....where no tip is involved some employees garnish foods with various bodily fluids gratis. To seek to reduce one's chances of such an encounter is not so much yielding to extortion as it is exercising prudence.

My how the brainwashers have succeeded. If you pay extra our of fear, then you have been extorted. The brainwashing and political programming is blatantly obvious on this thread. Waitron, waitperson, pay so they don't spit or piss on your food...Argh!

It may be brainwashing, but sometimes, the "brainwashed" approach is the best, when it's reality, and nothing can be done about it. (Please note, I'm not excusing such behavior)

Sadly, there's little that can be done about this "fact of life". There are many "honest" waitrons out there, but it only takes one to "hock" into your food, to truly make it an unenjoyable experience!

Along such lines, and beyond "tipping", WOE unto ANYONE who complains about the quality of food at a fast food place! Or makes a "special order" for such food! GUARANTEED loogie in your burger, right there! Number one rule of fast food joints anywhere: NEVER complain about your food, and NEVER special order anything.

Again, not an excuse for such behavior, just the reality of the situation.
