In 1974 I ate a plate of strawberry pancakes & heavy syrup that had a small but gross, crusty old pancake&syrup leftover spot, including a dead fly, UNDERNEATH the "fresh" pancakes, WHICH I didn't find UNTIL I was almost finished with my "fresh" cakes.
Yum, dirt AND extra protein. Not!
Apparently, it just wasn't the dishwasher's day.
They wanted to give me a complementary new plate of cakes, but I was understandably no longer hungry.
Another time, the same restaurant employed a waitress who left her job just after taking our order. Just quit, didnt say goodbye or even put in the orders of four tables. Since our table made a pretty large order, we sat a good 30 minutes without complaint . Unfortunately there were NO OTHER WAITRESSES in the restaurant during that time, so when we went in back to inquire only the cook, a dishwasher and a manager were there. Oops, they'd been too busy in back to notice no orders were coming thru plus their waitress had quit.
Hungry, that time we left hungry and I think we never went back.
