When going to a restaurant to enjoy a nice meal, we normally expect good service and good food in exchange for our hard-earned money. Unfortunately that does not always happen and in extreme cases, restaurant patrons are getting a lot more than they bargained for, and not in a good way! Although there are probably millions of hard-working, ethical restaurant workers in the world, you’ll find bad apples in just about any industry or profession. Sometimes, bad behavior on the part of restaurant staff becomes part of a culture that says it’s OK to do things that really aren’t OK at all. Here are a few things to consider when dining out.

They tend to be handled by numerous staff and they are often not washed before being cut up to be placed in your drink.
