The lady at the next table over sent her FORK back 3 times. Said the tines weren't straight enough. The kicker?, had a burger and fries, never picked the fork up.
At the restaurant today

Bet that burger had some extra special sauce.
Neurodivurgent or maybe just a pill!
Bet she's a stingy tipper, too.

In my road days I often found myself at Waffle House in the wee earlies after a gig. Occasionally I would encounter flatware with dried egg yolk.
The yolk wouldn't scrape off so I surmised that being petrified it presented no danger and went on about my business.
I also learned that fried eggs taste better with cigarette ashes on them.
I'm still standin'.

Only in America
Did Uri Geller frequent that restaurant?
I have a sister-in-law who carried her own silverware with her to eat. She also carried her own linen to hotels the family stayed in. She's kinda "special".......

Sounds like the customer was somebody's wife and the waitress was somebodies girlfriend.
I have been to the restaurants a few times and it appears there are some people that go out of their way to make life miserable for the workers. Even if things are right they manage to make a lot of trouble and extra work for the staff.
If they tip at all it is a pittance of what it should be! Many times they do not tip at all.

A cheerful attitude and heavy tipping are my ways of placing restaurant staff on a "good service" retainer.

Regrettably, they're the same folks who feel it's their duty to make life miserable for everyone, not just restaurant workers.
A friend sleeps on top of the bed linen at hotels because he believes that they don't charge it between guests.
He's not dumb and doesn't stay at "by the hour" hotels. He IS a germophobe though.

I've sent back dirty utensils and asked for our table to be cleaned if it was not, occasionally. Never met with a nasty stare, its how you ask.
And we tip above the norm.

I, unfortunately, had a colleague who would do that on airplanes. I hated traveling with him because he was such a jerk to the stewards and stewardesses.
On Quantas once, sitting beside him, he was feigning sleep as dinner was being served. The steward was unsure whether to wake him or not, and I could see his hesitancy. Whatever he decided, this guy was sure to complain about it. So I said, fairly loudly, "Just let him sleep. He can get a snack later."
The steward looked relieved. My jerk colleague pretended to wake up just then, grumpily, and got dinner.
I felt I had scored one for the good guys.
On the road I would lift the motel mattress checking for bedbugs. I also had a black light.
I often slept in the van.
