASTRALMAX exactly! If I do it at home I rinse it off first! And I never spit in my own food.
I’ve been in some worse ones, sadly.
@Barnie2years @racocn8 You wouldnt' believe what slobs women are in bathrooms. It's disgusting.
@TheoryNumber3 I’ve heard stories!
@Barnie2years I guarantee you... they're true!!
