[Bill Bess]

I use to work in the gas industy and would visit restuarants with our service techs. and observe as they worked on the ranges and other gas equipment. I also watched many of the servers do strange things, like eat food off plates just prior to them taking it to the table (fries), drop food and put it back on the plate and nuerous health code violations that could easily cause customers to get sick.

One actual experience is when a waitress brought my chicken fried steak to our table. I cut into the steak with my knife and took a bite, of course after I put plenty of salt & pepper all over the mash potatos. I noticed that my "chicken fried steak" was actually a "pork chop" and questoned the waitress.
The waitress said "Opps, sorry about that, it is a pork chop and it belongs to that old man dinner sitting over there".

I said, "It's OK I've already started eating it and the pork chop will be fine".

She said, " No way honey"'.

She grabbed the plate and promptly delivered it to the customer sitting across the room.
she then brought me my chicken fried steak dinner.
