MY STRANGEST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE

Fark.com asked, “What was your strangest restaurant experience?” Somd of the replies:
– “The waiter dropped the pu-pu platter. Yes, there was a fire.”
– “We were in a Wendy’s that got robbed.”
– “Went to a sub shop. The girl behind the counter finishes making my sandwich and she was wrapping it up when she drops my sandwich face-open onto the floor right in front of me. I said nothing. Sure enough she scoops my sandwich up off the floor, wraps it up and puts it in a bag & rings me up like nothing happened. She rings it up at the register like I didn’t just watch what happened. My friend’s at the door waiting for me, so I said “Just a minute, I’m going to see if I can get a sandwich that hasn’t been on the floor.” She frowns and starts remaking my 2nd sandwich, and as she’s doing so I watch a cockroach crawl out of the lettuce tray and start walking around in the meats. Ended up getting something from the vending machine.”
– “I was at a pizza place. The owner’s 5-year-old son was folding pizza boxes. He would place the cardboard flat on the floor, walk onto it barefoot, reach down and grab the flap, fold the corner, pivot to the next flap, repeat until the edges were done, then step out of the box and start another. I never order a pizza to go anymore.”
– “Was at an Applebee’s when the kitchen caught on fire. Smoke filled the restaurant first, all the customers started filing out. Turned around and saw flames on the roof. Never paid for our drinks.”
– “Some drunk guy had ordered a plate of over-easy eggs and hash browns which he had stirred up together in a nasty mush. He passed out and went face-first into his plate. He was actually drowning in that plate of food. A guy sitting beside him grabbed his hair and pulled him out of the plate and leaned him back far enough so that his airway stayed open. He sat there just like that with eggs and hashbrowns dripping off his face and was still there when I left.”
– “I was working as a dishwasher. One night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, I suddenly get a giant shock, and stumble 5 feet back from the sink. I assume that lightning struck pretty close by, and some residual electricity made its way up the plumbing.”
– “At Hooters, I got the best BLT sandwich I think I’ve ever had. It was magnificent, bread toasted to perfection, nice crispy bacon & cool crunchy lettuce & a big beautiful center-slice of tomato. Waitress says to me, “I didn’t know how to ring it up, so I put it in as an order of toast.” Cost me like $1.70. So if you ever go to Hooters, I highly recommend the BLT.”
– “Restaurant decided to replace their tile floor in the middle of dinner. Contractor comes in, sets up his wet saw, proceeds to chisel up the old floor, then sets down the new floor, and cuts the edge pieces. In the middle of the restaurant, between the bar and the tables, while people are eating.”
