      Glass aside, that’s the fucking weakest ordering I’ve ever seen in an Italian restaurant.

      Should be banned for that alone.

      I think a lot of restaurants will start charging beforehand which im perfectly fine with, the last thing I want is to be thinking about money while I’m eating, or wait half an hour for the waiter to come round for the bill.
      I just want to relax and enjoy my food.

      Ruining the lives of the employees and people running the business to avoid a £64 bill 🙂

      Even giving a card before you sit down to eat, would be a decent option. Plenty of places do it and I don’t see any problem with it. Order, pay, sit down, receive food. Simple really.

      When I used to work in hospitality you would be flogged if glass even went near the kitchen.

      Why even bother going out if you’re going to do this? Presumably you can’t actually finish the meal since you need to ‘discover’ the glass part-way through. I’ve heard you can just as easily save £64 by staying at home.

      My old line manager ran away from a restaurant without paying. She was early 40s with her partner. She was lazy, petty and racist(She’d never have ran away from any of the posh spas she went to)

      We didn’t get along at all

      In any halfway decent food establishment I’ve ever seen or worked in if a customer found glass in their food and it looked genuine it would be bedlam. If you don’t know how the glass got there or if there is more in the food you can’t serve it and you would probably end up throwing a lot away to be safe.

      Also staff and managers would also be trying to work out how the hell it happened, it could easily lead to arguments, false accusations and heated exchanges.

      Also if the health inspector finds out and believes it’s genuine it’s going to be a hell of a lot more of an issue than if someone found a hair.

      Even if you’re going to fake something inappropriate in your food glass is particularly evil. You are fucking over so many people.

      There’s nothing more damaging to a business than the assumption the customer is always right.

      This does happen more often than people think. I’m bald and use to work in a kitchen, the other chef I worked with has alopecia (full body) and quite often we had customers find “hair” in the food. Although I have no evidence they put the hair in the food, with the severe lack of hair in the kitchen I cannot understand where it use to come from.

      Restaurants are already worried about rising costs and falling trade, scammers are just another growing issue they do not need to think about. As with shoplifting, we will restaurants become less enjoyable as they try to combat the risk of this, all because of the actions of a few selfish people.

      Happens a lot in the Nandos near me but with hair. Know a manager there who tells me all these tales. The audacity of some people is mental. So glad I no longer work in retail. One such example was this romanian couple who finished their whole plate then complained about the hair asking for a full refund
