a fly in the fries

[habitofbeingright]

no one was sucky but it was nasty!!!
my WIFI at home was down and my faince was using my computer for a online classes test due tonight.
We remembered that mcdonalds had a pay per use WIFI so we went down there and they gave us a coupon for free wifi (YAY!!!)
ordered our food and i got halfway done with my fries and i saw a dead fly in my fries. not a freshly dead one but one that looked like it had half way decomposed.
I went up to the counter and exchanged the fries for that of the same type.
they took care of me and i try not to cause trouble but dear lord that was so nasty

This one time, I was eating at Wendy's, when I noticed my chili tasted a bit fingery.












Turns out I was eating it with my hands.

I had a similar thing happen to me at a McDonald's. I ordered a large Diet Coke, and when I finished with it, I happened to glance through the lid and noticed something like a small black dot. Removing the lid, I found a fly amongst the ice. I took it up to show them, mainly with the intention of letting them know so they could check their ice to make sure there weren't any more in there, since I figured that's how it got in there. The general attitude I received from them was basically that I put it in there, although they didn't come out and say it. He offered a new drink but I declined, that wasn't my intention, but it did make me avoid that McDonald's now at all costs.

My wife and I went out for dinner at a local place, and I ordered a chicken sandwich. The first few bites were fine, but when I bit down the next time, it had this weird texture. I looked, and the chicken was raw in the middle. I didn't intend to make a scene, but I started freaking out.

The manager came over to see what the commotion was all about, and she offered to have a new sandwich made, comped our entire order, and told us we could also have anything else we wanted for free, and even brought the cook out to apologize to us (that part was a little much in my opinion, but whatever.)

They more than made things right that day, but the screwups that followed on future visits (my wife finding a piece of glass in her drink, and them doing nothing more than giving a half-assed apology and getting her a new drink on one visit; the extremely slow service, followed by food that was wrong and half cold on another) have since caused us to avoid that place at all costs.

I was at a Comedy Show in a major hotel in Las Vegas . . . I had gotten my obligtory drink - the show was over and I looked down in my souviner glass only to find a piece of metal.
I located a manager and told them what happened and before I could stop it she had a wait person take my glass from me and bring me a free refill - umm I didn't want a drink and well you had your person throw away the item before I could find some one who actually gave a flip about their being something dangerous in my glass. Let alone tell me what the item was. I was really dissapointed in how I was handled . . . so yes, I wrote a letter - to this day I still haven't ever heard anything back . . . Is it so much to ask that someone right a reply that they have had their ice / beverage machines checked and thank you for informing them of a possible bigger issue?
Honestly I was not being an SC - I was seriously concerned about what the piece of metal was from - I wanted to make sure their wasn't anything else in the glass that I could have injested.
I now carry a pen light with me and if I get served a drink in a dark environment I will look in it with the light - better safe than sorry.

Fly = protein. Hey what wrong with a little meat with your taters?

A friend of a friend went to one of the local Chinese buffets.

About halfway done with his plate of food, he found several long black hairs inside *whatever he was eating, I don't eat Chinese food*.

He did kind of cause a scene, I heard, since he shoved his plate of food away, threw his napkin on top of it, and freaked out on every employee working there.

I've noticed this type of trend at nearly every Chinese or Thai restaurant in town. I don't eat there myself, as I said before, but I've heard stories of food being put back into buffets that wasn't eaten by previous customers, hairs everywhere, etc etc......

If Old Country Buffet did that, they'd be shut down.

My hands still taste delicious. I can't stop biting my nails.

This one other time, I was at Sonic, and I was drinking my limeade (yum) when I took off the lid to stir it up a little. I found the most disgusting thing............................




A frozen lime wedge.

It's nasty to try to eat a lime when the fruit has become a series of needles.

Couple of my coworkers went to a nearby Chinese buffet (a place, I might add, I refused to eat at because I have a personal rule to never eat at a place that has a sticky floor, but that's just me) and found a chicken feather in their food.

They complained to the manager, and his response was "well, what? It's chicken!"



Unbelievably, they continue to eat there. Bachelors.

Once, when I was little. I went out with my parents to Flying J's Truck Stop. I ordered a hamburger and a salad on the side. In my Salad was 2 flies. My parents tried telling the workers about it, and they didn't do anything about it. We stopped eating there after that. Another time, my girlfriend at the time & I, had went to Home Town Buffet, which is a sub-company of Country Buffet. I got some chili, and when I went to eat some, there was a bone in it. I showed a worker, and she had gotten the manager, and she decided to give me coupons for our next meal. Sadly I we didn't go back before the coupon expired.

This isn't exactly the same, but once when I was a kid I got a McChicken sandwich, ate half of it, and found out the meat was raw in the middle. I told my mother, she took it up to the counter and they gave us a new one. I ate half of that and it was also raw in the middle. She took it back up to the counter. I don't know if she got money back or anything, but I'd already eaten a whole sandwich and didn't need another one.

Once at university I found a shaving of metal inside an egg roll at a Chinese buffet. I didn't complain because they were pretty obviously egg rolls that had been bought in bulk, not made in-store.

When I was working at Tim Horton's I got shipped out to one on the highway in the middle of the mountains. There were tons of flies there and they were always landing on the donuts and muffins. The worst was when I went to grab a cruller for a customer and saw a fly that had been glazed onto the donut. I set it aside and took it back to the baker on my break. he didn't seem to care at all and just told me to toss it and not let any customers see.

I have a couple of stores. Involving roaches (blegh)

Once, we went to El Rey (mexican, obviously) for some breakfast. It was a new habit of mine and hubby's every Sunday. We'd go get migas, then grocery shopping. It was SO good. While eating, I saw a piece of cotton or something fall onto hubby's hat. I looked up to see where it came from, and...saw a roach crawling on the ceiling. I immediately lost my appitite and alerted hubby. He wasn't hungry either. As we tried to flag someone down for the check...the roach fell on the table. We both sat back, and finally a waiter came by. We alerted him to the "friend" on the table, and he just said "Oh, ok." and took him, and the plates away. No compensation, no apology, nothing. We've never gone back.

Second time, was at Baby A's. Best margarita's in town. They make em with Everclear. While eating, I saw something sticking out of the wall. Then it moved. It was a baby roach. We called over someone (it turned out it was the manager) who sent someone to "fetch" the bugger. We got out appitizer comped, and we thought he was gone...until we left. He poked out again, and scurried off. We let the manager know, and left quickly. Haven't been back to that location in awhile.

Metal in the glass

I fail to understand your complaint. The manager replaced your drink, even though you stated you had finished it before finding the metal. And your statement about him taking the glqass before you found someone who cared is totally off the reservation. I can't think of anyone more caring about what might have been in the glass, and I can assure you that the manager had the ice machine throughly examined, and the piece of metal to determine if they could find out where it came from. Sounds to me like you just wanted to make as big a scene as you possibly could. If something like that happens again, post it on www.my3cents.com.
