The other night a woman found a bug in her pasta. It was clearly a cockroach but the manager lied and said it was a cricket. To save our company from a law suit. Can I just make it clear that if anyone out there thinks that restaurants are bug and cockroch free you are mistaken my dear people. Restaurants have bug issues. It is impossible for them not to have them. At my particular restuarant we have "Bug Night" where a bug man comes and sprays the entire restaurant. This happens every first Monday of the month to keep the bug population to a minimum.
Anyways back to the cricket, sorry I mean roach. I watched as the horrified woman shoved the plate in my manager's face. She was yelling at the top of her lungs and turning to all the tables in her area telling them what happened. She looked up at the manager and said, "Please check and make sure the entire bug body is still in the pasta? I only saw the head I just don't want to think that I could have eaten a bug!!!" Our manager smiled and said yes I see the other half of the body, don't worry." The manager walked in the back and with the most terrified look on her face said to me, "Rachel the other half of the body is missing!" All I could think was, "wow what a great night." What is even better our manager took care of the whole bill and gave them free meal cards for their next visit. LOL I looked at my manager and said, I don't think these ones will be returning anytime soon." She smiled and said its the least I could do, she ate a cockroach."
"Bug Night" came twice this month :)
