I'm a nice guy but DANG IT!


We ordered food from Minerva's today, one of the expensive joints in town. I bit into my food and crunched down on something hard and before I could spit it out the swallow reflex took over. I looked in the container and saw some burned crust and didn't think anything of it. After the next 2 or 3 bites I bit something hard again and was able to spit it out. It looks like if you were to make a second cut on the tip of a caulk tube piece of plastic which makes me think I must have swallowed the first cut piece! I took the box and piece back to the restaurant. All they could think about was getting me out of there quick and in a (this happens all the time demeaner) gave me a gift certificate andsent me on my way. They were gonna keep the piece of plastic but I told them I wanted it back so I could have the lab examine it and tell me what I swallowed. THEY still had that look of (this happens all the time) !!! no.gif
I did get upset at the end but it was because of the lack of caring for the customer, are you allright? Can we call you later to make sure you are ok?.......Yeah right! Like they would have asked that! hmm

I'd be ticked off too. It's frustrating when the restaurant substitutes apathy for a little empathy. I think sometimes they mistake an expression of concern as an appeal for a hand-out. Sorry to hear baout your bad experience. cry

To make things worse, a co-worker said and I quote "I wonder who's caulk was in your food?" confused  Of course I had to laugh then.

Being nice to the customer would be a better tactic to use to prevent a lawsuit.

They were expressionless! I don't know if it was because they were trying not to make a scene which I wasn't, I was speaking really low and we were off to the side. I just don't think they cared and wanted to get me in and out. hmm

On the gift certificate it says (bad food) so you know if I go in there to use it they will be rude to me at the end and think I was there before just as a complainer. no.gif

I am just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad it turned out to be plastic.

I thought for sure Sparky was going to say he found something that would keep me from being able to eat for the next six months.  (after all, this IS Sparky, he of the "You're breathing the same air my...".
