Nausea: American Food

I hope you left her the smallest possible tip--if you left anything at all.

I was eating at a well-known chain restaurant awhile back, and found a 1" long piece of pointy plastic inside my quesadilla. I did keep eating, because I was hungry, and the plastic didn't look gross, though I did wonder how it got there. When I finally saw the waitress (it was unusually busy--whole place packed out with a long line waiting), I showed it to her and she was appropriately appalled and went and got the manager, who was appropriately conciliatory. I half expected him to turn around to the waitress and say, "Jen! Sack the entire washing up staff!" But they gave me my entire meal for free, including my beverage and appetizer, and they called the next day to make sure I was okay and hadn't swallowed any other smaller piece of plastic (that would have caused some gastric upset).

So I'll go back again sometime--simply because they know how to treat their customers.

I've got a story, but it's so gross that I decided not to share it, it'll really put you off your feed. (It had to do with a knish I bought and partly-ate from a deli.)

But keep in mind Henry VIIIth whenever you hear about how bad fast food is for you, he had gout, fatty liver disease, all the symptoms that the film producer had from eating three Supersized meals a day for a month. And he ate *only* "organically-grown" food, no artificial anything, no pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, no preservatives, just fresh food prepared by the best cooks a king could find. He just ate too much of it. (Gluttony *is* one of the "seven deadly sins", Nespa?)

In the deli incident, absolutely!

One of the main points stressed by fast food franchises is absolute adherence to sanitation, but there are problem when people come from countries that have lower sanitation standards (as a cultural thing) are told to maintain restaurant-quality sanitation standards, and that isn't limited to fast food restaurants. In fact, since fast food franchises are aware of the issue, they make all employees watch company-made films about the dangers of unsanitary behaviors, something that regular restaurants *don't* do.

Uhuhuh. That is why I eat all my meals in one place. The bartender, wipes my glases for about 2 minutes with cloth and they bring out fish, chicken or beef before it is cooked.
No, I have not bought new clothes in over a year. One must have their priorities!
