I’ve gotten to the point that with people like this working in restaurants, etc. .... I don’t eat out any more. Period.

There are other reasons (health related, meals tax, expense in general, etc.) & I won’t get into that here; however, the bad attitudes/hostility that result in potentially sabotaged food are reason enough for me.

I have found myself going mostly to ethnic restaurants, where the nationality of the people working there matches the menu. So mostly Chinese immigrants working there, almost all family members; mostly Mexican immigrants working at a Mexican restaurant, again mostly family members; mostly Greek immigrants or first-generation American Greeks in a Greek based restaurant.

Sometimes you just have to get out of the house. But, I understand your concern about mostly food places; I've noticed that more and more the people who work in mainstream dining places look like they used to be carnival ride operators before the carnival fired them because they were just too strange to work at a carnival any more.
