^I worked at a combined restaurant once (two restaurants in one building, most people were trained to work at both). I have been tempted to do terrible things to peoples food, but never did. I also never witness it. I worked at that/those places for 4.5 years, off and on. 3 years of that was consecutive. 1.5 years of it was off and on, while I was in my Sophomore and Junior year of college.

I will say this, while I do not condone anything like peeing, spitting or pooping in someones food. (We are talking potential sickness being directly caused by the perpetrator, possibly death! Cannot mess around with that.) I understand the want to do something like that.

In the 4.5 years that I worked at a combined restaurant (essentially working two places at once, can get very tired, and furthermore VERY annoyed with intolerable customers.) I had a lot of great loyal customers that could really brighten your day. On the other hand, there were people that could make your day miserable, and it could get to the point where their presence made you uneasy.

What I often did was when someone came in that I KNEW was going to make a scene or complain, I just told the crew that if they said one word out of line or did anything to displease you, ask them to leave and if they chose not to, just make sure their food took forever to get done. Looking back, I wish that I could take it back and have just turned the proverbial cheek, but I didn't.

One time I even threw a pizza at a lady. If anyone knows where that thread is, feel free to dig it up. That story was for the old donating members thread.
